Lots of NBA games going OVER as of late it seems... Haven't went through and done the records but it seems almost every game is flying over the last few NBA days/nights. Tonight seems to be no exception as all the early games with the exception of Mil/Chi looks to be flying OVER their respective totals. Somewhat unusual for this time of year one would think.

Basic Strategy says two bad teams 'over' ping pong ball time of the year PLayers have incentives to pad their stats, you don't guard me, I won't bother you wink wink.

I should have been more clear, there are lots of games going over as of late that have reasons to play for (Bobcats/Hawks, Lakers/Hawks a few days ago, Thunder/Jazz).... Surprising that so many "in the hunt" teams are allowing so many points to each other this late in the year... Interesting to see if this carries over into the playoffs instead of the "playoff slowdown" angle of years past.

He's saying it is unusual that games that matter are flying over the total.

career high for Derron williams 42, durant goes for 45 in losing effort against the scare utah jazz, could it findly be the year for jerry sloan he has his team playing hard for him, I'd love to see them whip the lakers ass this year, take that back EVERY YEAR.

Historically, two teams with a below 40% winning percentage playing each other in the month of April are 23-26 OU, 46.9%, since the start of the 2004 season. For those of you who want to go back further, since the beginning of the 1999 season, in the above-mentioned scenario, the OU is 46-45. 50.5%.
