More NBA Den + Under 2nd Half

[t3a]

Maybe TOO obvious - ONeal out for Pacers, they have no offensive weapons now, Denver is a better 2nd half team and they are out of their minds already in the first.

Den +3 for 2 units
UNDER 91 for 2 units

Detroit plus the points

Pistons excel against high scoring teams, especially this year where they feel they have not gotten the respect a defending champion team should get. They are in the midst of an unreal run, they are 13-1 their last 14 (11-3 ATS)
In those 13 wins (I dropped the 1 loss to make my stats look better....)they are averaging 99 points and allowing 82.4. So what does that tell us? It says they beat the crap out of a bunch of sorry teams in this stretch. But it also says their defense is consistent, and has been leading to a lot of blowout wins. Tonight their D will be the difference against a Suns team, that doesn't play D, Detroit will outrebound them and even if they don't control the tempo, the Pistons have an experienced backcourt that can exploit Nash when he is trying to defend. I am taking the points here, would not be suprised to see Detroit lead wire to wire in this one.


Detroit Pistons +4 (-105) 4 units
Detroit ML (+165) 1 unit


Detroit +2 1H (-105) 2 unit
Detroit ML 1H (+134) 1 unit

Denver 2nd half was painful to watch - major garbage time , broke even on plays

so the whole night will hinge on Detroit, let's see if one dog can come through tonight

Detroit +2 1H (-105) 2 unit
Detroit ML 1H (+134) 1 unit

F@CK this - Billups misses a layup with 20 seconds left and then Suns run down and hit the 3?!?!

I play 1 first half play and pick the only game even close to the number for the half.

Ok I will ride this dog down...

Added Detroit +2 @ SIA 2nd for 4 units

Pistons own the offensive glass but Q is unconscious.
If the Suns get that many open looks from 3 point land in the 2nd half, I am throwing my TV off the balcony

tough losses all around tonight

OK we got our crazy finish to end the half. I just hope this does not play out some crazy script at the end.

My TV is safe

It was on the top rail of the balcony though as Detroit enters the 4th up by 10 (I think they are are now 30-3 straight up starting the 4th with a lead)
but proceeds to allow 34 points and lose the game. After allowing the Suns to rain 3's all night, Rasheed hits the final 3 to salvage the cover

recap:
1st half LOSS 3 units
2nd half WIN 4 units
Det +4 WIN 4 units
Det ML LOSS 1 unit
