Kent....take a walk bro. Scal goes 10-4 and you question him? Really? What are your motives here Kent? Just opened your account last month. Hmmmmmm. Coming into scal's thread and devaluing his record and plays? Audacity! Covers.....

Scal, what really bothers me alot is the news of Nene being out and most of us expect the line to shoot up but it has since gone down.  Thoughts on this please. Thanks.

The Rockets won't be ready to play. They just have to show up and take their whoopin'. 


Nothing to add but to simply wait for the whoopin'!

Line was overinflated to begin with. 11.5 is a gargantuan swing and there is pullback as Houston backers eat into that.

Brian and co: I disagree that in the first 6-8 minutes we are going to get a true tell on this game. In the first 6-8 minutes of a game of this magnitude, you get a feel for what the other team is doing. We may see a run and gun rockets team which is their typical brand and we may, at the same time, see a spurs team who will go down low and work the ball from side to side. Both strategies could work....where this game will be decided is in the adjustments. Dantoni is no dummy nor is pop. Let's be real with that. I expect this game to be tight all throughout and where I think this game will be won is from the role players. Im being captain obvious here but it majes sense. Can Trevor Ariza continue to light it up from the arc and can Lou Williams and Eric Gordon push the tempo placing pressure on San Antonio to defend up and down the court? San antonio has shown thwy have a hard time doing that for 48 minutes. 

For the spurs, Danny green has yet to get ultra hot even though he had a good game 4 and can Patty Mills hit open shots? Simmons became a viable option right before our eyes in the blowout of game 4 so does he come back down to earth? These questions won't get answered in the first half of the first quarter; they'll get answered late. Who other than Harden and kawhi is going to hit big shots and get to the line?im wondering when the rockets will truly expose pau gasol on the pick and roll? Im a chicagoan amd woth him a bull fir two years....lets just say hes awful guarding that. If rockets go small, who is gasol guarding? 

Very tough game to cap but as evident in this forum and in the public eye, majority are heavy on the spurs. I'm not so sure just yet who I like here. In every situation so far, aside from game 1, the expected has occurred. What if the Rockets cover or win tonite? It's hard betting against the spurs at home in a pivotal game 5 but it was hard betting against the Penguins twice in close out games against the capitals and that worked. My caps did the unexpected..... At this stage in the playoffs, nothing is for sure. Enjoy the game tonite all.

Don't i remember you said you quit posting  after you bet Toronto last week why not just bet the game without posting .

You're the typical poster who loses but needs the attention and we know how this always works out

Kent, you are only one month on covers, Scal 11 years, so go and f**k yourself. You don't give anything to this forum, so your words are meaningless.

Kid, you make me lough, I'm capping nba since 2005, watching since MJ versus Jazz... 

So I make bets by myself many years, however guys like Scal gives  a lot of interesting thought to this forum. Without guys like him, this forum is useless, because of trolls like you. You don't give anything to this forum, so shut the f**k up and appreciate others people's work.

P.S. I see you joined covers on 2017 April, so it's the fact and all other words are just your trash talk.

Not having Nene is pretty significant in my opinion. A big is gone, rotation changes, guys getting minutes that usually don't, playing on the road.

There's zero chance anything but a  slight majority are on the Spurs after last game so as s kicking and now laying 6/5.5/5. That's is why the line is dropping.

Shut up already will you! You are pathetic as numerous people have already pointed out. 

Stay hot Scal and BOL. On this one too
Histrionic personality disorder. It's sad

Money is coming in on the rockets; you are correct scal. My post was early on and as the day has progressed, the line indeed shows that.
