KingRevolver Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 ...on a neutral court? ESPN asked this question on their website, and I was shocked to see the majority (51%) picked Kentucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisHarvard Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Of course not. They would lose by 30-40 every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Of course not. They would lose by 30-40 every game. Well, I don't know about losing 30+ every game, but I agree otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisHarvard Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 The general public are "sports experts", the guys you meet at bars and buffalo wild wings that probably never wagered one dollar in their life on sports. The experts that don't know what vig/juice is. These are the "experts" we see posting shit on FB, commenting and voting on ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sixers sweep and blow them out every single game. I'd take Sixers -20 in a heartbeat Silly question people always ask. A pro team will always kill a college team. Always. Worst NBA team of all time is still miles better than the best CBB team of all time Even Coach Cal laughed off this question when he heard it being talked about. Said any NBA team would absolutely bury his Kentucky squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Diabler Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Heard on the radio today that someone from one of the Vegas sportsbooks was asked the question. And he said the 76'ers would be -17 on a neutral court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeinkeToWarrick Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Heard on the radio today that someone from one of the Vegas sportsbooks was asked the question. And he said the 76'ers would be -17 on a neutral court. And the line would be that low because there are enough retards that think it would be competitive.

BigBill365 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 basketball is one of the few sports where 1 talented player can and does take over an entire game.So if there was one sport that a college team could compete with the pros it would be basketball.and due to rules such as charging and other penaltys that punish contact it starts to take away the strength advantage.Non like football you can full on %100 engage.

BarryRunSome Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Sivers every time, but not sure about how much of a mismatch it would be I do know the Jaguars or Raiders would kick the living shit out of Alabama or any other college team. They would absolutely kill them. Would probably score on every possession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Jimmy Johnson has stated multiple times on record thate he believes his Miami (FL) Cane teams of the mid-late 80's would have beaten the Cowboys team he inherited his first year. This os not me saying this or agreeing with him, I dont. But he IS one of the greatest football coaches, college AND pro, in football history so he knows a lot more about football than any of us. He has stated this on the record repeatedly. I do think basketball is a sport where it could-conceivably-happen. And dont forget, I believe it was the orioles a few years ago lost to a college baseball team in a spring training game. Straight up lost the game. So it is not out of this world impossible. The sixers are ridiculously bad, they are not an NBA caliber team. UK looks likeh e could be the best college hoops team of the past 10-15 years with literally 9-10 first round draft picks next year. It COULD happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Hustle Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 they should have an exhibition game to shut everyone up. 76ers at Kentucky. let the wildcats have home court they'll still get killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 John Calipari ✔ @UKCoachCalipari Follow I hear Coach Briggs got excited after the game last night. Let me be clear: If we played ANY NBA team, we would get buried. ANY. 8:19 AM - 10 Nov 2014 638 RETWEETS 547 FAVORITES ReplyRetweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Hustle Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 sixers down 23 at the half. Kentucky not doing so well either only up 5 at the half as a 32 point favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he just isn't retarded and knows that any pro team would beat the living shit out of ANY college team I'm sure Cal knows he has NBA talent on his squad. Im sure he has told the kids if they work hard and do what he asks them to do he will do everything possible to get them all into the NBA, but that doesn't mean they can compete with NBA guys NOW Most of the UK kids could have very bright NBA futures, but that is the FUTURE. Very few of them you could throw onto an NBA team right now and have them be productive. At best a few could be role players. Towns might be the best of the bunch and could start for an NBA team right now. Rest would be bench players and most would not even find minutes. Even someone as amazing as Anthony Davis and top college guys from last year like Parker and Wiggins don't step in and dominate the NBA right away. There is a growing period. And you grow from playing the game with men every day, working at your game EVERY DAY in practice where basketball is all you have to worry about. And nobody on UK is as good as Davis, Wiggins or Parker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Cal isn't in the business of spreading stupid hyperbole about his players. He keeps expectations realistic. The kids need that. If cal went along with the NBA talk and he entertained the questions and the idea that Kentucky might go undefeated it's almost impossible to have that not go to the kids heads.

BigBill365 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 how come everyone is on Kentuckys dick now last year they werent even on anyones radar until they made it to the final 4.I dont think theyre that good.There offense as far as perimeter shooting suked during the tournament they were all in the paint points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisHarvard Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 UK struggled with the Boston Celtics...I mean, Boston U. Philly might win by 70 per game, lol. Basically USA basketball vs most other countries (not spain or france). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'd consider taking KY +20 or more at home if they play by college rules. A shorter game (40 min vs 48) and longer shot clock could keep the game from getting really ugly. Plus the 76ers would likely get some traveling calls that are usually ignored in the NBA. Also, I think Philly would pull starters if up big, giving KY a shot at staying w/i the spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
