would do you guys think with the over on this game????
Philadelphia 76ers scored 110 points in regulation (8 more in OT) while shooting only 35% from the field. Think about that for a second - 110 points with a 35% FG%. Wowza. Two factors were in play, 76ers attempted 44 FT's and also the pace of the game was ridiculous: 103 possessions by each team (in 48 minutes). The league leader is Golden State at 98.5 possession / 48 mins. This tells you how fast the game was yesterday. Philly ranks 5th and Thunder 7th in pace. Bulls rank 22nd @ 93 possessions / 48 mins. Since Rose went down, the Bulls have averaged 90 possessions / 48 mins in the 5 games without him, as clearly their pace has slowed. I think we'll see them try the same thing today - slow down the pace, minimize the number of possessions that OKC gets, and get back on D to eliminate fast-break points which is something Westbrook is absolutely the best at generating. I would lean UNDER in this game.
