    Are you kidding me? Houston only -5.5 tonight?

    New Orleans (19 wins)- 4 games left (1 home, 3 road): HOU, @Lac,@Gs, @ Hou;

    Houston -5.5 tonight against a NOH team that is fighting to keep the #3 spot in the draft? Houston fighting for a playoff spot.


    New Orleans has to lose to Houston to maintain their draft position because several other teams are nipping at their heels.

    Take Houston 1st quarter, 1st half, 3rd quarter and game for the quadruple cover.

    Hornets excel at covering these types of spreads at home, I think they lose by 2-5 tonight

    I got some at -3.5 as well but Rocket's should cover -5.5 easily.

    No way. Hornets have to be in tank mode. Game will be a blowout in the 3rd when they get the memo. This game means absolutely nothing to NOH. They have to lose this game. If not this drops them several spots for ping pong balls.

    I think they lose but keep it close. I am small on hornets +6, they don't strike me as a team in tank mode tbh, always play hard. I could be wrong though, your side certainy looks better than mine ATM. GL

    They were in solid position for the 2nd seed until they won 5 straight at home. Now they've moved to #3 and could drop to #4 with a win tonight. 1-4 is not a bad place to be but the dropoff at #5 is very significant. I think they get the memo that they need to lose 3 out of the next 4. They cannot win tonight as it would be devastating to their position. Absolutely cannot win...

    Now of course the players could care less and they will play hard for their jobs but look for some weird rotations in this half and maybe even a coaching blunder or lack of timeouts. It will be subtle but the tank is in effect.

    BTW - Rockets -1/2 second half is a great play.

    i have a wager on the rockets, however i am uterrly disgusted with their performance in this game thus far, they clearly do not want the playoffs enough.

    Rockets jacking up 3 after 3 and not hitting shit. Unreal how awful they look. Hornets doubled up on them in the 3rd. So much for the fuking trifecta. Bitches still shooting 3's. WTF, quit jacking jump shots you fuking idiots. Drive to the dam hole.

    Plus bitches missing free trhows.

    I still think the Hornets have to get the memo to tank. I thought it would happen in the 3rd but I guess they will have to do it in the 4th. This win would be a horrible loss for the Hornets tonight...

    I cant understand this game so far...Hornets playing solid and focused, while Rockets being sloppy. This is like the deciding game for Rockets and whether or not they stay in the playoff race. You'd think they would run over this team.

    Hope they pull through late in the quarter.

    I don't think so, Gordon and Co want to end the season on some positives and the Rockets have far too much pressure on them now to bring it back and win, they are done and their playoffs hopes are shattered.

    Dragic struggling at the PG position...he looks like he's struggling with every dribble. Then he goes and misses 2FT's

    At the same time the Rockets have finally found their range from down town... Now lets blow this thing and go home!!!

    Wow, Houston has missed a dozen free throws tonight. Hopefully that last miss will lead to OT. Need OT for the cover now. Unreal shit.

    Took Rockets 1Q, Hornets 3Q, and Rockets -3 1/2 for the game. Not looking good for the game here. Rockets went down the drain since Denver

    Fukkers still missing free throws. I've seen enough. Rocket players have real low basketball IQ and Hornet front office are dumb as a box of rocks. This win is brutal for the Hornets and they don't even know it. Idiots. Welcome to years of irrevelancy.

    Its still a lottery, not like there playing for the chance to get Davis guaranteed. They will only lose a few tickets if they end up 4th.

    This meaningless win drops them from 3 to 5 and now a chance of dropping to #8. Going from 4 to 5 just cost them 50% more balls and the drop from 5 to 6 as noted on the chart I posted is huge. There chances of a top 5 is basically fukked.

    Maybe they're banking on their 1st round pick from the Twolves but this isn't the NFL. Stockpiling middle of the road picks mean nothing.

    This years draft will come down to the top 4 maybe 5 players. Then there's a steep drop off. Do you want an elite player or a role player?

    Bottom line is the players and coaches have pride. Hornets have just been taken over as well, the new owner probably wants to see some good performances at home. The only team which is 100% tanking is the warriors atm

    Then the new owner is a dummy...

    There's much more teams tanking then GS. They definitely are tanking to preserve their protected pick but add Cleveland, Toronto, Sacramento and now I believe Detroit as well. I posted info in another thread on the subject.
