Sunday Plays

[Nolan Dalla]

After yesterday's Sacramento debacle, it's tough to get back up on our feet....but that's what we have to do. Playing:

CLEVE / ORL UNDER UNDER 208
Seems like a lot of points under any circumstances -- especially for the Cavs, which are prone to games shooting ~33 percent. Orlando might deserve a +200 total at home, but on the road they are less potent offensively. Over-reaction by linesmakers here based on recent results. This game should go the other way and land somewhere around 195-200.

Back with halftime plays later.

PS -- A quick note to everyone here at the forum........thanks for posting plays and thoughts. I think I speak for everyone when I say that all of the contributions here are welcome and appreciated.

I would like to second those thoughts. This year for sure. So many strange things happening. It's great that we have so many willing to help.

Took the under but they appear not to be playing any defense.
2nd half will have to go over?

 

[wigs]

is mcgrady out tonight? i dont show any stats for him so far--

 

[thisisbad]

Orlando Message Boards are saying he is not even dressed tonight? Wish i had known this before playing Orlando. Ugh, hope it doesn't bite me

 

[wigs]

thisisbad--

well their up at half so i'm sure you can buy some back if ya wanted to--

 

[deportes]

Will that affect the over or under on the second h.?

 

[thisisbad]

My Book has Orlando +5 and the o/u at 102. Orlando started slow but is picking it up, i may just let the Orlando wager ride, see what happens. Thanks for the heads up, that is a good idea...we'll see

 

[thisisbad]

I dunno if it will affect the O/U, cause they got 106 first half without Tmac. Can they continue? I think so....but i hate to go against Nolan's overall under bet. Might have to though.

 

[Nolan Dalla]

I've got two TVs set up here......WASH on one channel, and ORL on the other. Reason I still like UNDER is CLEVE's bench can't score points. Think they will fade in 2H (which is why I added ORL +5 to the UNDER)

I other game, look for Wizards to give it everythig in 2H....several letdowns in a row.......won't hapen tonight, especially sine Heat defense isn't what it used to be.

Good luck

Nolan nice call on the under, a bit of a sweat though but I have no problem at all sweating out a winner.
Thanks as I probably wouldn't have played it without reading your post.

Nolan; thanks for the under write up, it brought me back to the black.

 

[Nolan Dalla]

No reason to thank me, as I posted a couple of losing 2H sides which were greatly disappointing (Wizards collapse was helped by some horrible officiating -- Wasington could not get a call in the 2H -- the NBA "home bias" in officiating is becoming so strong that it NEEDS to be taken into account when you handicap games). As far as the ORL/CLEVE UNDER, that was much closer than expected, but I'll take a one basket win. Lost the NYK/LAL UNDER 2H earlier today by a late trash basket, so I guess it all balances out.

respect you to the fullest, as for myself i just find it alot harder to cap them 2nd halves, that is why i usually stay away unless i can get a good middle. Like the Sac/Sa the other nite i was able to middle between 194-211 and hit.

Nolan i have a friend who only plays 2nd half lines in foots. The system is quite simple. If a Dog is leading at the half, he plays the dog in the second half, where as most of the pub would wanna hammer the fav, thinking they will eventually come back. he went something like 118 -83 in college at hit nearly 58% in the pro's. I myself did not play any of his picks, but it would be interesting to see if we could get some stats or some sort of database which could run us the numbers. he's been doing it for the past 3-4 years and has shown profit every year. I will look deep into that this upcoming season. Can ya tell i miss foots lol. Gl tomorrow Nolan.
