Yea, but doesn't that go for any team basically?
If the Lakers lose Kobe or Pau, OKC loses Durant or Westbrook, Boston loses PP or Rondo, none of those teams sniff there over.
lol okay guy, just saying thats a ridiculous number even with everyone. and their bench is pretty bare
"lol okay guy"?? WTF, who says "guy"?
Why do you get so butthurt EVERY time I disagree with you? You're worse than a woman dude.
its my thing, the guy thing that is. and i dont see how you came to that conclusion lol.
oh did a lil looking, seems like 60 happens more often than i thought but only 4 teams in 10 years have gone over 64. oh well i dont watch nba anymore so ill blame ignorance
they play even less defense then they did the last few years
pat i dont play basketball games, just 2nd halfs
there are some downright terrible teams in the EAST now with toronto and cleveland going from real good ( cleveland, toronto was aqverage last year) to downright terrible. nets are bad, philly, indiana, detroit
i'm just not so sure the Knicks are better then Philly, Detroit, Indiana... i think they are in that same general area.
Cleveland and NJ are terrible but even those games aren't guaranteed wins for a team like the Knicks.
if they all gel together then i agree, on talent, they should be an over. but i've been reading some horror stories about their chemistry so far and obviously their defense.
will be interesting to see how they pan out... i like to follow the Knicks as i dont truly have an NBA team and i usually get my hopes up and then get let down, so i'm done doing that with them.

Anything short of a championship is a disappointment in almost everyone's eyes including lebron wade and bosh so you got good odds there.

I wouldn't say Cavs are terrible, I see them going to be around 42-40 this year and possible getting a 7th or 8th playoff spot. They will get better as the season goes.

whoa whoa whoa... i just decided to skip past the second page
Miami is a +1 today, with their incredible 3, and people aren't betting the world on this? But but 64 win O/U and 4 teams have done it in the last 10 years and they're dogs the opening night!?
geesh. I took LBJ 4th in a fantasy draft so hopefully he kills it and Bosh gets killed, or hurt, whichever
