    I can't get my head around the Clippers line -10.
    I have no doubt Houston stands a very small chance at a SU win here.

    I know 10 points is nothing when playing a team with no defensive identity.

    My question isn't about Houston but more about LAC.

    Won't they mail this in and rest the starters in the 4Th with baby brother on deck tomorrow.

    They are rested but it is first game back after a long road trip.


    I am just baffled at -10 basically the books are admitting LAC ML is as good as gold.

    Anyone have the stones to take the points here?

      Clips have blowout potential, while I doubt they cover there's no way I'm touching this game. Maybe a live bet who knows

          With this logic... shouldnt we all hop on clips -10? It may be scary but if we are on the side of the books then won't we win in long run?

            Definite potential for a blowout. Harden out and, even if Vinny does decide to rest his top guys more than normal, Clippers bench can come in and get the job done. L.A. or nothing for me.

                  Now this might make too much sense but why not go Clips 1st half -6? I'm on it for 3 units lol

                    Last time a clippers game went over is when Blake Griffin looked liked this

                        Insight from a great capper...NOT MY INSIGHT - JUST SHARING

                        Here's the situation:

                        The refs assigned to this game are great UNDER bettors. Derek Richardson will keep the Rockets in the game. I like the refs assigned.

                        Now, over the last seven years or so, I have always bet on Clippers first game back after a long road trip. Usually, seven or more games. I don't recall ever losing, maybe once. It is ridiculous, downright an insult, to lay almost 11 points against a good team like the Rockets.

                        Rockets are not rested, I'm aware of that. But, these guys are a machine right now, besides, this is the last game before the all star break. Clipps, however, have to contend with a look ahead game to the Lakers (of which I will be looking heavy at the under).

                        I think this is a great spot for Clipps to be uninterested. Put it this way, if I send you out on a two week road trip for work, how do you feel first day back on the job? Not fresh.

                        I capped this at about 4 to 7 for clippers. I think Rockets have a chance at the upset, but I wouldn't be surprised if Clippers win by seven. They're definately not covering the 10 though.

                        And for those of you wondering on Harden's status....How many times has a team covered without it's star? Many. Why? Because the other team is not interested....I don't think Clipps are interested in this game tonight...

                        Good Luck....

                          The Clippers 'identity' revolves around transition baskets and fast break points - the whole "lob city" nonsense. A team like the Rockets who turn the ball over and shoot early before everyone's in position is the kind of team the Clippers typically do well against. Take Harden out of the equation and this has the potential to be a blowout, but I kind of like the under here a little more with the Rockets on a B2B and the Clippers coming off a long road trip.

                          Good luck either way innovation.

                            If the refs are gonna keep them in the game doesn't that indicate a close game with the clock stopping and a probable OVER?
                            I am confused about post #12.

                              I don't think they will mail anything in just after losing 6 of 9.

                                I had Houston last night when it appeared to be a revenge game for GSW. I bet dogs that's what I like to do. Knock yourself out if you think throwing money on Rockets ML tonight is a good bet. I say less then 10% chance you see anything back.

                                  The best bet is HOUSTON / CLIPPERS OVER 208

                                                            Hey... will Seaweed be bringing over any SBR points 'long with the chicken soup?

                                                            If so... I'll be dropping by too.

                                                              Here's the situation:

                                                              The refs assigned to this game are great UNDER bettors. Derek Richardson will keep the Rockets in the game. I like the refs assigned.

                                                              Now, over the last seven years or so, I have always bet on Clippers first game back after a long road trip. Usually, seven or more games. I don't recall ever losing, maybe once. It is ridiculous, downright an insult, to lay almost 11 points against a good team like the Rockets.

                                                              Rockets are not rested, I'm aware of that. But, these guys are a machine right now, besides, this is the last game before the all star break. Clipps, however, have to contend with a look ahead game to the Lakers (of which I will be looking heavy at the under).

                                                              I think this is a great spot for Clipps to be uninterested. Put it this way, if I send you out on a two week road trip for work, how do you feel first day back on the job? Not fresh.

                                                              I capped this at about 4 to 7 for clippers. I think Rockets have a chance at the upset, but I wouldn't be surprised if Clippers win by seven. They're definately not covering the 10 though.

                                                              And for those of you wondering on Harden's status....How many times has a team covered without it's star? Many. Why? Because the other team is not interested....I don't think Clipps are interested in this game tonight...

                                                              Good Luck....
                                                              Good stuff here. You should post more. But it should probably be in the think tank. That's where all the real advanced systems are posted.

                                                              Also if you don't mind, could you give us a winner in the okc/Mia game tonight, with another solid write backing up your pick? I'd like to tail.
