YTD 54-48, +2.05 Units

Took the last few nights off after going 1-2 on Tuesday night. Full slate of games tonight, just two plays so far for me. Waiting on a third play, involving Dallas/Phoenix. Just waiting to find out about Dirk.

Boston/Cleveland Under 183.5 2 Units

This is a matchup that has been an "under" matchup for the most part. Some of the games in last season's playoff series were dreadful to watch, as the winner would sometimes be in the 80's or even in the 70's. The first rematch this season between these two resulted in a 90-85 final. Don't see much changing tonight, as these two teams are ranked number 1 and number 2 respectively in defensive FG%. In terms of ppg allowed, they rank number 1 and 2 as well. Like the fact that Big Z is out for Cleveland, as that takes away an offensive weapon. Well aware of Boston's recent struggles, however after last game a few players were talking about getting their "defensive swagger" back. Hoping they do indeed get that swagger back tonight. I see a game played in the 170's.

Miami/Sacramento Over 193.5 2 Units

This is a matchup where the winner usually gets to 100. I see no reason why Miami won't be able to come close to, if not go over, 100 points tonight. Sacramento ranks 26th in the league in defensive FG%, allowing opponents to shoot over 47% from the field. They are 27th in the league in ppg allowed, giving up over 105 points a night. Heat should get an offensive boost from the return of Daequan Cook tonight. James Jones may also be active tonight for the first time this season. On the other end of the court, the Kings will push the pace and should be able to get in the mid 90's.

Be back later to update....

Adding....

Adding the following:

Dallas Mavericks +7 2 Units

Suns not blowing anyone out at home. They just squeeked by Indiana a few days ago, a few days after losing the last three quarters at home to the shorthanded Clippers. They just cannot defend anyone. Ever. Dallas has owned this series lately, winning 7 of the last 10 meetings. Dallas has also won 6 of their past 9 visits to Phoenix. This is a game that should be close from start to finish and even if the Suns start out hot, they will most likely let the Mavs back into this one. Dallas has the better bench, the better defense, and the better coach. Give me the points.

Got lucky more like it. But a win is a win, even when you're on the wrong side.

wrong side??? they only had one above average qtr - first one... last qtr was a shooting out in last minutes because of desperation... and even that qtr stayed under 50

Did you watch the game ? Check out the FG % in the 2nd Q.

Game should have went over 10-15 points ... congratz on the win.
I always say .. better to be lucky than good.

1-0 To Start the Night....

Cleveland under comes in even with the high scoring start and the high scoring finish to the fourth quarter. That would have been a disaster if that went over.

By the way, Sonny.....if you ever make another "nice win" comment before a game is over again, you will be banned from my threads. Please dont do that anymore. :nono5:

Thank you. :aktion033
