Become part of the wager talk TV family as we are going to go down the road from me interesting this game as the Miami Heat taking on everyone’s favorite now which is kind of shocking what a difference a year makes the Oklahoma City Thunder everybody loves Oklahoma
City but what I find interesting about this total is that it’s come down here a little bit and yet I’m looking at Miami’s lineup here and the guys they are trotten out that’s a lot of three-point shooting tonight for Miami on that Court um I don’t you know they
May try to get inside the paint out with bam and but it feels like bombs away here tonight in this game are you leaning towards the over like I am or do you think the under in the market is on to something here uh well this one is a little bit tough
For me I know Miami has been playing more under games lately five of their last six but at the house so far the season 10 and six to the over and OKC little bit of the opposite they’ve gone over eight of their last 10 games something that bothers me with the over
Here Joe just looking at how teams have been playing lately last five games both bottom 10 and pace and um that’s not what I really want to see I agree you have a number one and number three three-point shooting teams so you know if they’re out there knocking him down
It still has a chance but all it takes is a bad shooting quarter and if they’re playing SL slow pace I don’t really see them catching up so I’m not running to the window to bet the over I can understand your point as far as a three-point shooting but um it still
Makes me a little bit nervous so I guess if I don’t feel confident that I can go over I lean towards under it it’s an interesting uh uh game uh RC from that standpoint because we know OKC eight two to the over in the last uh in the last 10 games and ski
Said they’ve been actually pretty good a sneaky over team at home here so what gives what do you think uh we’re g to get in this one here tonight yeah I know this you mentioned the the Thunder stats to the over they haven’t really been playing any defense
On this road trip that they’ve been on they gave up 141 to the Hawks 124 to the Nets 128 to the Wizards you know at the same time they’re they’re one of the most efficient teams offensively in the league which is why they have that you
Know such a good cluster of overs in the last uh 10 or whatever games it was but if you look at the heat side they do play a slower pace and if you look at their last 10 games their defense has definitely picked up Fifth in the league
And defensive rating in the last 10 games that’s why you had a cluster of unders from them uh before that Rockets game uh the thing with Miami though their offense is actually much more efficient at home than it is on the road which is why the majority of the unders
That just they just had were were on the road um you know this season when playing their second game home off of a road trip I looked at that just because they had to adjust right they’re they’re at the corner of the country wherever they go They’re going to be you know
Traveling the furthest of of pretty much almost all of the teams um but you know second game home off of a road trip giving them time to adjust from wherever they are you they’re actually F four and0 to the over averaging averaging a combined score of I think it’s 240
Around there um so that’s well above you know what this total we have here is I think that the to is probably going in the wrong direction um if I were to bet this game I would definitely look towards the over and not the under with with how the Thunder have been playing
Recently all right V I know right no way you look at it on hell no are you looking at an under in this spot no way this has got Rob Veno written all over we got the market pushing it down and we’ve talked about it before with this
Miami team specially at home real sneaky overs spot you just got to love the out the I mean it’s all three-point Shooters going to be out on that courter here tonight for Miami what do you think yeah I mean you probably could save us three and a half four minutes
Here Joe and just skip right on you know where I’m going um you talked about Miami sending three-point Shooters out there right and I think Ronald hit on this how poor Oklahoma City’s defense is recently they’re basically just outscoring people because nobody can stay with them and I think having been
On the other day with with ski I don’t keep the last five game numbers but I do believe that OKC was near the bottom in defense the other day over the course of the last five so it hasn’t been good if you’re just looking specifically at three-point shooting Allowed by the
Thunder seven of their last nine games teams have shot at least 36% from three against them which puts Miami in a favorable spot tonight if you look at Oklahoma City been made of how they’re playing offense by the two guys ahead of me I’ll just put some numbers to it last
10 games eight of those OKC has scored over 120 points whether or not Miami is a good defensive team or not that just to me that gets shoved to the side by the fact that during those 10 games Oklahoma City has played Boston number two defense in the NBA they scored 127
They played Minnesota best defense in the NBA by defic the defensive defic numbers scored 129 played Denver if they’re not top 10 they’re just outside the top 10 maybe number 11 scored 119 against them so why not against this Miami team again Oklahoma City Anytime that they have some rest because they’re
So deep because they’re so young because dagnal lets them run um I don’t see Miami stopping them from scoring tell you the truth Joe you talked about the lineup they’re putting out there look at all that three-point shooting look at all that lack of Defense out there too
So me 233 and a half in a game here um where OKC’s been allowing threes they’ve been scoring on everybody for what it’s worth the difference in game total final score average between Miami home games and Miami Road at home their games land at 233.356 Point Gap they play all their defense on
The road play better offense at home I think I’d be on over 233 or whatever the number is now going the wrong way though like Ronald said in my opinion uh by the way big shout out to uh coach Eric spola who just uh if you guys hadn’t heard signed a uh monster
Ski extension there with the with the Miami Heat and maybe the best part of that contract is they just executed it uh one month after his divorce was Final so kudos to Pat Riley and into the Miami Heat for waiting to sign that contract extension of $120 million Pat Riley winning even when
Pat Riley ain’t winning he’s still winning there ski outstanding stuffs B
