Not the kind of night we were looking for Wednesday. It should not have been unexpected. It was due in all sincerity. Also, too many plays. Five is too many for the style I have tried to develop more this season. Especially with no reduced juice book right now its not worth it. Oh well.
Lets look back on the losses and see where we went wrong. The Detroit/Charlotte game needed a huge 4th to go over and it did. Charlotte was in bonus at 10:01 mark and the refs calls were much different from the first 3 qtrs. That was worth prolly 8-10 points. So, with the late FT's it was going to be close anyway. In Utah, the last 6 minutes of the first 3 qtrs killed us. Each time, the first half of each qtr was rather tame. Then, in each case, an explosion occured to end the quarter. I guess the biggest dissapoitment is the Memphis scoring on the road. Denver is no gem on defense and they shut this team down. Oh well. The Rockets just gut games out. I really thought that the Spurs would have more of a chip on their shoulder. Then again, this is the Spurs, a very low-emotion team. I looked at this one hard and it was just way off. Oh well.
Thursday night....
LA Clippers/New Jersey Nets Under 190 -110 2 units
I really hate totals. I pretty much despise unders after tonight(lol). I had to bite on this. I like to look for perfect matches in a total. This is a perfect match. The Clippers and Nets will play an ugly halfcourt game. I will be shcked if this hits 180 in all honesty. People will look at LA's last few games and see points totalled of 115,112 and 115 and think they are a machine. Wrong. Look at the opposition. The Bucks, Warriors and Grizzlies. Last year these teams played to a 177 total in January. Look for much the same.
The linesmakers know as much. The numbers for this game don't add up to a 190 total.
96.6-97.6
96.9-97.1
My guess is that this got pounded down from 193 or 194 when it opened in Veags before we had access to it. It will be interesting tomorrow when I can get my hands on it.
BOL on Thursday night. Lets right the ship. One bad day doesn't mar a shitload of good ones. e take the good with the bad..
