    so tempted to bet the GSW line with Duncan, Parker and Manu out...but never ever ever count out the Spurs.

    I like the OKC line(Bulls are hapless, and off a back2back just cant keep up scoring with the likes of a Durant and Westbrook) and over for the Spurs/GSW game.

    Spurs with the backdoor cover on the $ line without the big 3. Dubs with 24 TO'S. Not ready for the big time yet

    Sorry bro, I used last year's experience vs the Heat as a lesson...And this Warriors team is playing terrible team defense...

    Im staying away from this game... While the Rockets have beat good team on the road, the Pacers are coming off a tough loss against Miami, and are keen to punishing their next victim. Unfortunately its us. This has a look of a blow out loss or a close loss...Dont see a more experienced Pacers team losing tonight. I'd love to be wrong.

    I feel ya. Trying my hardest to keep my homerism out of the equation. I do know how competitive our guys are for big games... If Pacers strength was at PG, I'd feel better as Beverley could provide some added neutralization... but George or Stephenson is going to have their way with Harden (sprained ankle - limited mobility). Howard-Hibbert is a wash.

    No worries dude. I wasn't blaming it on you I was just commenting on the game. You are spot on with the D comment and they also lack a bench outside of Barnes. Really shocked they dropped it at home and I had the line at 3 before it jumped to 7.

    nice win!!!

    1. Anyways, I really like the Rockets tonight. After getting spanked against the Pacers, the Rockets will most likely win by ten. The big front court is totally overrated as the Rockets guards will likely get their bigs in foul
    trouble...So far on back to backs, the Rockets have had wild swings. If they lose the first game big, they win the second game big. If they win the first game, they end up losing the second game. Just a trend to notice. Rockets -2.5 is a solid pick.

    ^^^ And this was my thought process before Harden was ruled out... Zero ability to generate points with Guards that cant freely attack the rim, Stay away from this game....

    Thanks and I liked the Rockets too until Harden was ruled out. Pick now but I'm going to stay away from this one even though I'm tempted to go Detroit

    Put some money on the Rockets tonight... It's too bad Cleveland failed me. Won't be the only time.

    Hoping people are betting today...The Bulls game was predictable. The Nets are just a really bad team, and even if you better the under, things wouldve been good. Same with OKC; didnt like the over bc Carmelo wasnt playing, but that didnt matter OKC scored points.

    For the remaining games...
    1. Heat is gonna roll. Dont understand why people think this is gonna be close at all...

    2. The -7.5 line for the Spurs/Rockets matchup is interesting. But im thinking that this is the Spurs revenge game from a couple of weeks ago. All that being said, if Harden is healthy, the Rockets cover. If not, expect the Spurs to win by 15 or so...oh and I like the under in this game fading the public.

    3. While everyone may jump on the GSW bandwagon, for some reason like the Clips in this game. They have been playing better team ball, while GSW relies too much on Curry. And the over would be the play.

    Good luck too all. And merry christmas

    Harden is 3-0 on Christmas Day. 4-0 on the next game after Christmas Eve. Except for the Rose-less Bulls last year all those opposing teams were scrubs.

    The Rockets have been very good in games following a bad loss.

    However, it is difficult to accept that the Spurs will allow the Rockets to sweep them at home. The Rockets are also without Bev who had some clutch plays in that last away win.
