GS+5.5 1st H

[nevadaside]

Don't feel need to post a bunch of stats here, feel everyone here knows what's up with these two already.

Just for discussions right now:
IMO.....GS is gonna be good for the 1st H & getting 5.5 for only 2 qtrs with their 1st H record vs MAVS is the safest way to go. They'll come out setting a blazing pace right out of the gate for sure.
2nd H of game, I don't know, if things aren't going GS's way, those guys could come unglued & lose all their senses & just wait to come home to seal the deal.

I saw a quick News interview late last night with some of GS's stars, those guys are talking about wanting to really show the MAVS up tonight. Can DAL slow this game down enough to throw GS off their axis? DAL hasn't found the answers yet & it seems they are still searching. GS just has too many scoring weapons to account for & seems to have the MAVS dazed with their pace & intensity right now.

Anyone got any good reasons not to roll a sizey play on this?.....other than the fact that DAL is fighting for their lives tonight.

And yes.....I am trying to talk myself into a 4-8* play here, so I need opinions & rationale.

If the Mavs can slow the game down to half court game and control the tempo, they'll have a huge advantage, especially at home. They built a 9 point lead in the first quarter using that formula in Oakland. You switch things to Dallas, with their crowd and hometown refs and they could be up by 10-15 at halftime, easily.

I don't think that will happen but I'd give it a 50-50 shot.

I agree with this as well (not definite but likely):

I hope I helped you to save some money. I thought Dallas would try and slow the pace but they've decided to run and it's killing them.

I had decided to keep it a small play earlier on in the day....I knew anything could happen here today but felt it was worth a shot. Wasn't all that far off.....but didn't cash either.

I took a shot w/GS+5 1st H.......& LOST.
