I haven't been able to cap NBA games as I would like yet this season due to various reasons and I've sure missed the brotherhood here at MJ's. Searching back to my last post and seeing the gracious comments left by so many "FRIENDS" forced me to find some time today to cap one for tonight.
The most important thing I found in my last post here at MJ's wasn't the record or winning % but my thoughts on comradership between fellow MJ cappers (Gladiators if you will).

Each time a play is made you're thrown into the gambling colosseum arena where....like it or not....the book pits us against one and other! The bookies are like Romans and the players are a bunch of Gladiators. The Roman's odds (with equal $ on each side) of a winning night are MUCH greater than the lowly Gladiator who can get "KILLED"!

That's where the strength in numbers here at MJ's forum comes into play and increases your chance of survival in the Gladiator arena of wagering.

In the movie Gladiator, Maximus saluted his friends by saying: "Strength and Honor"! I wish to salute all my friends here likewise...."Strength and Honor" gentlemen!

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

As for tonight.......

Personally, I like tonight's SA/6'er total of 179 (at Oly) to go over. Here's why:

-SA is averaging 90.1 ppg....

87 LAL
98 GS
91 Tor
103 Mem
93 GS
76 Port <---Port makes everybody's offense ugly
91 Min
83 NJ

-Philly is averaging 96.6 ppg....

88 Orl
95 Mil
98 NY
101 LAC
108 Clev
105 Mil
81 Bost

-Both had horrible shooting in their outings last night (which is fresh on everyone's mind).

*SA shot 37% at NJ last night
*Philly shot 38% at Bost last night

-However, at least the 6'ers will be home tonight!

-On the season......

*SA has shot 42% from the field
*Philly has shot 41% from the field

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

If we can get a tad closer to seasonal averages out of these two teams tonight.....we should go over the 179 total.

BUT as gsp always used to say......"I hate it when Vegas starts helping my play out!" GL MadJackers

0-0 YTD

SA/Philly O 179

"Strength and Honor" gentelmen! ez :D

there he is...

there he is...

Ya know...you must have pretty good intuition or something...I was just about ready to send out an MIA report on you. Your plays are missed early in this season. Your analysis is amongst some of the best I have ever seen for sure.

Anyhow, glad to see that you are still around and about. Hopefully, you will be able to make some time to join the half-time gang for some plays. It wouldn't be the same without you. Another guy that is definitely missed is Randercity. Haven't seen him around in a long time either. I'm looking forward to more plays out of you my friend.

Glad to see you back!

Like the play, also!

Good to have you back. When I posted, I thought I would be the only one to see that play as going over. Good luck tonight

ez- you will notce that all the high scoring games by both teams were against uptempo teams with poor defense- just something to consider.

Hey guys thanks for the replies!!

Hey guys thanks for the replies!!

Dragon.....I'd rather be MIA for a little while than KIA. :eek:

gsp.....glad I'm on your side tonight! GL to us.

Trampled......I see you've still got the FUNK working!! GL to you on your NBA season, my friend.

THUNDER.....I always value your input and thought processes. Looks like last night you were up to your old winning ways as usuual! :)

However, tonight I just think that "thug" Iverson has begun to find the range from "downtown" after going 0-19 on his 3's......he hit 3-6 last night. Should Iverson be able to strike from long range consistently, I think the game will pick up some pace and force SA to chase the 6'ers.

Your analysis is correct when you look at those teams inwhich the higher scoring has occurred. One big thing you have in your favor at this point is "line movement". I see we're at 178' currently. :(

BOL to ya Thunder this season!! ez

Yo......my main man SCS!!!

Yo......my main man SCS!!!

Great angle....I hadn't found or seen that little gem!

That's why I love this forum......critical think'n all around with firey point and counter points. Fine example of the strength in numbers working for the good of all. Even if you like the under 178' tonight.......that's some important information to be aware of.

Thanks for contributing of that nice tidbit of information SCS. BOL this season to you! ez :D

ez...im not much of a totals player...but i do have a few trends that apply to side plays involving starter minutes on btb...anyway i found my notebook for 2000-01 season and found 7 times same spot came up when both teams starters played 170+ minutes...and results were...6 games over a 185 total and 1-under.....so it looks like it may have some value.....ill see if i can find notebooks from a few yrs. back and give u results....that puts it at 10-2 last 2-yrs...hopefully it hits tonite.

gluck, burgh.
