    This team plays at its competitors level so expect a switched on team

    Wow I didn't think we would be favored. Someone out there believes in our team. You were pretty spot on. It will probably be a pick em by tomorrow, or Clippers by 1. I don't know if I have the heart to bet on this one. Maybe I'll grow a pair by tomorrow.

    being at home played the part. Had the game been in LA, it would be flipped. nonetheless tomorrow's game is probably going to be a good one just like the Boston game

    I bet heavy on us as underdogs against the Celtics and was ready to do so again tomorrow night. But for some reason now that we are favoured I’m leaning towards not betting.

    If the public bets heavily on the Clippers and the spread swings to Clipps - 2.5 I would consider it. This is a tough game to bet on a either way for me. If I take the Rockets even in a pick em it would be based solely on emotion.

    Clippers are still the Clippers. We own them. Boring win. Book it. Go Rockets!

    Really? Did not know that. I can’t remember definitely but I’m pretty sure I locked it in either the night before or that morning when the money line was 2.05x

    yup. sometimes its a good or bad thing to wait just before game time depending on what side someone wants to take. obviously sometimes it doesn't matter also. it's that piece of mind that can screw someone over sometimes. but hey that's why its called gambling haha

    I’ve definitely been burned by betting too early before. Whether it’s late scratches from line ups that would have made me avoid the game or that made me miss out on much better odds. These days with so many people sitting games out it’s usually best to wait.

    Also I won big tonight. Made a big bet on Memphis moneyline (2.05x) And have a medium bet on a three game parlay of OKC, Utah and Portland moneyline (2.12x) that should pan out with Lillard back.

    Now I’m not so sure I want to risk my winnings on the Rockets tomorrow.

    If we had taken care of business against the Knicks, this game would have been for the #2 seed (unless we don't have tiebreaker against Denver).

    Obviously hope we will win, expecting us to lose to the next sub-.500 team even if we do though.

    1st quarter is important, I hope Houston can blow them, otherwise it is difficult to play. Hope they are not dreaming for defence. I think Nuggets dont want to play with Clippers and more prefer to play with Houston. They are using some stragery to choose their playoff opponent. I think Houston better get the 2nd seed, if they want the championship this year

    I suggest to start Harkinstein or Tyson for ten minutes. The remaining time are for small ball. It can enhance the rotation and the small ball players have more power and energy to run and defence. Hope MDA see this approach
