Total in la/gs tonight?
Doesn't 233.5 seem just a little too high?
Am I missing something here? This isn't Phoenix/Golden State. This is a very good team against a better than average team. I look for La to actually play some defense and slow the GS offense. I see 215-218 being a more realistic number. What do you guys think? Leaning strongly to the under myself.

vegas boys do NOT miss by 15 points when setting a total.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

actually, they probably miss 5 games a week by more than 15. though I understand your point, I'm wondering what they see here to set the total so high. upon further review, they missed mavs, spurs total by 14.5 and toronto total by 15, so 5 games a week is probably a low figure.

not to beat a dead horse, but your post got me to thinking, and this is probably worth noting and a good indication that totals may offer the best money making opportunities. Yesterday(saturday) the following totals results were more than 15 off the final number:

nj/PHilly 23.5 points
miami/chi 15.5 points
orlando/atl 22 points
sac/memphis 17 points
boston/no 29.5 points
houston/phoenix 30.5 points
portland/la 34 points

Thats just one day and 7 games where the total posted was nowhere close to the actual total!
it certainly doesn't mean golden state/lakers total is that far off or whether it will go over or under but it clearly shows that the total posted is not a true indicator of where the total will finish.

I don't have stats but I am sure that is an aberration. The vegas boys don't usually miss by that much on so many games.
