By Stephen Nover Pistons plus 2 1/2 at Nets I like the Nets far more as a ‘dog than favorite. The teams met opening night in Detroit and the Pistons won, 103-100. That game was close and Detroit failed to cover as a 6-point favorite. However, the Nets shot 48.8 percent from the floor while […]

But the Timberwolves going 1-4 in preseason while allowing an average of 123.8 points per game is telling. It tells me that Tom Thibodeau still can’t get Minnesota to play good defense. The Timberwolves have been bad both on […]
