Thanks...good luck to you as well

Well first off I really liked this game before I seen all the line movement in the last few hours.  I think the wrong team is actually favored in this game.  I know people are talking about how the Rockets don't have McGrady and Ming, but this is a tough team that took this Lakers team to 7 games last year in the playoffs.  The Rockets were counted out then because they didnt have these players either, but look what happened.  Yes, the Lakers got Artest, but the Rockets got Ariza...I would give that edge to the Lakers for sure, but it still doesnt tip the scale enough for me in this game.  Also, Kobe was feeling ill, but played last night (no surprise there) but now has to travel and play again tonight, and most likely again with Paul Gasol (who did workout yesterday).  I think that puts a lot of pressure on the other guys around Kobe to step up...can they?  Yes, they can, but I just dont expect it to be enough tonight as playing in the Toyota Center is not easy...just ask the defending champs last year.

Was going to go ML, but decided to just take the 2-3 buckets they are giving me.

They can still win at home vs the Grizz tonight and I still win my bet
