Lakers @ Houston/team total goes OVER or UNDER?

[isiah121]

I am still not sure whether I should take Rockets & Lakers to go OVER or UNDER. But here is what I know:

• Lakers are still pissed due to the fact that Houston came to their arena and destroy them in game 1. They want to win this game badly to get back home court advantage.
• Fisher is suspended and taking his place would probably be Farmar.
• Rockets are pissed from what Lakers did in game 2, with Fisher elbowing Luis Scola in the face and Kobe elbowing Ron Artest in the throat. Scola and Artest, these guys should come out pissed in game 3.
• Yao only scored 2 points in game 2, so probably there will be a lot of expectation for him in game 3.
• Note: Rockets held the Lakers to only scoring 14 points in the 2nd quarter of game 2.

So, what do you guys think....OVER or UNDER?

im going with the under rockets play tough defense

This one may be close at the end which means deliberate fouling and lots of free throw points.
Also rockets have been hitting decent threes.
I'd reckon over but I am not touching this one, just hoping lakers win.

I'd go with the under. It's in Houston and the line is only 1, which means that Houston will have a great chance to win. If they win or get close to winning, the under will hit.

I am going with the Under. Game 3 is going to be a grind for both teams. Lakers know they need Game 3, but Houston home court gives them added confidence. My prediction is Lakers to come out the Victor by a close margin, if not...Hit LA on Game 4 hard.

My local books have the o/u at 196.5 now, up 2.5 points, looks like everone is hammering the over expecting alot of whistles to keep the game "peaceful"
