OK well we're on the same page then...I think Cavs will be pretty pumped vs the Wizards, as strange as that seems, especially b/c of recent history and lost the last 2 vs them. And when they put their minds to it at home, I'd be surprised to see a mediocre (at best) team crack 85 points, leaving the Cavs quite alot of points and still fall into the Under range.
You know what the deal is with Arenas and others on Wizards? They always seem to be randomly sitting him or somebody else out for some injury concern. I think hes played in only 2-3 of the games even though hes been back for 2 weeks...
I see this game around 185-190

True but I think even if their own point totals are hard to predict, their defensive intensity will be there at home against a team theyve had some battles with recently. So Washington may match that and make it an ugly game, or Cavs might explode and beat them by 25...but either way I don't really see Wizards scoring much and that would mean a low total.
Anybody else think that makes sense? :think2: haha
Just wanted to post this, check out the Away team's points in past 5 Cavs games at the Q:
03/25/2009 vs. New Jersey 98-87 W
03/27/2009 vs. Minnesota 107-85 W
03/29/2009 vs. Dallas 102-74 W
03/31/2009 vs. Detroit 79-73 W
04/05/2009 vs. San Antonio 101-81 W
basically backs up my notion that Cavs can play suffocating Defense at home pretty consistently and might need to score 110 themselves to go Over...I expected to see total at 190 or so

I totally agree ShortBus. I'm not playing Cavs by any means. I'm only talking about the Under...if I were to choose a side, I'd probly take the Wizards.
My point is that Wizards wont be scoring a ton of points, so a close game would require them to play some defense IMO. Keeping the Under down for us hopefully :lol:

Just my 2 cents............I have the total around 200 so my lean is towards the over. The last game they played each other last week landed at 210.
Surprisingly I have done really well on the NBA totals since I started a new system. I usually never play totals. According to my stats and the opening line this total would not be a play for me because it falls too close to the numbers.
