4th Quarter disapearing acts

It wasn't a lack of offense as it was Cleveland upping their defense. There is no way the Suns were going to score over 100 on Cleveland.

I have noticed that there's a big trend in the NBA this year whereby teams collapse offensively in the final Q. I am nearly thinking of betting under in final Q. Two reasons ... TIGHT games - Teams toughen up defensively.... ROUTS - Teams play garbage minutes... Obviously there will be times you get back ended by free throws late but the trend is definitely UNDER

You're right Alamo and that's what kills me I bet the over way too much, Williams I hear you but Cleveland gave up 102 to dallas without Dirk yesterday if I'm not mistaken. To be honest I was worried they would disappear.

I must be cursed Vesuvius, LOL when I take unders its an offensive fest! I can't complain to much I have some games go over I had no business winning due to OT or giving fouls at the end, guess I'm down cause its a bad streak.

Here are the 4th Qtr totals for the last 4 days...

TODAY - 37,43,43,65,41
YESTERDAY - 45,51,62,29,57,47,46
SATURDAY -45,54,47,52,49,46,46,46,42
FRIDAY - 49,47,47,40,35,45,42,57,45,62,56

Given that most books will give you at least 48 (Sometimes more on a 4th Qtr Total) The under is definitely the play...

11/33 Go over 48.
