Home teams off a double-digit loss in Round Two have delivered the largest profits, as they are 82-51-3. (think that's since '03)

The other spot that this came up was Game 3 of Wizards and Bulls. Wiz lost by in game 2 and bulls lost by 15 game 2.

The fact that everyone is writing off the rockets (just as many did of wiz after game 2) is very telling. This line is all public perception, that's why it's clip -3 instead of houston -6 (game 2).

Rockets +3 blindly it is (cringe I know but it is sports)

Wiz lost by 16 game 2.

Harden isn't the problem. He competes. Meanwhile guys like Dwight Coward could care less about greatness and winning championships. He might chip a nail. He left LA so he wouldn't be called out .


As for tonight I wouldn't want to get in front of the freight train . Clips are on a mission to at least the finals if not becoming champs. Perfect F U to Donald Sterling winning championship first year after being laughing stock under him for 30+ years.

[ZetaPsi808]

Harden is supposed to be an MVP candidate

Even Derrick Rose is playing better than harden these playoffs

[HeDidDisToHim]

Harden is irrelevant. When his supporting cast are class clowns like Howard and marshmallow softies like Smith with zero ambition that show up to simply market themselves, smile, and receieve a paycheck... It's over folks. Harden is not good enough to do it himself.

[ZetaPsi808]

Sorry guys but when you are an MVP candidate and play like sh it Like harden has its pretty bad

No excuses for harden at all
He just can not cut it in the playoffs

How he does not score 40 points with redick guarding him is rediculous

[Mr KLC]

The big thing with Harden in this series is that he has not gotten the calls he's accustomed to getting in these last 2 games. I think he'll be at the stripe quite a bit tonight in front of the home folks.

i agree

so basically his game/strategy is based on initiating contact with the defender and forcing them to foul him
he does this more than any other all star player in the past 10 years
seems like in the playoffs this tactic is terrible come playoff time

bc in the playoffs the refs allow a more physical style of play. fouls that would be called in regular season do not get called in playoffs

what u see is harden flopping and flailing his arms all over the place, no foul call, and the result is a terrible, off balance shot

[ZetaPsi808]

this video proves my point exactly

look how stupid harden looks

[TheAntFather]

You must be the dumbest poster alive and know nothing about the NBA; or the #1 James Harden hater. Either way, everybody in the NBA flops. Get over it. Nothing to see here.

[TheAntFather]

This video proves my point exactly? Look at how stupid Blake Griffin looks here.

[Snowball]

Houston is garbage.

[TheAntFather]

Check out this Jordan flop. This has been going on for decades in the NBA.

[Vegas39]

Houston is garbage.

they got a gift drawing Dallas round one

[bryant81]

Take Clippers -3. Thank me later.

What about teams coming off back-back double-digit losses now in an elimination game? Strongly doubt the record is anywhere near as good.

[jjgold]

Clippers have no shot tonight

Lol is the 7ft Howard going to play like a loser again??

[INVEGA MAN]

Harden doesn't want the ball. his 1st shot was at the 5 min mark in the 1st half. he is not getting double teamed. he does not want the ball. did you see Curry last game. he couldn't wait for the ball Harden gets his points at garbage time. this guys so overrated. MVP's show up when its playoff time.hell, a white boy is guarding him

[KD Esq.]

I tried to find this stat with no luck. So I will not heed your strong doubts and instead follow what has been proven to work. Even if it doesn't work out this game, this strategy would still be 2-1(pending) this round.

[STAX]

I love Clippers tonight. NBA has to get Paul healthy for the showdown vrs Golden St. The Clippers/Warriors series wont be rigged at all, NBA wants this to be a classic series... Paull needs to be 100% and the rest will help him tremendously. I like Clippers ML a bunch

[ZetaPsi808]

Check out this Jordan flop. This has been going on for decades in the NBA.

so the guy with the retarded harden avatar is defending his boyfriend. what a shocker

harden flops 3x as much as any nba player

and its not even the flopping. he deliberately tries to run into the defender or shoot the ball thru the defenders arms on every play.

watch the video i posted. harden looks just as stupid as you are

[STAX]

no clue

[drfunkmaster]

rockets are garbage

[ZetaPsi808]

no clue

it might just be for certain games. the bulls are in town for game 5 today.

maybe the city wanted to avoid both games both starting at the same time to reduce traffic and parking congestion

get people to ballpark right after work. Want them eating and drinking there. Plus the think more families will bring kids if earlier

[million2one]

To answer your question, No.

The line says it all:

Game 1 in Houston LAC (+7.5)
Game 2 in Houston LAC (+7.5)
Game 5 in Houston LAC (-3)

The book is telling us who is going to win. They are begging people to take Houston.
Clips close it out tonight.

[ZetaPsi808]

i would say rockets +2.5 +3 is a good play.

[yydouble]

Hou. will play hard. Pro pride has to kick in. You're telling me the Clips are going to march in there and win a road, close out, 3rd win-in-row game, vs a very good, highly motivated playoff team. That would be impressive to say the least. Then you throw in 3 points and its hard not to take the home dog in this extremely rare and tough spot.

[broadway6]

It's crazy that the rockets were -6.5 at home in game 2 when Paul was playing and after 2 blowout road losses they are +3 at home.

I think rockets cover the closer but lose the game ml

Exactly my thoughts

Excellent point and well illustrated. There are some pretty smart people making that number and you are correct to align yourself with their thinking.

Of course the line does NOT say it all. Not even close. Situations vary. Are the Clips really 10.5 points better than they were a week ago?

[ZetaPsi808]

so the rockets just got the holy dog shyt beaten out of them 2 games in a row. like deandre and blake just ran a train on them. it was lob city all night

and the same guy with the james harden avatar is pissed off. what a homo this guy is

[ZetaPsi808]

sbr has been great the past 3 days

we have the butthurt bulls homers claiming the refs stole game 4 from them

we have the butthurt patriots homers complaining about the pats punishment

and we have fagz like anthomo trying to stand up for his boyfriend harden

cant wait to see what develops next

[gregmav1]

jj you've made "Houston HAS to win tonight" threads for all 4 previous games and they have lost 3 of them... you've taken a beating on this one... stay away from the series.

You are probably the dumbest and easily the ugliest poster on this site bar none. You post a video of harden flopping like he is unholy and a complain like a hmo bi*ch about it.

You know nothing about the NBA and it's pathetic and an embarrassment to everyone every time you post. Everyone in the NBA flops incase you don't watch basketball; which I'm guessing you don't.

Now, you attacking entire fan bases and teams; well that's your hmo fagg agenda. You are pathetic and clueless.
