SA is 168-21(89%) under this total, in the playoffs in regulation play, under Popovich. OKC is 25-7(78%) under this total, in the playoffs, with Durant.
These are the #1 and #2 teams in terms of offensive efficiency, however, they are also #9 and #11 in defensive efficiency. Which prevails tonight? I am going with defense.
Both teams are playing excellent defense against the 3 pt. shot, allowing only 33% in the postseason. Also, both are allowing a stingy 41-42% in FG% in these playoffs. Pace has slowed down considerably in this postseason with SA averaging 2 less points per 100 possessions and OKC 4 less points. OKC is much more polished defensively than Utah or the Clips; SA will have some difficulty getting into their offense tonight, imo.
I look for some offensive lulls and poor shooting(with the extended layoff for both teams) and stout defense on Parker and Westbrook to disrupt the offensive flow. Ibaka and Duncan can alter many shots and I think we see that tonight.
I like the under 204.5. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Superb stats Jimmy. Appreciate those invaluable tidbits. Wish more of this forum offered such insight.

#8 Posted: 5/27/2012 7:18:37 PM Both these teams like to run. everyone thinks they'll come out rusty but that was proven wrong in game 1 for both teams against teir opponents. can't see westbrook ad parker walking up the court. think bth teams are hungry to play and will rn back and fourth all 4 qtrs.
Good luck with your pick. |

Thanks for the input. However, one caveat, they both were playing teams coming off a Game 7. Tonight, both squads are well rested and that applies, importantly, to defensive legs as well. The totals for those 2 games ended at 209 and 200, respectively. So I think there is certainly value on the under 204.5.

No doubt cashinsports. Already relaxing with some Coronas and quesadillas. Should be a great game tonight.

Isn't SA on 5+ winning streak?  Please explain if I am misunderstanding this trend. |

OKC is not on a 5+ game winning streak, but San Antonio is. If both teams were on that winning streak, the trend would be negated.
