One fears that the Hornets can manage an average of 25 points per quarter. And if the Spurs can manage say 22 per quarter, then we may be in for a scoreline of around 100-88, which could tip the total on the side of the over. Being the deciding game of the series, the sides might both come out blazing hot in the 1H. Expect a 1H total of around 110 and a 2H total of around 80-85.
I will watch out for the 1H total. If it's above 100, then I'll quickly grab the under for the 2H.
What do you guys reckon?

I have no reason to expect a 110 1st half featuring the Spurs.... That would surprise me

I appreciate your analysis and have to agree with you. All the same, I expect the 1H to go over 91.5 and the 2H to go under that. Let's say we have 1H and 2H scores of 23-21 and 27-23, respectively. That would tip the 1H total over. In any case, I expect a 1H over and a 2H under, and the game goes NARROWLY over. I know this contradicts your prediction but I fear we might witness moments of lax defending which could take the total score to somewhere around 185-188. The thing is, when Chris Paul is getting limited scoring opportunities, the rest of the team will "step up" to maintain a scoring level that will see the Hornets post a 3-digit score. I have no doubt that the Hornets will cover the spread comfortably. The game might be realistically won in the 3Q.
To be candid, I expect a score of around 102-86. The Spurs won't get a 90 and the Hornets will SURELY go over 95. The records support this notion.
We'll keep our fingers (and toes) crossed and see what happens.

I was right on the 1H over and 2H under in the Spurs/Hornets' last game.

I think that will happen again today:
Pistons/Celtics 1H over 87
Pistons/Celtics 2H under 87
