Portland Blazers vs Knicks 2nd half & Utah Jazz vs. GS Warriors 2nd half

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 09:50 PM

Last I checked, both these games are looking like complete ROUTS so far. The scrub teams (NY Knicks, GS Warriors) are getting killed.

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:04 PM

The underdogs are getting SO BADLY ROUTED that it may actually be worth considering taking them as the plays for the 2nd half....what do you guys think? I know that Utah is a notoriously tough arena to play in, so I'm hesitant, but something tells me that the dominant teams are going to rest their starters in the 2nd half and relax a little bit.

**HoulihansTX** · 03-31-10, 10:04 PM

Both of the favs will be favored in the 2ndH.

Blowout city brah

**MrTwiz** · 03-31-10, 10:05 PM

Jazz will rest starters, late money was on warriors. As opposite for port, money was on them late to cover, see what spread is, unders would be good to figuring that the home teams are up so much that they will stop playing and stop trying to score

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:05 PM

Damn it sure is a tough one to decide. Either way it's already a blowout, but the books might set the spread at something like -1 lol.

Nyk -1

**MrTwiz** · 03-31-10, 10:07 PM

Kicks -1.5 2nd half, gota figure they can lose by 25 or less, sorry gota bet that

**texhooper** · 03-31-10, 10:07 PM

under 98 in portland's gotta be good, right? it's almost reg season nba in april, though. i mean, anything can happen...

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:07 PM

I'm wondering if I should parlay the two games, or play them separately....tough one.

**darkenergy** · 03-31-10, 10:08 PM

Thinking about Portland +.5 3q

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:09 PM

Someone mentioned taking the Under...that might not be a bad idea, provided that teams don't try to jack up a bunch of 3's for no reason (GSW is notorious for jacking up the 3's). Since these are blowouts, there hopefully shouldn't be much fouling from here on out.

**texhooper** · 03-31-10, 10:11 PM

i wouldn't take the under...scratch it. no play for me either way.

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:12 PM

Yeah damn, could end up being a coinflip of a play. I still like the Under tho. I see the dominant teams slowing down and resting their starters. They'd be idiots to wear out their starters and risk unnecessary injuries when they have these games just about in the bag.

Both teams are better defensively in the 2nd half. Portland/Knicks under looks like a good call

the Knicks look like they are tanking this game. they could be trying to better their draft position. I'd normally hammer a team in this spot but they can't be this bad normally.

**pdc** · 03-31-10, 10:14 PM

portland 3rdq +.5 is the call but i dont have it with my bookie.
so i will go for knicks -1 2nd half...... theyll cover on the 4th q.

STRAIGHT BET
[2525] 2H NY KNICKS -1-115

230 / 200

**texhooper** · 03-31-10, 10:15 PM

i don't like going in favor of a number pinny is hanging onto for dear life. they hung under 98.5 at high high vig as long as possibly could when everyone else had 97.5. now they're hanging desperately onto under 98 at -119. don't like it, not gonna go against it.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 03-31-10, 10:21 PM

I had to play both Knicks and GSW here both down 27 points. they both should have some pride left coming out of the halftime.

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:22 PM

Damn I pulled the trigger...not on a spread, but the two Unders for the 2nd half (parlay). Hope it's not a stupid move.

**BettingWizard** · 03-31-10, 10:22 PM

2nd half under on warriors road games when first half flies over

**texhooper** · 03-31-10, 10:30 PM

you know, i shouldn't think about this too much. this is the nba in april, who gives a shit, right?

golden state -14.5 2nd h +1000. very small. means they will at the very least push on the closing game spread. i mean, if you could take this before the game you would, right?

**BettingWizard** · 03-31-10, 10:32 PM

anything possible in the nba

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:33 PM

So far I'm glad I threw the 2nd half Under from this game into my parlay instead of the NY Knicks spread. Threw in the Under for the 2nd half Jazz vs. GSW, but that could be risky since GSW likes to toss up those 3 pointers (as do the Jazz at times).

gsw -2 2h it's on national tv for pete's sake!

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:42 PM

Damn the Knicks / Blazers 2nd half is already on pace to go Over.

why would u think its going to stay under in the first place? big lead, random bench playing = all out shooting no D

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:47 PM

Yeah that's true, damn. What was I thinking.

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:49 PM

Knicks / Blazers chalked up a combined 57 points in the 3rd quarter. The Over / Under mark for the 2nd half is 97.5.

This puts me at needing an Under 40.5 for the 4th quarter. Doesn't seem likely, but I guess you never know.

**kobefanatic** · 03-31-10, 10:49 PM

just keep scoring to make the total go over

**lakerfan420** · 03-31-10, 10:50 PM

im pretty sure it will go over... warriors should stay under they have stayed under the past few games where there is a decent lead at half time

those bricks better go over, at least i will have a profitable night, even though a small one

**kobefanatic** · 03-31-10, 10:55 PM

nyk under is a lock

**reppin_the_847** · 03-31-10, 10:56 PM

Finally, the pace of the Knicks / Blazers game has slowed down and they're putting up some bricks lol. But yeah the 2nd half Under is still looking like a crapshoot thanks to a high-scoring 3rd quarter.
