WOW!
It's fitting that the series would end that way. Even though I hit the under on the in-game total, I wish that shot from Pierce would have counted. Some OT action in this game and a potential game 7 would have been fun. At least with the two in-game bets, I was able to make back exactly what I lost on the WAS futures that I put in on Wednesday. Hawks win in 6, but this series really could have gone either way.

Missed my chance at 200.5. I saw it, but thought I could get a better line by waiting. Maybe we get another shot. In-game total sitting at 195.5 now. I'll hold off. I wouldn't touch the Grizz right now though. It's not looking good for them at the moment.
Thanks man. Would have been nice to hit that team total, but I'll take the modest profit on the night.
Leaning under for CLE/ATL Gm 1 tomorrow and a stronger lean to the Hawks TT Under as well. I really have zero interest in playing a side until I see at least one half of basketball played in this series. I think we will see a lot of cross matchups and defensive maneuvering from game-to-game, so it may not be long that coach gets to stick with something thats working before we see adjustments come on the other side. The key will be to act quickly and in some cases, preemptively, but not without seeing a few quarters play out first.
It's hard for me to say why, exactly, other than I felt a bit uneasy about it tonight for some reason. I have a feeling this is going to be a lower scoring game and while I could see the Warriors clearing 30 in the 2nd qtr, I am not so confident in the Rockets scoring in the mid to high 20's in the 2nd qtr. I'm expecting some adjustments from Kerr tonight that will yield some better defensive results. Add to it that the books have been inching up with that 2nd quarter total (I saw 55.5 and even a 56 someplace) that it just makes it unappealing when you are dealing with. If anything I might have looked at GS on the spread in the 2nd qtr, but -3 is too steep for me. Overall, I just felt uneasy about it tonight and it was a shade too high. If it doesn't go over tonight, I will most likely look to play it over once again in Houston for game 3.
It's easy to say now, but I wouldn't want to count on the 2nd quarter going over now that 64 points have been scored in the first, if only for simple reason that it's very difficult for two teams to put up 120+ points in a half, unless it's an all-star game.
