Books have inflated this line to the point that it's caused me to laugh like a giddy school girl. This is a classic case of Vegas taking advantage of bad situation. The Pistons have been so brutal lately that nobody in their right mind is willing to go anywhere near them right now. So what do the books do? They make the Suns a laughable -8.5 favorite. A team that has been hovering around .500 on the road all season long is laying -8.5 on the road. What a laugh that is. Even more comical is the fact that people will bet on them.
Explain to me how you can from -7 against the Nets to -8.5 against the Pistons. Granted the Pistons suck too, but the Nets are on a whole different level of sucktitude. People will try to make sense of it by throwing out the whole "Pistons have injuries", "They are in a funk" excuses which is exactly what these bookies want you to do.
Fuck em!
The Pistons cover and win this game outright tonight.

you do not know anything about vegas or what vegas wants considering u r wrong about 90% of the time you post....the only thing that is laughable is you continue to post like you are so good at reading lines and that you lose every time

I rode the Suns the 1st 2 days of this trip. I planned to ride them again, because this creampuff trip provided them with an outstanding opportunity to rise up the seeds. I expected them to take advantage of this trip, and they have so far. The line is incredibly high, but it's justified. Anything less & they would've been flooded with Phoenix money. Yes, they were -7 against the Nets, but they were playing on a b2b, and let's face it. Right now, the Nets are better than the Pistons. So the line seems perfect to me, and to be honest, I don't see how the Suns don't cover. The Pistons have completely mailed it in. GL on your play though.

I threw $20/$150 on the Pistons ML and Over 211 earlier. They are going to have to put up some serious points in order to win this one. It seemed worth a small wager.

I agree here that the line is inflated. If that's the case, why's the line keep rising (I can get nine right now)?
Phoenix is just 2-5 ATS as a road favorite of -7 or greater this seaason (9-8 ATS as a road favorite). I'm more of a numbers player than emotions or such when evaluating the NBA and while these numbers would indicate a play for Detroit, what statistical advantage or relative comparision could Detroit say that they have a shot in this game? Rebounding...no; Asst/TO ratio...no; scoring...hell, no; crowd...the Palace is a catacomb right now.
The Pistons are awful right now. C. Villaneuva is arguing with the coach over playing time, Ben is looking old and fragile and the only way for this team to play effective is to go small which hurts their ability to rebound and leaves them vulnerable to second opportunities. Amare should have a great night like 25/10/3. Unless Stuckey decides to drive instead of shooting 20 foot jumpers, the Pistons will probably just fade away.
If Lopez and Nash are out then the Pistons have a serious shot but I think Detroit is just playing the string out here.
I'm sure I just further elaborated on your point by what I wrote but this team is not very good.
