a1aa0 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Ouch... Oddsmakers have Hawks as 2nd worst team in NBA... Only Blazers worse... They predict: Blazers 24.5 wins Hawks 27.5 Knicks 30.5 Bobcats 33.5 76eres 33.5 Raptors 34.5 Celtics 35.5 Warriors 35.5 Spurs 57.5 Mavs 56.5 Suns 55.5 Not too encouraging... I always can burst my dreams/expectations by looking at what they're saying in Vegas with Atlanta teams... Unfortunately, they tend to be right...

Lascar78 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 not really. We all said they were wrong last year and they were. They typically know less about the lower teams. Nobody wants to bet for the hawks, so they set the line lower. Remember they're not trying to guess exactly how many games we'll win, they're trying to set the line where they'll get equal bets on each side. Honestly, I feel good about us winning 35+, and my guess is 38. I don't see how we could win less than 28 games barring a major injury. If I had $100 to waste right now I might put some on this. Hell I already bet $35 that we would win 35 games. Where did you see these lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBAreject Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I would bet $200 we'd win 28 games or more. I'll also bet $100 the Knicks will win fewer games than we do. I'll be very surprised if the Bobcats win 34 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusBoyIsBack Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 If I were a betting man I'd bet a ridiculous amount of money that we will win more than 28 games. Only 2 more wins with all the things we have going for us this season compared to last season? Last season we had a nervous Joe Johnson, tragic death of starting center, and the youngest team in NBA history. This year we have all those young players improving, added depth to the roster, a more relaxed JJ that has accepted his role as captain, and one of the steals of FA in Speedy Claxton. No way in hell we only win 2 more games with all these things going for us unless we get some terrible injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 it's a great bet the only downside is your money is locked up for so long unless you have a bookie where u pay if u lose and don't have to pay up front like with online/vegas sportsbooks i bet via tradesports last year on them to win >22.5 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
