Lowry triple double on overrated Rubio. Felton has his best game in a long time in a Knicks win over the Wolves last week. Bev defense > Rubio overrated defense
Winning at OKC Tuesday could be explosive. Cannot wait. Hope the Rockets are fired up and don't lay an egg.
That's why I think the Rockets should be favored (or at least even money). I want their crowd loud and on fire and I want KD, WB and the Thunder to be steaming mad. Then I want the Rockets to kick them in the rump and say "see ya in the playoffs" on the way out the door.
Roy Hibbert has only had double digit rebounding twice in his last 20 games. I see a lot of 4,5,6 rebound games.
There's absolutely no way the Rockets will be favored to win that game. Also, no way that it's going to be even money either. OKC will be about a 4 to 4.5 point favorite to win.
Perhaps my choice of words was poor: For those of us who follow the Rockets and Thunder closely, we know the Rockets are the better team right now. I'm not talking about the Vegas betting line, which is based on a prediction of how the general public will bet. Couldn't care less about that. But if I were to wager, I'd go with the Rockets since OKC will indeed be favored.
A coin flip game for sure, but the Rockets will come back down to Earth the same way OKC, Miami, and Indiana will regain their previous form. Thus, I wouldn't be surprised to see OKC win and cover that spread.
It's really too bad the Suns weren't able to get a legit center before the trade deadline. They'd definitely be a dangerous team if they had someone like Asik or Gasol. Instead they're trying to survive with Len as their starting C. Ouch
I still believe those Heat players are saving their asses for the playoff. They are playing in the Leastern Conference. They have such luxuries.
