Looking for the old Rockets playing the Fakers close in La La Land. Though Houston has beaten the Spurrs and Hawks at home, can they beat a good team on the road? They say only bet a dog you think can win the game outright. Well this is the NBA, and the Fakers just got back to back spankings from the Nuggets, so Houston has a fair chance. In the meanwhile, buying up ...
Oh, a Laker cover by 1 I see. They were suppose to win by 7, not 9. And I thought a high-scoring game would favor Houston. So they were down 10 with like 5 mins left, and then cut it to 5 with like 3 mins left. From there, not one time-out or play drawn up by McHale as the Lakers were cruising. The game was getting away from them. Need to call time-out when down 8 with 2 mins left, don't you? Need to rest your guys, get them to focus, execute, win the game.
Hilarious end to the game though, with like 2 secs left Houston miraculously steals the ball and has an open look for a 3 & sure cover. Air balls the thing and with a sec left get a rebound and chance for an easy lay-up for the push ... and ... no sir re Bob. No sir
