    SA/PHO under 205.5 is a golden opportunity for Game 3

    I can't believe Vegas didn't adjust the total, given the fact that the game is in SA and the Spurs are going to be in desperation mode -- which means they'll lean on their D and half-court sets now more than ever.

    I was wrong on the unders in Games 1 and 2, but I'm doubling up on the under here and don't think it will miss.

    Well, in theory, SAS will lean on their D and half-court sets. But in reality, they may not be able to.

    These totals have been pretty sharp the entire series. I don't see any reason to believe otherwise.

    Good idea.I also think it is a better play on the spurs taking the under. Chances are likely if this game goes over then san an don't cover. San an isn't going to cover a game in the 100's imo. The need to win 101-92 type game to have a shot to cover.

    This was true in PHO, but even moreso now.

    Let's just put it this way -- if you think SA has any chance in hell of winning this game, but feel uncomfortable laying so many points, I think under 205.5 is the way to go.

    The only way this could backfire if you like the Spurs' chances in Game 3 is if they win like 109-98. I just don't see that many points being scored, and I don't see SA winning by that much, either. I'm predicting 103-97 or so.

    Sounds about right to me as well. When I saw that total posted I immediately thought it was high for a game being played i San An. Spurs will try to do everything they can to make this a half court game. That is there only chance.

    I would be stunned -- STUNNED -- if Gentry outcoaches Pops in this spot.

    this series has nothing to do with the coaches anymore- i thought that before but its obvious the suns have too many horses and the spurs are outclassed in this series. if the spurs win game 3 it wont have anything to do with coaching.

    combined both teams shot about 44% from 3-pt range last game. i dont think that will happen in san antonio. plus the spurs will get some more calls, Phoenix will be hard pressed to score 95+, look at what they did in portland..............i like the spurs 100-93, so under

    100% agree with this. Too many people seem to be relying on Pop to work miracles.

    I am with you on this, last game looked like it was going under at numerous times and the D fell apart at the end. This time it's due.

    Parker needs to start. Burn Nash as much as you can; no reason not to.

    i like over. sun coarch is way sharper than before. i love that sun coarch quote at halftime in game 2 where the score is tie. "Remember guys, you got to go and take it, they are not going give it to us.

    I'm on the Suns and the over. I agree with LB - don't think this has anything to do with coaching anymore. It has to do with the desire and ability of a team to win. Plus the Suns have my Nashy boy. Enough said.

    Good luck all!!

    lets not outthink ourselves if 5 of 5 games have gone over 210, then it's likely that 75-80% of the games in this series will go over 205... so lets keep betting the over until we see a few unders... if you can win 75% of your bets in the long run you will make money

    Seriously.

    OP is just chasing losses. No need to bring the forum down with you.

    It depends on which side will control the tempo/pace of the game. If Spurs win, total may stay under 205. If Suns win, game may went over the total.

    Spurs can win and cover an over game. More likely than the Suns winning an under game, at least.
