NUGGETS to COVER Tonight----

I follow Houston pretty closely---

Granted all the STATS and HISTORY favors HOUSTON in this SPOT--

What would you put your MONEY on-- A good ALLEGED SPOT or the BETTER TEAM--

HOUSTON has NO DEFENSE-- They have no Inside DEPTH also- SCOLA got 44 POINTS last night, I expect him to have a Bad game or average game at best--

Houston has NO BIGS and NO TEAM defense--

The last good team Houston played was ORLANDO and they beat them 110-92

Put it this way if HOUSTON is winning by 10 in this game I still give them little chance to WIN this game--

Aaron Brooks is going to get ABUSED by BILLUPS--
MELO is going to score a lot on HOUSTON-

NENE and BIRDMAN are going to DOMINATE SCOLA, HAYES and the BENCH players--

Yeah Houston is at HOME, they shoot a lot of JUMPERS--

BUT they will not beat any TEAM with a GOOD inside presence who DRIVES to the HOOP a lot--


The KEY IMO is SCOLA- He wont have a 20+ point game and DENVER if they ATTACK the rim will score all day on HOUSTON-

Watching Aaron Brooks and Kevin MARTIN defend is SCARY, they Defend like they are playing REC BALL at the local GYM--

I see little chance that DENVER does not get over 115 points tonight-

HOUSTON is okay but has a TENDENCY if they play a good team to GET BLOWN OUT because they have no SIZE at all-

Even New Jersey put up over 100 points on them- Sac beat them in Houston last week-- This is a really bad team when they play a team with good post players--

I can see a GOOD team scoring over 130 Points on HOUSTON this season-- UTAH put up 133 on them a few weeks ago--

DENVER is scoring well, and they WONT lose to this team- Houston would have to SHOOT LIGHTS out for the whole game-

The only way Houston can win is if DENVER mails this game in-

I dont see it, Houston vs a good team can look like a CBA team in truth--
I think Denver will show some maturity and win tonight as their recent 8-2 stretch with wins on the road means they are HUNGRY for the 2nd SPOT in the playoffs-- DENVER is serious about winning the TITLE this year they will need HOME COURT vs DALLAS and if they get it they should be good--

Lets nail this one--

  "Houston has no defense"

See: Opponent.

There are very few teams with this starting front court of a guy 6'6 playing Centre and SCOLA who is listed at 6'10 but he is more of a SMART intelligent defender--

Scola is good but he is not a 20+ scorer every game---

Rockets have no team defense--

last year they had YAO, ARtest at least hounding people and LANDRY tough physical play---

i am telling everyone right now SOME team will eclipse 130 On houston this season--

They HAVE NO DEFENSE.

I was already on the nuggets last night

The Nuggs give up more ppg than the Rockets.  I know there's more to it than just looking at ppg, but the point is, DEFENSE should not be the opponent argument in taking the Nuggets in a wager.

What would you put your MONEY on-- A good ALLEGED SPOT or the BETTER TEAM--

For all you young kids out there learning and trying to become better handicappers I want to make something very clear.

Gambling is about SPOTS, not who the better team is.  Remember this and you will instantly have a leg up on most gamblers.   Doesn't mean you won't win tonight though...

this is the nba fellas... lets hope the refs didn't go big on houston today 

I put my money on whoever will cover the spread on that particular night . The better team doesnt always =

GL tonight

Also don't think this is a bad spot for the Nuggets.  They aren't on a back to back.  They are on the last game of a road trip playing very good basketball.  Not sure why this is a good spot for the Rockets?  True Rockets have won 3 out of four games.  Those wins came against Washington, New Jersey, and Minnesota.  Three of the worst teams in the league not really that impressive.

Hopefully, we'll be a little lucky ... and fight for the last spot."  Houston wants this game more.   So because Scola was quoted saying they would like to win games to make a push at the playoffs means Rockets will win the game?  Interesting.  Not sure why he didn't make these statements earlier in the season they would be undefeated with this logic.

LMAOOOO

SAMMY, YOU CHALLENGE VANZACK & I, WE BOTH ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE THEN YOU DIDNT COME BACK TO THIS THREAD RIGHT HERE

ARE YOU A box?  LET'S DO THIS

This is 1 of 2 featured NBA games on ESPN Streak for $$$.

When they do this the HOME TEAM wins outright most of the time.

HOUSTON +2.5

LA CLIPPERS -2.5

Thats is such false information.  Im not sure why you would tell people that.  I play that game quite frequently and thats hardly the case.  

So hard to find good information on this site, only a handful of people worth reading.

What would you put your MONEY on-- A good ALLEGED SPOT or the BETTER TEAM--

 

I will take spots over a good team any time if that spot means the not-as-good team should cover the spread or win straight-up..

I play this EVERYDAY, they don't put easy games for just anyone to win. Whenever they put up a matchup and it looks like the easy winner it's NOT!!!! Today Denver record 45-21 against Houston 33-31 with no pointspread 97% are betting Denver. NO 32 -35 against LAC 25-42 with no pointspread 90% on NO.

Lets see who wins. I should have also not said it's just the home team because it can be any "obvious" team.

I took Houston & LAC

lol denver down 14

houston playing ball today.
