Houston - Portland in-game thread.

[Mac4Lyfe]

WTF did Yao Ming just say??? I might have understood him better if he spoke in Chinese.

[jellobiafra]

I was thinking the same thing. Huh? He don't understand those questions anyway.

[roadwarrior1]

any 2nd half thoughts?

[peeiempee]

I have rockets for HUGE at -5. If I take blazers it will just be taking my bet back and losing juice...Wish rockets will pull away and not have a repeat of game 3

[jellobiafra]

I've got the over 182 and HOU -4.5. I don't see any advantage for me unless I want to hedge. Anyone think I should hedge??

[Mac4Lyfe]

I might have to sit on my game -5 as well. Both of these teams have horrible offensive sets. I think Portland will win the 3rd quarter and Houston will win the 4th. Where they end up is anybodies guess but hopefully the Rocket's pull this one out.

[roadwarrior1]

im taking rockets -1 2nd half

[peeiempee]

I think it will go over. I just don't want bullshit to happen in the last 30 seconds like game 3 for the spread. If you hedge essentially you run a very good risk to lose juice. If that's the case, why bet it in the 1st place

[jellobiafra]

I'm feeling pretty good on both. I could find a little middle at HOU -4.5-7, but that's not worth it to me. Anyone think I should hedge that over 182? I'm pretty well invested in both of these.

[The General]

Portland second half for me tonight +1 105

[RoagBettor]

OK I took Portland +.5 3Q, Rockets -1.5 2H and over 91.5.

[jellobiafra]

Hope you win all 3 of those. Works for me.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I would hedge the over here. I think both teams are going to struggle scoring in the 2nd half. They both look like they can't get to the paint.

[PorkChop]

I like over 91.5, this games pace is a lot faster than game 1.

[peeiempee]

OK I took Portland +.5 3Q, Rockets -1.5 2H and over 91.5.

Hope it pans out and you go 3 for 3 cuz that would mean I Cash

[jellobiafra]

I'm holding. I think I've got a good enough shot at at least hitting one of these, which is good enough of a hedge in and of itself. Rooting for points and hoping more of them on the Rockets side.

[Mac4Lyfe]

OK I took Portland +.5 3Q, Rockets -1.5 2H and over 91.5.

I took Portland +0.5 3Q and Rocket's 4Q -0.5 but both for very little (1/5 Unit each)

[Portlander]

Doubling up on Portland 2nd half.. They started their late 3rd quarter turnaround rush in the late 2nd. We almost always win, when that happens.

[Rixsaw]

Houston again for 2H. I have not hit a second half ATS in the past 3 days.

[jellobiafra]

I would hedge the over here. I think both teams are going to struggle scoring in the 2nd half. They both look like they can't get to the paint.

Now you've got me 2nd guessing. I don't know. They looked out of sync on offense....but they still scored 94.

Appreciate the advice. I'm not feeling strongly either way so I'm going just stand firm.

[IGotDi$]

I aint po$ting any more wager$ on hoop 2nite. to much b.$. $o far. I just hope HOU cover$ fuk all the extra $hyt . at lea$t for me. GL every1 on the 2nd half, whatever it i$. (hopefully) ROCKET$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for my $ake

[jellobiafra]

Lets go POINTS.

[jellobiafra]

Do they offer totals on QTR lines? May need to reconsider hedging this over.

[IGotDi$]

aldridge over yao ?????????? how the hell YAO

[Rixsaw]

Do they offer totals on QTR lines? May need to reconsider hedging this over.

Depend on the book. I know the Greek does but not betjam

[Mac4Lyfe]

Depends on the book... The Greek certainly does.

[IGotDi$]

here we go with the whi$tle$ !!!! watch . I fukkn hope like hell im wrong but damn FOR REAL$$$$$$$$$

[Rixsaw]

betjam don't even offer Q3 and Q4, only 2H ATS and total

[Mac4Lyfe]

Depend on the book. I know the Greek does but not betjam

Dam, same time. I was going to say BetJam doesn't as well. Great minds think alike

[jellobiafra]

Good news. Thanks. I can still get out from under this hopefully. Unless there is a surge.

[Mac4Lyfe]

betjam don't even offer Q3 and Q4, only 2H ATS and total

They usually offer 1st quarter lines. They had 3rd quarter lines today but very uncommon. I can't remember the last time they had a 4th quarter line.

[jellobiafra]

Actually might need a surge just to avoid falling into a middle in the book's favor.

[jellobiafra]

Shoulda listened to you Mac. Fvck.

[RoagBettor]

The 2H over is dead unless there's overtime.

[Rixsaw]

Yao Ming looks tired, and the Rockets don't have another big center to give him a rest.
