210 points for the Rockets/Wolves is just too...

would you say its a lock??

I agree that the number seems significantly inflated. I wonder if anyone has a reason why this one would go over?

Maybe the books envisage double OT.

That reminds me, here's one of my tough OT losses, and it was just the previous night!

My point is, how come the O/U was 199.5 just less than a couple months ago? I know the Rockets has a newly acquired offensive weapon in Kevin Martin, and lost their defensive pillar in Carl Landry, but Landry also scores well (16.2 ppg). Trevor Ariza, who's good for 15.5 points and 8 ribbies per game is out, the Wolves leading scorer (17.1 ppg) and 2nd rebounding leader (9.3 rpg) Al Jefferson is also out, were both players were keys to that triple OT. So where will the points come from?

It's now down to 207, seems like I am on the right side of the play, good thing I jumped on it at 210...

Ouch, rough break.

But yeah, I agree, 210 is/was way too high. I went with the under here as well, good luck!

Let's bring it home!

I can still vividly remember one of my parlays last January, a $100 4-teamer with one more game to go. All I need is the UNDER (199.5) for the Wolves/Rockets game. Score: 86-89; time left: 2.4 seconds; Corey Brewer threw a Hail Mary beyond the half court line and made it!

"I still have a chance", I muttered to myself. 178 points in regulation, just need these 2 teams to score 21 or less, I still got this. Extra 5 minutes, they did 18 points, yehey!!! Wait?!? Another OT??? Fukk... 3 OTs and my money went down the drain...

I'm getting even and taking the UNDER again, who's with me?

Much ado about nothin'...

It feels like I just kissed my sister...
