    if you look back, we had a LOF try devalue the importance of Vegas odds, who else makes the spread on these games?
    when one team is favored over another, who determines that?
    Vegas

    LOFs aren't old enough to gamble anyway

    I hate to break to this to you, but you are talking to a pure LOF.

    Jeremy Lin was consistent alright, he was consistently on a different team the last 4 years.

    Rockets, Lakers, Hornets, Nets

    Notice how Harden didn't bounce from team to team like that, that's because the team he is on is the team that wants him to stay

    Big win for the Nets tonight!! They're 2-3 now. I bet Lin had a huge night.

    Edit: Oh, too bad, Lin only played 16 minutes. If all's well that Lin's well, then it didn't Lin out. The owner of the team should be notified by LOFs of this issue that's happening. If Lin plays and scores a lot, then that's a win no matter the score. The team could have gone 82-0 in the LOF book of basketball, but now the team decides to put itself first? I don't think so!

    Vegas odds are important to gamblers, not NBA coaches and scouts.

    Fans gamble
    But you are just saying this to avoid that the nets have the worst odds to win the title
    And Lin is on that team

    and? I don't get where you're going with this. Your tip jar bet you offered me makes zero sense.

    tinman uses Vegas odds to determine who he thinks is a good team.

    From what I have seen the new Nets coach is very very good. Even Lopez now seems to slowly adjust. Definitely an above average coach in the league.

    What are your odds for the Nets winning a title? 2 to 1? 100 to 1?

    They are pretty much the best estimate of what will actually happen.

    But even if you want to use various other stat projections, Nets were still near the bottom, sub-30 wins

    Let's not dance around the truth.

    The only reason the LOFs are here or on any team based site is so that they can respond to any opinion or fact that Lin is not the epitome of what is good in the NBA and the world.

    Think about this, he's attempting to disregard the odds of the Nets winning a title. The only reason why he's doing this is because Lin is on that team. If Lin is off that team, we don't see any comments against Vegas Oddsmakers.

    Only Tinman is happy when a player gets injured. Such a nice human being!

    Who's happy? I started that these fake Nets fans won't watch the Nets if their favorite player is not playing.

    As a Rockets fan, If Harden is not playing, I will still watch the Rockets. Actually this is a bad analogy because the Nets don't have anyone as important as Harden.
