NBA Friday...Am I too late tonight

Never say it's over till it's over.
West coast late games have begun so I'll be on the prowl for 2nd half play.
Stay tuned as I will be tracking Nets at Suns. See how the wind blows.

As of the end of 1st quarter Suns are shooting lights out above 80% from the field, filling the 3 point shots and out boarding the Nets on the 2nd of back to back. I don't think Suns can keep this pace, but recent NJ pattern has been to fade away in the 2nd half. The 1st Half total at 50.5 was taken Over by Phoenix single handedly. Amare looks very impressive so far taking over the inside.

Not quite mid way 2nd quarter scoring has slowed with Nash and Stoudemire sitting, but Nets defense looks better. Similar to Suns against the Hornets in Phoenix's last game. If Nets are going to have a chance they'll need to stop Phoenix more than pushing their score.

==============================================
The Nets are playing their game, but it's far from being a winner. That doesn't mean they can't take the 2nd Half. Money is siding with Phoenix and maybe rightly so I'll roll with the NJN to bring it closer to about an 10 point game.

NJN 2nd Half -2.5 at +108 for 1 unit(W)
1-0 +1.08 units

Not sure if I'll be able to get online for Saturday or Sunday I will try, but if not good luck on the weekend games.
