Quarter scoring.

1st 53
2nd 40
3rd 39
4th 35

I had -16 and over 170. I can not stand this sport. Get 93 points in the first half and 74 in the second half.

What pissed me off the most was during the 3rd and 4th quarters when both teams didn't score a single point in 3 minutes 54 seconds. Not a single point for god's sake in almost 4 minutes!! 0-10 with 4 TOs. Had they scored just 1 point per minute there we would have gotten the over.

See, some people talk about 'no defense' during garbage time. But in fact I see that more often than not, teams just screw around when game is out of reach. Take wild jumpers, turn it over, etc. It's not exactly a high profile all-star game type of match... once the result is decided, they are no longer really interested.

This game is another reason why I hate playing full games in this league, too much variance from half to half which is why I've been looking more at those plays such as this - In looking over the season I noticed that games that go over in the 1H don't carry much value when the margin is >10 indicating a potential blowout.

The under though seems to be more telling so you all might want to tuck this under your wing for future reference though. Basically if a team is leading by 10 at the half and the 1H half went under 76% of the time the game has gone under in the 2H. Are you kidding me! For a blind trend not too shabby. I just wish I would've thought to think look for this sooner. There was a slight advantage to taking the under in the 2H for home teams leading by >=10 and the 2H over if the road team lead by >=10 if the 1H went over, but those weren't as concrete as this.

I don't know how this carries from season to season so I wouldn't call it a golden rule, but I broke it out by home and away and they both averaged out the same with the home team having a larger sample size so it's at least consistent in that manner.

Just some food for thought.

I'm kinda worried that Parker will not play tonight.

Can't wait for the playoffs to make some $$$ back. GL.

bleek88 · 09-10-11, 05:16 PM

I'm going to end up looking like a complete ass in just a few hours... but I'm fairly sure you lose both of these. That is, if my series estimates are correct and Phoenix + Indiana are overpriced.

Very interested to see what Taylor brings tonight.

bleek88 · 09-15-11, 04:36 PM

Like I said, its up to Taylor tonight if she can play and play 75% Mercury win.

bleek88 · 09-15-11, 04:37 PM

I'll take better O over better D any night. It's your preference.

The guy closed the regular season close to 30 U . And since this year WNBA is being accepted as unpredictable, I am even glad you are not on his side :P

I give him the benefit of doubt.

GL to everyone

longhorn2011 · 09-15-11, 09:18 PM

First one down.

longhorn2011 · 09-15-11, 10:02 PM

Phoenix stinking up in the second quarter. Not looking good at the half.

longhorn2011 · 09-15-11, 10:34 PM

Good grief Phoenix getting crushed. Phoenix outscores 50-23 in the second and third quarter. I should have passed.

Yes, I know...it's the WNBA but hey there doesn't seem like there will be an NBA season and I needed my basketball fix somewhere!!
