    So Everyone Loves the Rockets Tonight Huh...

    The ratio of people on this website betting on Houston tonight over GS is about 10:1. Very interesting. Of course, no one has provided any insight into this pick, but it's certainly quite popular.

    I bought out because the Rockets blow and ilose is so adamant but gave 5 incredibly good reasons...

    1, 2, 3) M. Ayotte, S. Foster, T. Washington your zebras for the evening

    4) Houston being doubted by everyone -- a classic sports cliche that the underdog delivers when he is doubted most -- all you need to do is go here to see how Rockets fans feel about the team www.thedreamshake.com

    5) 80/20 vegas action -- lifetime in the NBA playoffs just taking any team against 80% spread action is 20+ units (according to sportsinsights, sdql and other action crunching sites)

    Show that 10:1 action of which you speak because I see pretty even chirping around here

    Since 2005, home teams receiving less than 40% of spread bets have gone 125-102 ATS (55.1%) during the NBA Playoffs.

    I agree that the Refs keep it close and put Houston on the line all night.But -6 is a bit much on the road and ML +175 isn't enough. No play for me Here but Betting against the warriors in any situation isn't a smart move.
