    Rockets +5.5

    Assuming they play like they did in the 2nd half vs. Utah, this is a play.

    Can I hear some analysis'?

    HOU with the +5 seems like the play here. My only hesitation is that D Howard being new to Houston adds an element of unpredictability (refer to MIA Heat 3 years ago). So far HOU is killing it but I'd feel a lot more comfortable it were 15 games into the season. Things are still just getting setup.

    Have a feeling the Clips will have a hard time matching up with Howard...

    rockets have edge in paint with howard and asik, no doubt. but their offense has been inconsistent, very inconsistent. clippers are first team houston has faced with terrific scoring on perimeter. if they fall behind, i don't think they can make up ground.

    Play it safe, take over the 207.5. Clippers are avering 113 PPG, and houston is around 106. This should be a track meet.

    I'm leaning Clippers actually, but I have been the worst defense in the league, and even though that's mostly because they have just been giving offensive clinics (they are the best offensive team in the league), they'll need to play good defense to win tonight. They have more depth, Jordan and Griffin have done good jobs on Howard in the past and I like the idea of Dudley and Barnes guarding Harden. My only problem is foul trouble with Jordan and Griffin... this year they only have Ryan Hollins as a guy to throw out there and rebound/block shots and take some cheap fouls. While BJ Mullens is a huge offensive addition he sucks in defense and tough guy work in comparison to Turiaf. I'll wait it out but the Clippers really seem like they are on a mission here and this would be another big statement after GS last week.

    You're all on point with this one. Small play on the over for me.

    Rockets with road wins over a shit Utah team, a decent Dallas team, and beat the worst Charlotte team

    Big test for Houston. Lean Clips ML if anything

    Can't wait to see the Jordan vs. Howard FT shooting contest in the 4th quarter.

    hope you stayed off rockets, pal.

    cp3 is all world for the clippers. funny though, as good as clips looked, they are too dependent on cp3 for everything. i don't see that team winning a championship as constructed.
