NBA Second Half Totals (11/6)

Zapster · Nov 6, 2004

2-3 so far on these..........

First play tonight is Boston UNDER 95

This is also the first one I would call a "biggie" as it meets all of the criteria for a slow down second half. The only possible problem I can see with this one is if it goes to a hard-core "garbage time" too early......but if the Knicks can stay within 20-ish, this should be an easy under.....and even if not, I would call it a toss-up at worst.

Another one I would call a "Biggie"

Minnesota 2H UNDER 91.5

Third play of the night is just a regular....not a biggie....:

Chicago 2H OVER 90

Zapster · Nov 6, 2004

Another one that fits the slow down profile ALMOST perfectly.....but I'm just calling this a regular play:

Dallas 2H UNDER 100

Back to a BIGGIE......the thin air slows down unmotivated players in a blowout.

Denver 2H UNDER 94.5

Holysmoke....I am REALLY sorry to hear that....especially seeing how the game ended. It was 15 below the number with under 3 minutes left and garbage time fouling made it close.

Anyway.....here is one last play for the evening.

A moderate play on

Clipperzzz 2H UNDER 90

The game is still close enough that LAC should still be playing some defense. Pace of the game has been reasonably slow, but the refs have been pretty busy and my concern is a lot of 2nd half trips to the foul line. All other indicators point to an UNDER, so it is a play, but not a "biggie."

i went away and came back to see the game land on 190 - which means they scored 53 points in the 4th qtr to finish at 92 for the 2nd half - ouch

Sweep....this is the second time this season I have seen a TOTALLY stupid ending to a game. The first was Dwayne Wade with his goaltend at the buzzer the other night and the other was tonight's Clipper game.

Clippers were up by 7 with under 15 seconds left and GS fouled THREE MORE TIMES before the buzzer.....including a foul with 2.6 seconds left. The announcers were going crazy....saying things like "The Warriors must have no place to go tonight."

I can take a loss, but this was a real travesty.

Here is how the last 7 points of the game were scored. Mind you I understand fouling if the trailing team has any shot whatsoever. This game was over though before all of this happened:
