Rockets +3.5

[Allin72]

Took then rockets here gettign the points going for 5th straight win. i think yao will continue his hot streak here and mcgrady should get enough points to help win. Any thougts on this??

mostly indifferent on the game, though i do love the first quarter under 48.5

could be a tough spot for houston here, they are 0-4 (and getting crushed in the 2nd game by an average of 11 and change) in back-to-backs this season and played to a tough OT win last night in the middle of a long road trip

i want to find something to play in this game, but cant find anything i like.. everything is going both ways,

houston is getting crushed on back to backs, but has been playing much better recently

houston scores like 80 a game or something on the back to back road, but seattles defense blows lately

not sure im comfy with any total, or side in this one.. someone talk me into something [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

The Sonics are a very young team, 3 of the 5 starters are within 3 years of joining the league. They are the type of team that will be worth putting money on for the rest of the year as they gain experience and will be better than their record shows. However, the Rockets with a healthy Tracy are 7-1. They actually should be favored to win this one over a wishy washy Sonics team. If you need to bet this game I would go with the Rockets ML as the Sonics can get hot at home and if they gel together they will win by 6+.

I think the sonics at -3.5 is a better pick. the rockets troubles with back to back games is going to be exacerbated by the fast paced style of the sonics.

thanks, i was cool at 11-11 with 5:00 to go before the 3 point contest started... both teams really used up the 24-sec clock on a lot of possessions, plus timely fouls/turnovers

i'd stay awake to see what the 2nd half line lookie like but me and the sonics have a bad late nite 2nd half history
