Into the Bears’ Den: picking NBA teams’ over/under from Vegas projections
By Ian Pierno
BROOKLYN NETS: 20.5
Taylor Buckley: OVER. Just because it’s really hard to do worse than 20 wins. I’m just playing the odds.
Ryan Snellings: UNDER. I’ll gladly take your money on this one, Taylor.
Ian Pierno: UNDER. Drinks are on you, Ryan, after all that money you’re about to take from Taylor.
I’m so happy the Knicks will never be the worst team in New York.
Parker Fleming: UNDER. No offense, but are you expecting over 20 wins with Jeremy Lin and Brook Lopez being the best players? All respectable talent, but they won’t win many games. Should be fun to see the Anthony Bennett reclamation project round three, though!
Ryan Schmitz: UNDER. This was way too easy. Unless Linsanity 2.0 happens, these Nets won’t duplicate their win total from last year. The team hasn’t been able to stockpile talent with the lack of picks the past few years and it’s starting to show now.
Jacob Collins: UNDER. I hope we’re all wrong and Jeremy Lin wins the NBA MVP and leads this team to 43 wins and the eight-seed. That seems unlikely; however, so I shall take the under.
