I'm placing a very small wager on HOU and the UNDER. I'm breaking a rule of playing against the Clippers, but teams cominng HOME from a road trip aren't doing so well.
After the 1st Q, I thought this bet was doomed. Clips played almost flawless BB, 73%, 1 turnover, 6 assists. 46 - 28. But HOU hanged in there to get the cover and Under. The line went from 10 to close at 10.5. Final Score 106 - 96. 
Thanks everyone for all the plays yesterday!
LeBron James is getting a lot of love from the media lately, after scoring 30+ points and shooting 60% or better in six straight games. Once again we're hearing comparisons to MJ, and questions as to whether or not LBJ is the "greatest ever".
I personally find such talk laughable. As good as LeBron is, when you put it
in perspective, he's a long way off from Jordan's six championships, and the
Heat are a long way off from being a dynasty. People say "can anybody beat the
Heat?" If you watched the playoffs last year, you'd already know that the
Celtics came very close, and probably should have won their series versus Miami
last year.
The Heat come into Oklahoma City today with a road record
just one game above .500. The Thunder are hard to beat at home, with a record of
23-3 at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Miami was fortunate to come away with a
win in their last game at home versus Portland. The Blazers had the lead at the
half, and twice they held leads of as many as 14 points. With Portland leading
with under two minutes to play, the Heat went on a 14-0 run in the final minutes
to close the game and win their sixth straight.
If ever the Heat were in
a let down spot, this would be it. LeBron is on top of the world, and the Heat
are media darlings, getting a lot of press, feeding their collective egos.
The Thunder should take care of business at home tonight, taking the
wind out of the sails of Miami, sending the Heat crashing back down to earth.
Any time there is an All-Star Game in the NBA I'm always looking to bet the over. There is no defense, no one wants to get hurt, and both teams just want to put on a show.
There is just too much offense
on the West squad to make me believe this game stays under, and I think there
will be good enough shooting and dunking from both teams for this one to get
over the posted total.
