WORD OF CAUTION for Houston backers (and under backers too)
If we see a repeat of what happened in Lakers/Houston game 3, the Rockets +9 and the under 197 bets will almost surely be cooked.
Recall that with the score 97-87 and 1:17 remaining the Rockets started intentionally fouling. The Rockets proceeded to give the Lakers 16 free throws in the last 1:17 of which the Lakers made 11. (That includes intentionally fouling down 13 with 14 seconds left!) During that period the Rockets scored 7 points. It killed the under (which looked pretty good until then) and it killed any chance the Rockets had of covering too.
If the Rockets do this again, the Rockets +9 and the under 197 bets won't have a chance, imho.
Any thoughts on this?
