Men, Nets simply cannot lose tonight. If you had a 99% winner and only had to pay the price of a 60% winner, what would you say, deal of a lifetime? That's what we have here.
Here's what's not going to happen in BKN that happened in BOS:
-Refs allowing BOS to play 90s defense on KD/Kyrie. The whistles will come quick and early tonight. The soft 2022 league does not allow a defender to extend an arm on a player to restrict their movement, yet they did that all game. Won't happen tonight at all. Refs will be watching the off ball grabs. Accordingly, KD/Kyrie bounceback big
-Theis 15 pts on 7/9, Willams 17 pts on 4/4, Pritchard 5/7 10 pts, Horford 63% 3p% in series LMAO. This is all time bench/role player efficiency its comedy. Won't continue. Please give them all the exact same shots and watch the bricks fall. These bums hit the regression wall
-The Nets role players now have their turn to step up at home. KD will be hitting Curry and Mills for open 3s off the double team all game. Nets spacing, screens, and passing were shit in gm3. Gm4 adjustments are made and the groove is found
How many innumerable times do we see a hyped series go 2-0, public says "It's over.", then the team goes home and wins 2, or gm3 for sure. Every god damn year multiple times a year. LEARN THE FUHKING GAME. The pre-series line tells you this is a near 50/50 series. It goes no less than 6 games, probably 7
What usually happens in these series is one of the games 3/4 is close, one is a blowout. The parallel I draw is Bucks/Nets last year. Bucks down 0-2, win gm3 by 3 (-3.5), win gm4 by 10+. I see that happening here. Nets figure it out in a tight win with the help of refs, win gm4 going away, win series, WIN THE EAST
Nets probably cover -3, but personally see a high chance of a close win. -148 ML is NOTHING to pay for a sure win. -155 a steal still. Line will close at -170.
