Traditional and rational handicapping angles would lead one to think that Houston has a major psychological advantage in this spot, but it doesn't work with the Clip show. The Clippers aren't demoralized because they are too stupid to be demoralized. They are used to choking so game 6 doesn't damage them, and they will be ready to rock on Sunday. Chris Paul leads them into a game they aren't even sweating. There isn't as much pressure on them as people make out. They are used to losing anyway, that is why they will win this one. I know it's fuked up but its the truth. The Clippers are oblivious to an advantage.

That being said, if you have a series play on the Rockets like me I would not hedge here but don't expect the Rockets to win. And remember that the NBA is kind of fixed anyway....so

Clippers ML -140.
