Miami shot 75% in the first half. Probably should be up a little more than 12.

Their shotmaking was off the charts.

Didn't that lower their percentage for the series?

D Wade looks great.

Must have got that orthokine knee treatment I've been telling RicBoff about (or more likely he is on HGH)

Seen them a bunch this year.....never seen them play this well. See if it translates on the road.....think they were a game or two under 500 on road this year.

Wade has always been on my most hated list. One of the bigger babies out there. Constant crying. Great player....acts like a bitch though.

In the nba if you go to the hoop and yell "hey" is it an automatic foul ?

They got a lot of old guys who aren't going as hard during the regular season. Deng, Johnson, Wade even Dragic.

Winslow/Richardson/Wiltside young guys that have been improving all year.
Finished 19-10 down the stretch.

They're one of the lowest volume 3pt shooting teams in the league, which tends to make it a little harder in the regular season when a lot of games devolve into a shooting contest. Tough to fight through screens and cover the whole court over an 82 game season.

Indy +1.5 tomorrow...Coaching hasn't been great for them this postseason so hopefully they adjust more after the bad L. Probably was better to lose by 20 than 3.

NBA Favs 12-4 now in playoffs? Is that right Scott?

[PatsFan1283]

Haven't looked it up but I'd guess going 2nd half under after the first half over hits is like 5-1 or 6-1 in the playoffs. Some really bad 2nd half offense.

Vit your figure is correct. GSW closed -8.5 in Game #2 and won by 9. Up until right before post they were-10. Some might say most players who bet the Dog won but I use Closing Numbers for stats upkeep.


GAY DAMES = CLE +105 & LAA +100

Cool....first time this year a 5 run lead blown. Nice work Seattle.

BAL +110



DAL +9.5 / TOR Pick / UNDER 217 hou-gsw

OKC = 5-20 ATS in first Road game of last 25 Series

#2 Seed = 12 -2 ATS vs #7 Seed in the 3rd game of the Series since 2009 (TOR, SAN)*

Round One game #3 = 12 OVER, 26 UNDER if game #2 went OVER (UNDER hou-gsw & char-mia)*

*I may not play these upcoming games Friday + Sat, depending upon other systems.

Any feel on this Rockets game? I played hou but always a scary team to back because it seems they all hate each other and can turn on each other quick.
