63 points in the 4th quarter of a blow out? Really?

65 points, actually.

Simply just garbage time where players who never play want to get their shots up. Nobody plays defense in the last 5 minutes of a 20+ point game either. This game would have had a great shot to go under if it wasn't such a blowout.

This was destined to go way over well before any of the "garbage time" minutes were logged.

Here we go again.

It was just a bad call.

"Here we go again" with what? Garbage minutes had nothing to do with this game going over.

Agreed. I was on it as well houli. Idk if this is right but I'm assuming you were like me and expected a grind it out game in the 80s.

You obviously think it was rigged.

You obviously think it was rigged.

I do? I figured it would go down to the wire and be right at the number.

The fact that it went way over is par for the course as the totals "catch up" after a slow start on overs.

Overs now 8-1 in the last 9 NBA playoff games.

Blowouts are the worst thing for unders IMO.

Players run up and down the court with no regard for defense. The only saving grace is when you get the absolute scrubs in the game who simply are incapable of putting the ball in the hoop.
