Detroit/Seattle UNDER 96.5 is play of the day so far!

Both teams coming off a game yesterday, I expect things to slow down in the second half.

Just hoping for no OT

RANDER:
1 , 2 or 3 units on that UNDER play in ORL. Thanks

Spurs at ATLANTA

I'm not watching the game, but looking at stats shows a 23 pt lead for the SPURS despite Duncan hitting only 1 of 7 and having 4 pts~!~!

That's scary... These two appear to be running and gunning (90 shots between the two at HT) and SA has hit 9 of 11 THREES! WOW! That's alot... I'm going UNDER 98 here... 3 UNIT play on JT's scale!

UNDER 98

 

[Randercity]

2 UNIT On ORL UNDER for me...

Seattle at DETROIT

DET made a late run in this one after being down big early on. Look for that rush to continue in the 2nd half and the game last nite to catch up with a not near as deep SEA team, and DET to pull away late. SEA is not the type of team to give DET fits, and I think DET wins this one by 6-8.

Det -4.5 2 Unit play

 

[Randercity]

Reasoning for the strong play on SPURS under is the line. With 111 scored already, we get to UNDER 209, or 16 pts difference from closing line. I'll take this spread nearly every time, except in a tight game where OT is a problem. NOT the case here... SPURS should rest regs early in this one, and it should get sloppy. No need to play tight DEF, hence few calls and clock stoppage. I doubt if this game hits 200 to be honest. Maybe... SPURS 106 Atlanta 90 final

I took the
chicago +2.5
under 94.5
and
atl -4

Just wondering what is Floyd talking about in the locker room to motivate his team. A Chicago reporter has said this team is so used to losing it doesn't face them. I think they might be confused after yesterday but I'll try the theory. ORL is shooting %62.9.

HEY JT what is your opinion on the late games??

 

[JT Sneaks]

Sneaky, thx for your expertise on the Celtics' total. 2/3 wins. Thanks a bunch.

 

[JT Sneaks]

Halftime in New jersey is a weird one to analyze and I will probably leave it to the expert in RC

The suns only scored 18 points in the second qtr, and you would expect for them to rebound, however they shot only 3% less from the floor than the nets. Meanwhile the nets went on a run to grab mo going into halftime, and they have a better scoring bench, while out rebounding the suns. Most importantly Kidd is showing why he may have been the better part of the deal as he is letting his players take over. He has no points, but he does have 7 dimes, and every player other than him in the starting five is in double digits! With a slight lean to the nets plus the points I will pass.

Phoenix at NJ NETS

Great late run by the NETS is scary... they got the MO, the Crowd, and it looks like the legs! I played the NETS and OVER before tip-off, so I see no reason to play the HT. I may play a small wager on the SUNS -1.5, which is +7.5 for the game, but I'll wait and see what JT feels about this one... no opinion on this one for me, cept slight lean to SUNS.

 

[Randercity]

Guess NJ is a pass then!!

I defer to you while you're deferring to me! I'm sitting this HT out... Would lean to Suns and OVER though... that's about all. Could be worth a small parlay wager, if SUNS come back, it goes over in my opinion.

 

[TJBELL]

hey guys. off to work. best of luck 2night. my only play tonight (after a crappy night last night) is OVER 94 Pheonix/NJ 3 units.

good luck gang!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alienx]

Just for the record end of 3rd and ORL shooting % increased to %58. Bulls should be playing at WNBA.

 

[Dry1]

Damn, I missed your 2h celtics picks...got in on the 1st half boning though...trying to decide if I should smash a appliance or another remote control...I'm leaning toward the appliance...

 

[Daydreaming]

Over 95/Suns -2

Just may humble oppinion . I have been cary cold on halves so far so should probably fade this parlay!

 

[Randercity]

BTW JT... I played DEN, you played BOS & UNDER, and I played SPURS UNDER 98 as a 3 unit, and they just hung up a 68 pt third!!

I continue to humbly bow to the master...

 

[JT Sneaks]

RC,

It's scary how much we think alike on our halftime plays, thought I would take a second to say great job and I appreciate your stuff.

TJBell, Sorry you have to leave, but thanks for the input!


Alienx, Good stuff had me rolling...

Dry1, would go for the appliance, unless it is a blender, I actually keep remotes of old vcr's just to fire across the room....I am the king of spackling walls...
