    There's a handful of guys that don't mind the traces of fecal matter all kinds of nasties on the ball. They lick and lather their hands thoroughly for extra grip before shooting a free throw. Steve Nash and Lebron James do this.

    I was watching early games versus GSW. We need to get Bogut in foul trouble early.

    You can see what Bogut does on the floor. Must get in that paint and attack, EARLY. SET THE TONE EARLY.

    If we can get Bogut in foul trouble early, we are going to kill them in the paint with extra possessions and shut them off from the paint as well. ZBO and Gasol (who was obviously gassed at the end of that series) were slow snails that cant jump.

    Rockets were getting seriously dominated in that video. Hopefully it doesn't play out that way again.

    That's why Howard got a knee surgery. Relax.

    Dwight always has trouble against centers with length. The key is not to post up anymore.

    I am telling you right now...They will have zero answer for Josh Smith to Dwight on the 4/5 pick and roll.

    -850? wowwwwww. Vegas might as well say we are not taking bets on the Warriors. Anyone wanna bet on the Rockets? We will gladly take your money.

    I didn't say it. Vegas did.

    Not a gambler but at these odds I'm really tempted to put down a couple hundred on the rockets.

    I'm not a betting man, I know they are big underdogs but what does the 850 mean?

    Because the last several seasons matter more than the previous ones. Dwight turns the ball over 4.2 times against Bogut. That is 1.1 higher than his career average. This season Dwight is turning it over 4.5 times against Bogut. That is almost double his turnover rate this season.

    Why?

    You have to bet $850 to win a measly $100 if you want to bet on the Warriors. HCA must have a lot to do with this considering they've lost 3 games their in the regular season + playoffs.

    Risk 1 dollar to win 85 cents.

    In the case of the rockets it's risk 1 dollar to win 5 bucks if it was +500

    Pretty much a bet you have to take if you're a Rockets fan.

    Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and bet a few hundred on them? If not, shut up just like you told me. I'll even take your bet if you'd like or I can place it for you. You can PayPal or Amazon pay me the money. Plenty of people on this website can vouch for me. I'm thinking about taking the rockets for game 1 myself because I feel that +10, +10.5 points is too much to be giving in this situation.

    I can place my own bet thanks.

    What are you even doing here? Didn't you clearly pick The Clippers in 6 and become a dick towards other members on the board?

    So are you going to do it and put your money where your mouth is or are you all talk? It's only a few hundred dollars.
