Why are the Nets only +130 to win the title?

I'm confused, this team is playing championship level defense and its still being disrespected by the books.

Were the 2017 Warriors not -300 favorites to win it all?

I'd like the experienced cappers on this board like Eddy Winslow and EastsideBangers to weigh in to see if I'm missing something.

Nets are the easiest bet to win a title of our lifetimes imo.

Because phoenix will beat them 

@JohnBacho

Durant is shaking in his boots thinking of Crowder and Bridges guarding him.

The Suns are facing a weak 2nd round team, they will get swept or gentleman swept by the Nets.

There's levels to this.

@JohnBacho

 Bklyn handles them in 5 if that is the matchup

@asmth14

 Agree never as easy as it looks. I do believe Bklyn will win it all. Only thing that stops them is another injury (hate even typing that lol) Just a tough out in a 7 game series. I stated in previous threads that Milwaukee was IMO the best team to matchup against Bklyn. Cannot see Mil winning 3 more games.  

 NETS PLAY NO D!!!..!! TAKE A LOOK AT UTAH.. COMPLETE TEAM ALL AROUND!!..

@Wizz_KIDD35

 Dude are you even watching the Nets play?? They are playing defense on a another level in the bucks series 

They'll have NO answer for Embiid and the Sixers size. 

KD didn't look 100% in game 3. At times he looked like a decoy. He only seemed to take jumpers off screens and when standing wide open. Didn't seem to want to put the ball on the floor where he has to plant and cut. I hope he's alright. I have a lot of love for KD and was really disappointed with how things ended with my Warriors. That injury saddened me more than an injury to a millionaire athlete should. I want nothing but the best for KD.

@racone

 You're a Warriors fan and a KD fan too. Don't you think the media tried to create beef where there was none? It's like the drove a wedge between him and the team. I met KD at the arena groundbreaking. Quiet guy but nice. Inssnely skinny. Skinnier than he even looks on TV. Wish he would've retired a Warrior.

Simmons doesn't have to play offense and can spent his time defending another guard a foot shorter than him, which is scary. Kyrie isn't Trae Young though. It will be entertaining if that's the match up. Jeez, I wish Simmons had one iota of offense. He'd be insane with his defense and natural point skills.

They are also oretty fragile.  Want to zee Simmons on Durant for hopefully 7 games. Durant wont have the size advantage.  Sixers handled the Nets pretty well in regular season but don't really remember who was playing but if Durant goes down or Harden can't return.  Who know...Suns and Jazz are excellent teams.Bucks are not going to win anything I think We all know that but they need to win the next game and the Nets and them are all level in that series but the Suns were dominate last night from what I watched so Brooklyn has a lot of work ahead of them. Betting has nothing to do with disrespect 

@StumpTownStu

 Simmons does a lot. I will never understand why people think he needs to shoot more. He drives and passes to side open players parked on arch. 

KD Injury prone all it takes is him to go down an there the warriors team few years ago. 

2017 warriors were far more dominant than this nets squad. Nobody was gonna beat that team. Nets can lose to bucks clippers and even jazz. It’s not impossible 

I'm only down on him because I love giant true PGs so I was a huge fan of him at LSU and coming into the league. The point skills and basketball IQ, the defense are all plus. And these are the reasons they drafted him but imagine the player he would be if he had a smidge of a jumper. I feel the same way about Lonzo ball. His point skills are transcendent. His court vision, his passing, all in a long, legit 6'6" frame. That jumper though. The broken, Ball jumper. Lonzo Ball has poor shooting form. Simmons has better shooting form than Lonzo but they just don't go in. And now he's gun shy, which affects the flow of their offense sometimes.

Who has the best title odds at the moment? 

?   Brooklyn Nets +130

?   Utah Jazz +250

?   Phoenix Suns +600

?   Philadelphia 76ers +1000

?   Milwaukee Bucks +1200

?   LA Clippers +1600

?   Atlanta Hawks +5000

?   Denver Nuggets +8000

If Jazz and Clippers goes 6 or 7 then the Suns. Bucks, if they somehow beat Brooklyn, can easily get there. They matchup well against the Sixers. 

Brooklyn is a no go for the Title,  I agree....they will fizzle out and crumble when the going gets tough.  You will see.....

I've got futures on nets to win, I don't think anyone beats them 4x at full strength. That being said things have obviously changed as Harden is currently hurt. I still believe they win with or without him, however +130 is not a very good price given the circumstances in my opinion. bol!

@ayoforyayo

 Cant see why you think +130 is a rub against Brooklyn.

Six teams could win this. There's no sure thing this year imo.

Besides ,you sound like a Nets fan. For gambling purposes, wouldnt you rather it be +130 as opposed to -300?

@vetdrm

You apparently forget that most of the guys on Covers have a sub-zero IQ....as evidenced by the OP's "deficient" math skills....
