The only wrinkle is with a few less players, will there be less of an appetite for playing hard D late. And scoring actually gets easier in the 4th quarter. These stresses are why I don't bet on sports...
The 4Q scoring total is soft capped with the ASG Scoring system where 24 points is added to the leading teams total to create a fina target score.
No worries. I am guessing that there are a TON of people who bet the Over who did not know this and will still not know this after the first 3Q.
Yeah, the under probably hits unless the two teams combine for about 280 points in the first three quarters. Even with no D being played, the teams will need to be more on-point offensively than they’ve been so far to approach that total.
If team Lebron tries the whole game and Lebron does go brick city, they could have scored 331 themselves
The 101-pt 2Q makes this interesting. The highest I saw this get to was 320.5. Where did you see 330?
Lol Marv. First calls Dame "Lillyard," then keeps crediting his half-court three to Steph, even after Reggie corrects him.
Got it from my teenager who is usually unassailable on this stuff. But you’re right — Vegas Insider says O/Us were mostly in the upper 310s. So that only requires 265-ish through 3 quarters, and as you saw, that’s in reach now.
Wouldn't Simons' dunk be more impressive if someone threw it to that spot, so they had to time it perfectly, rather than it just being up there for him to grab?
Could have gotten creative with Tatum and Jaylen here too. Maybe next year?
Shooting less than 50% from the field probably isn't going to get it done. Giannis 16/16 might though.
Team LeBron has enough of a lead that it's not really in doubt, but the Elam Ending is a great idea.
Tatum currently the only Team Durant player with a positive +/-, for what it's worth (nothing).
