I saw the percentages as well and I can't even begin to think that people would be lined up at such a high clip to bet the knicks against the Nets that have been on fire as of late, just beat houston on tv last night and at essentially a pick em. just no way in hell, i expect the numbers to go down be4 tip and even if not I'm not convinced they aren't manipulated, where would all the love come from? i get it there are a lot of knick fans but not ready to fire on this game, with that said I do like knicks, its certainly "easier" to take the points or just ML with some extra juice the "better" Nets, and thats why i don't see how the percentages could be right

Seems like an obvious "no bet" here. Although I may be missing something.

And no offense OP, but you need to tone down your emotions - long term they will bankrupt you.

If it was one site you could be right but right now I'm seeing 3 different sites/companies who all claim the same thing, that knicks are a huge public bet. 

Careful guys because the moose will be lurking to fuck you in the ass.

Nicks are an awful 8-25 vs teams above .500. They beat the bad teams and lose to the good

Pansy behind Scal couldn't even stay away for two days



Good luck...I just couldn't bring myself to wager on this game.

There is literally zero travel involved..... they slept in their own houses last night. That was an easy win vs. the rockets.... coming into tonight's game you think of it as an up tempo shoot around for the Nets from last night.... Keep that in mind.

Nets shot 53% last night and kept the rocket to 38% shooting.... this is a rockets team coming in 2 days rest who is usually lights out on 2 days and shoots around 51%..... they ended last night on a strong finish offensively and defensively. 

I am reading this over and over and you keep harping on the travel issue. We know there is no travel. The travel is not the issue.

But I can assure you this will be a pro-Garden tonight and not the ridiculous percentages that keep getting quoted with regard to how many nets fans will fill up the seats.

This is literally the Knicks biggest game of the year and they get it at home. That matters A LOT when the team you are facing won 14 in a row in a building you could be going into and are not...

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: New York Knicks -2

The New York Knicks are fighting for their playoff lives. They trail the Atlanta Hawks by just one game for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. You can bet that they'll be motivated tonight to inch even closer to a postseason spot, just as they have been for weeks.

Indeed, New York has essentially been in a must-win situation for quite some time now. It has responded by playing its best basketball of the season over the past month. The Knicks have gone a sensational 11-3 in their last 14 games overall, including back-to-back road wins over Golden State and Utah.

My biggest reason for backing the Knicks is that the Nets come into this game fatigued. Brooklyn will be playing the second of a back-to-back and its 7th game in 11 days. This is one of the oldest teams in the league, so these tough situations really affect the Nets more than most. Plus, they are coming off a big win over the Rockets on national TV last night, which sets them up for a letdown.

New York is 27-9 ATS in its last 36 games when revenging a home blowout loss of 20 points or more. The Knicks are 13-3 ATS after playing three consecutive road games over the last two seasons. Brooklyn is just 14-22 SU in all road games this season. Bet the Knicks Wednesday.

I haven't a clue how to add friends. I've looked several times. Mac's mess with the interface on this site which is why I may not be able to find it.


Wow. I hope no one paid for the write-up! It says free but how much different are his paid write-ups!

A better game to look at is SA vs GS.
GS has been hot lately and still gets 9.5.
Time to unload on SA, do you think ?

NETS will ABUSE THE BULLS this year with or without home court. Not worried about the Bulls one bit if the nets have to play them.... I know you're on your stuff with the Nets too.... we usually have similar insight on both teams..... 

Scal Hardaway playing or not playing is good and bad. He's athletic and a hot shooter. Which is good. But he's defensive downside and rookie instincts are the bad part. Defensively he's been getting exposed against good offensive teams...... especially with a Veteran crew like the one they will see tonight. 

I'm expecting solid to big games for pierce, Derron, and JJ. 

Knicks will need Amare to be animal tonight. Melo will be Melo "of course he made it, he's Melo. "


Yes I am familiar with Tim's shortcomings. I hair prefer his offense at the moment over Shump's which is nonexistent.

I bought it because I had a bad experience last game. It's a matter of preference.

All of that is true except for the fact that ONE GUY provides the board with the biggest and most detailed write ups it's ever seen. Oh and he's 75% this year capping the knicks.

Two very minor oversights on your part.

Carry on then...

Deron doesn't need that to play well of late.

I honestly wasn't expecting this thread today despite my hopes. First off Scal, let me say good for you. A coward runs away, a man comes back stronger than before. Especially when they have known something was coming for a while now.

I also wasn't surprised at how derailed and off subject this thread has become. Nets vs. Golden State, don't tail degenerate cappers, Scal you suck, blah blah blah. When you're good at what you do this is what happens. I tell people that in this life, if you don't have haters, you're doing something wrong. You know how many people hate me? A lot. And it's for being awesome. Sounds ridiculous right?! Well it's not. So as you already know Scal, this is all a good thing.

On to the game. Last night was HUGELY important to playing the Knicks tonight. The line was set before hand but the result shaped what is to happen tonight. I have the game at -2.......for the Nets. The fact that the line is reversed is a big signifier to me. People will equate the Nets home success to their overall success and be happy to get the Nets at +money and +points.

Sadly, I cannot go nearly what I would like to at this game. My bankroll management has me play tighter when I am short and looser when I am up. Between the Pistons on Saturday and Monday, both truly shock results, I am cautioned to keep this close to the vest. With that said, this to me is the best thing you have posted since the Knicks and Sacramento and I got at that game every which way possible. If I was going that hard, the over would be in full effect in addition to the Knicks.

In the end, who cares about one game. I'm just glad to see you back kickin *ss and taking names.

It's what you should be doing 
 

I am in the same boat man. I'm even buying hooks which I NEVER do.

And I'm very glad you like this as much as Knicks kings because That game was almost as good as it gets...never a doubt really despite the lead fluctuations.

This is a HUGE issue.... people wanna take about B2B and systems plays and all that..... its even grounds..... it's one thing to be flying in from Charlotte or something from last night and another having played 5 minutes away coming off an easy win..... HUGE ISSUE/deal here that you have to account for..... knicks arent exactly all that rested having played 5 games in 8 nights coming off a west coast trip and a B2B set themselves....

When PP drops bombs tonight and D will breaks felton's ankles and you'll hear cheers after every bucket when that happens.... that's not a pro knicks crowd.

Yeah, I think the Warriors cover but I'm not betting. Too disgusted with this team at the moment.

77% are not on the Knicks. I find that preposterous but I don't doubt you see it on a site.

The autism day is too far beyond the realm of play to effect me.
