my reasoning is simple, books set the number low to begin with...200.5

considering both games have gone over pretty easily, yet still number creeps down

gl dude, ive been cold lately but will stick with my methods, get that swag back

I'm with Romo. Haven't noticed any reverse line movement in the playoffs yet. With most of the action on the over, why is it moving the other way? Just betting a unit and no lean on the side although I would take OKC if I had to pick.

Good luck!!!

Makes sense. I've been killing it on the overs in this series with half plays, quarter, and game plays. Both shoot so well from the FT line and haven't played much Defense, so I will stick with what's working until I actually see some Defense.

Check with me next time..It helps to see things from a different perspective sometimes. My connections in Dallas told me that the media there has been all over them for giving up 106 points a game vs OKC...They are gonna play defense tonight. The Under as a mortal lock in my opinion.

I sure wish you woulda talked to me before you called your book tonight.

I'm looking solid in general. Added the 2nd quarter over 24 for Dallas. Looking like a 4-1 night unless Dallas just collapses. Never thought the Thunder would just hit the 30 mark with under 2 to go for the half.

12 point 1st quarter pretty much put this one in the toilet.
