What I like most about this pick is they won't allow it on the streak survivor. Tells you a lot

I see Rockets team total @ 114.5. Over booked. Bol Scal from a Rockets homer.

rockets went from -6.5 to -6 with a reverse line movement. is that a cause for concern?

Agree that Howard leaving is going to make them a much better offensive team, but man oh man will they be horrific on D.


They were horrific with him last year, Howard lost some of his athletic abilities over the past couple years as his body has deteriorated. His has been beat up, NBA refs do not know how to legislated big men. I seen it with Yao and Shaq as well. Players no longer fear Howard in the paint, you will see it Atlanta this year. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Howard constant drama follows him their as well.

Rockets are a High Percentage Public play and instead of moving the line from -6.5 to -7.0, the line moved to -6.0. Indicating that books might be over leverage do to larger amounts of money coming in on the Lakers vs. the volume on Rockets wagers. Therefore, books maybe over leverage forcing books to move the line in reverse.

First it's the fact that this is an ESPN game that the Rockets should be faded.

Now it's ultra-late line movement.

Be a man and post your Lakers ticket if you are going to run you mouth like this. If you don't have a Lakers ticket, then anything you say isn't credible, and you are not qualified to ramble on like this in all my threads.

If you post a Lakers ticket you are free to say anything you want.

scal...good luck man.

i'm a lakers fan and while i'm excited about our young team, we don't have the shooting to keep up with houston.

in the regular season high scoring teams usually do well ATS. 

also take a look at Harden's points prop... 5dimes has over 29.5

I punch the Rockets at -6.5 last night, even before I came across this thread. The public play makes me somewhat nervous, I usually do not bet on the hometown team, but I couldn't resist for many of the reasons stated. Plus, Im just curious to see how this guys open the season, last year the Rockets started out flat from the begining and hung with them throughout the whole season. Alot that could be attributed to locker room issues that have since been resolved.

Right, that's why I am backing Purdue this week which has to be one of the most non-square teams in the history of modern day college football. Nice try though.

I mean, when Houston covers, please come back and say "Square Play. Who cares if it won!"

Don't worry about it being a public play. Bama is covering MONSTER spreads and is the most bet team in college football by squares.

If the game is capped correctly, squares don't matter. Square/Sharp analysis is used for SHORTCUT CAPPING only (which is more about action then it is about winning).


Dub- Good to hear from a Laker back fading his team at home getting a chunk of spread.

 Easy NoFun
