Congratuations on all of the Detroit backers. I can't believe the bookies hung the line so low for the Pistons. It looks like they got the line correct for Pistons -3.5. I still think the first half total should be 80 because every game the highest total was 81 and that was in LA, so why would the line be even at 83 or higher. Also Detroit plays pretty good defence at home and the reason why they score more in the second half is the fouls at the end of the game. The value seems to be gone backing the Pistons, but how can you take the Lakers with Shaq and Kobe against the rest of the Pistons team. If the Pistons bring their A game there is no way the Lakers will even stay close with them. I give credit to the oddsmakers for making the adjustments on the game, but I still think the first half total is wrong and going to pound the under. What What I think people should do is buy the game under at 169 and in the second half buy the over and you might get a sweet middle, like I did today. Good luck, Smokey.

Rog, I'm talking about game 5, not last game. If they even hang the number at 1.5 and the first half at 1, I would pound the Pistons. The Pistons don't want to go back to LA, so I'm pretty confident that they should win, so maybe the money line wouldn't be such a bad bet.
