I've been noticing that Boston seems to be get'n outa the blocks early in their games.

So, I did some anaylsis and found.....in their last 10 games the Celts have scored more points during the 1st half (with only two exceptions).

Then, I looked at Charlotte and found.....in 2 outa every 3 games this season they've scored more points in the 1st half.

Here are the scores...by team...by 1st & 2nd half going from last night to season's start:
---------------------------------------------
Boston
53/54<-(Chi)
48/41
52/32
49/43
51/43
46/39
33/57<-(NJ)
55/44
50/34
39/39
39/52<-(Tor)
43/49<-(Atl)
48/54<-(Atl)
45/48<-(Ind)
50/54<-(Sea)
48/56<-(Wash)
55/50
48/48
39/53<-(NJ)
65/43

To summarize....Boston has scored more during their game's 1st halves in 13 outa 20 games this season. They're averaging 47.8 pts in the 1st and 46.7 in the 2nd.

Charlotte
62/42
53/46
41/37
52/54<-(GS)
45/50<-(Port)
61/39
45/36
48/57<-(Det)
53/51
61/42
65/44
42/36
38/57<-(Wash)
40/47<-(Port)
46/43
48/38
47/46
49/46
37/55<-(Dal)
48/37
51/42
40/60<-(Clev)

To summarize....Charlotte has scored more during their game's 1st halves in 15 outa 22 games averaging 48.8 pts in the 1st and 46.7 pts in the 2nd.
---------------------------------------------

Amazingly both teams average 46.7 points during the second half of games!!!!

->Something for tonight's HT'ers to remember.<-

---------------------------------------------

However, I think there's a real trend here that indicates the Celtic & Hornets score first and concentrate their D during the second half.

Application of the above information:

-1st Half Bos 47.8 + Char 48.8 = 96.6

-2nd Half Bos 46.7 + Char 46.7 = 93.4

-1st + 2nd = 190

Tonight's Bost/Char Total Lines are 94'HT and 187'GAME.

I'll take the OVER 94' 1st half tonight....believing these two teams come out smoke'n with at least their 47 and 48 season averages before half.

GL team....as I fight hard to break outa this week's funk! ez

I like your Boston play!

After yesterday's massive touting of Celticism.....thought it'd be a bit much for me to go prep'n 'em again today. That's when the total struck me as a possible play.

We shall soon see how it all materializes. ez

The Trend Continues With Philly tonight......

Philly

50/44
43/37
49/38
40/43<-(Memp)
40/36
39/48<-(GS)
46/38
40/47<-(Memp)
56/37
50/37
45/43
42/36
40/54<-(Det)
50/44
49/49
47/53<-(Char)
40/33
52/46
35/37<-(Hou)
39/38
43/23
46/46
33/41<-(Min)

To summarize.....Philly has scored more points the first half in 16 outa their 23 games this season AND MOST OF THOSE GAMES WITHOUT THEIR SCORING MACHINE IVERSON!

They average 44.9 points in the 1st half and 41.2 in the 2nd. AGAIN.....THIS WAS ACHIEVED MOSTLY WITHOUT IVERSON!

How many more points do they score during the first half tonight with him??

My thinking is it should be MORE....don't you?

THEREFORE:

Aver. 1st half scoring

--Bost 47.8 + Phil 44.9 = 92.7

Tonight's 1st half total line is 91.

Others have pointed out that this is both team's 3rd in 4 days and shooting may suffer.
While I don't disagree......I believe that likely manifests itself in the 2nd half of tonight's game.

With Iverson seemingly coming back to form (40 against the Cavs) I have to pull the trigger again on the over 1st half. GL tonight.

12-6 YTD ez

gsp.....

I'm not saying the shooting does fall off in the 2nd half......I was just implying if it does it's more likely during the 2nd.

GL to you on your OVER tonight....let's just get 92 of 'em in the first half and then 89 in the second. Works for me! ez

Iverson showed up in the 1st half with 24 but the Celtic team didn't!

Celtics 29% from the field and 1-10 from behind the arc.....that.....won't get ya an over any night of the week.

Sorry if ya followed. ez 12-7 YTD
