EZTDS,roger,gsp and other totals cappers....A 170+ PLAY TONITE

[STEEL CITY SELECTIONS]

guys...as i said i dont cap totals.....so take a look at ind/minny game to go over.....both teams had starters go 170+ mins. last nite with ind. racking up a ton at 206 total with ot.....this same spot has gone 11-2 last 2+ yrs[trend is when both teams had starters go 170+ mins.]....like to go back and check results for a few more yrs., but havent had the time yet.
one other thing i checked out.....last yr. when ind. in a 170+ spot they went over a 186 total 7 out of 11 times.....and when minny in same spot last yr.....they went over 186 total 5 of 8 times...so thats a combined 12-7 over for these 2-teams...another angle in our favor....so look into it and let me know how u see it...thanks, burgh..

Burg, I have the total to be right on by my system and will pass on the total,but I am playing Indiana + tonite,they have to deep of a bench,and are a little more physical for Minn right now.GLTY

steel - I think minny plays tougher d at home while the pacers do the same on the road...IMO...I think both teams will be a little tired which contrary to what most believe can cause a lower scoring game rather than a higher one...I think this game is played at a slower pace tonight with more half court sets...at around 186.5 I like the under so far...but your trends and stats on minutes played is almost convincing...

best of luck!

Burgh, under normal conditions this game should go between 187 and 190 but here's the way I see it. Both teams played hard games last night and most people think the d will suffer. It does but not as much as the shooting. Look at the Clips last night. This situation favors the team with the best inside game. The legs are first to go even for the young guys and it is easier to make inside shots than fifteen foot jumpers and 3's. I think this favors the home team and a lower than usual scoring game. Could explain why the line is off by 2 to 4 points on the sides and right on with the totals. Good luck

SCS.....here's my take.

SCS.....here's my take.

Your trend is a solid one and I don't want to talk you out of anything......but you ask for an opinion.

If you want me to play "devil's advocate" then I would counter that very nice trend by saying this:

-I was quite impressed with the Indy d last night (especially Artest). That was a high scoring Buck o they basically shut down for 1 1/2 quarters.

-KG, Wally and company have been real "chokers" in crunch time like at NO the other night.

-2 weeks ago these two teams played and only tallied up 167 pts with Indy winning at Conseco 87-80. It was a tighter game than the final score indicated.

-I can see another tight game tonight and I concur with Roger and gsp that the kind of energy expended by Indy last night could hurt them in this one.

-Also, 2 weeks ago Minn (without Wally) held a fresh Indy team 37% from the field. Indy's solid d held the T-wolves to 36% and I can see something simlar to that again tonight.

In summary....I don't like the under 187' enough to "buck" your great trend. BUT.....I don't like the "fundamentals" of the over at all!

BOL whatever ya decide to do bro. It's a no play for me. ez

thanks all you totals experts for the replies....it looks unamanous
everyone would play this game under or no-play.....so ill pass on it myself....if you guys liked it over then i would jump on it big.
ill keep you all posted if the 170+ for both teams shows up again.....maybe we can hammer it then.

thanks again, burgh....
