    I agree. Both teams are MUCH more improved on offense than they have been in recent years. I actually think the score tonight will be around 105-97, Rox.

    Thanks for the heads up. +8 is just ridiculous. I just placed my bet. (Mine was +7.5)

    yeah... but if you looked at the Cavs losses.. most of them were against good defensive teams. Plus since the Cavs are undefeated at home and rockets play good on the road, it smells of a trap game for them.

    Yea, make that post at the half when the game is tied 47-47. You can go to hell with your sarcasm.

    The fact is Cleveland fans got paid, Rockets fans didn't.

    And DaDakota was right, too bad CCR.

    If Rockets got that freaking defensive rebound it would have been 7 points down with the ball.. they score/miss, cavs dribble out the clock.

    Instead Rockets are unable to secure the ball and Cavs get it back.

    There we go, I lost $200. :mad:

    Yup.

    Every time you see a line that doesn't make sense, by the time you're out of your paycheck, you realize maybe it did.

    The Rockets played pretty bad, but Yao Ming 10 minutes in 3 quarters.

    Makes you wonder... if re...fs... had anyth... ing to do ....with ... it.

    Suspicious calls. Check.

    Only time Rockets had a run was the back to back 3s... and refs can't do anything about those.

    I told you, never bet against the refs. :rolleyes:

    If Rockets had got the rebounds, there would have be some other whistle blown to make the difference to exactly 9 points. :mad:

    I think the key was the refs. They put Yao on bench till the 4th Q!

    Yuck. personnel, coaching styles, and other variables actually matter, contrary to whatever voodoo math you might believe in.
