The Clippers have looked like the best team now with a 2-1series lead. They couldn't miss from the floor the other night. Redick had 31points on 11-for-14 from the floor and Rivers had 25 points on 10-for-13 fromthe floor. I can almost guarantee you that they don't put up those numbers inthis game. At halftime, it was a 7 point game before the Clippers put up 35 inthe 3rd quarter.
The Clippers shot 55.4% from the floor and 82.6% from theline. It will be hard for them to duplicate this performance and with theRockets back against the wall, I have to expect for them to leave it all on thecourt tonight. The Rockets are fortunate to be only down 2-1. They werefortunate to win Game 2 in a foul filled game.
So why are we taking Houston in this Game 4? Well, forstarters I think they know if they win this game, then the series is tied 2-2and they will be going back to home for Game 5 and can take a 3-2 lead. I thinkthey can use this psychology and hopefully as momentum. I think it's also safeto say that the Rockets have not played their best game yet, and I think theClippers are coming off their best game, so there is a good probability that wesee a reversal here.
From a value standpoint, there is plenty here getting 7.5points with a team that has won 61 games on the season. They have only been anunderdog of more than 6.5 points only 3 times all season long. The Rockets are13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points. Iwill also note that even after Friday night's cover, the Clippers are stillonly 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games.
I think we see the Rockets play their best game of theseries. Let's take all the points we can get here.

I agree with you that this is a must win for Houston. and the Clippers lost two games in LA to San Antonio. But, I think Doc will have the Clippers revved up with a perpective that this is a must win as well. In addition, by winning a game in Houston without their best player, they stole home court. Do you think that they now will passively give that back. I don't think so. I think it comes down to two teams playing at a high level. And I think the Clippers have the better team. 7 points is a lot at this point in the playoffs, but it appears that the winning team pours it on at the end (whether they are the dog or not). I think LAC will TCB today...I think Houston will rebound in game 5, and the Clippers will do everything possible to clinch in Game 6.

First I think the Clips cover the 7. They're just the better team and Houston looks outclassed so far. The one thing that gives me pause is that Harden only got 5 foul shots last game. I expect him to be a lot more aggressive today and doing so going to the line A LOT and he makes almost all of them so this is a big deal. I still believe Clips win by 10 but feel that will be close due to foul shots.
