Portland Houston Over 184

Prior to last game, the previous games had all gone over and the last four of those five were scored between 189-200. In all, thier past 6 games have ALL gone over.

Think this on might go under and team will shore up their defenses here after seeing a high scoring first two games and knowing each others game plans.

I'm on the under 184.5

Portland has figured out Yao (although I expect him to have a good game tonight) and Houston will not let Roy score 42. No way does Alridge (coming back home to texas) score 27 again because Scola will not get in foul trouble. Portland is an average team on the road so I don't see them scorching the nylon tonight.

Houston and the Under...

First game 189
Second game 210

Do the books assume the teams are tired at this point? I do not see the defenses improving dramatically. If anything being tired increases the chances of fast break points. This seems like an easy call. Am I missing something?

Look at the Boston series. First 2 games, both way over, easily in the 200's. Everyone thought the same for Game 3, and look what happened. This could be the same thing, Houston is not a team to score 100 every game, and I think they win this game.

Nuff' said.

Boston series, Lakers Series, Mavericks series, I think Blazers/Rockets will follow the trend

You may be right about the defenses, but I still do not see what they can do to slow the points. Brandon was firing from ourside and hitting, but others were not hitting well and they still hit 210 last game. I assume some of the other guys are going to up their percentages tonight.. hmmm itchy..
