    When\If the season starts...

    Can you see a lot of unders hitting without preseason or training camps? I'm just thinking that shooters could be a bit off... similar to the way Overs were getting smashed in the NFL with the lack of training camps causing defenses to get exhausted. Or do you think defense would be an issue in the NBA causing more overs?

    I don't play NBA at all but I see more "Overs" because it's all about personal stats to these guys.

    While I do agree with that... It won't be any different from any other year when it concerns that, IMO

    NBA totals are one I usually stay away from. As ScottieD said, most the guys are about numbers and themselves. One of the reasons IMO the Heat lost. Overs usually more attractive

    Also, I completely despise the NBA with a passion and hard to bet a sport I can't watch. Only do when I think it is a situation that falls into my comfort zone. Which is rare. Also the books will adjust the lines to the layoff

    No doubt you are right about this... But can they adjust enough? They weren't able to for the NFL. I will be keeping a close eye on it for sure. The good thing is, if there is indeed a large disparity, it should last for quite a bit more games than the NFL did.

    My instinct would tell me that unders would be the way to go, my thinking being that being out of shape will slow the game down for a bit, depending of course on training camp and preseason length

    I dont think so there will be a lot of sloppy game play massive amounts of turnovers which will lead to low scoring games or one sided games.
