Hawks ML and Rockets ML (Game 4s)

[vyomguy]

Both will win tomorrow.

[No coincidences]

Based on what I saw down the stretch in Game 3, I'd agree on Houston.

I can't take Atlanta anymore. I just can't. If Josh Smith himself guaranteed they'd somehow win to my face, I still wouldn't trust him and then I'd tell him to kiss my ass for all of the money his chickenshit schizo team has cost me through the years.

Rockets m/l - I concur.

If vyom and sando like the Rockets, I'm getting out my hammer.

I think it's OKC or no play. Houston hasn't put a single game together. When they got close, they missed FT's and made unforced turnovers, Harden may not be a 100%, they're coming off a huge let down game and facing a 3-0 deficit in which they know they'll eventually lose. All this and OKC has the best scorer and closer in the game.

And as I mentioned to NoCo in another thread, OKC really wants to sweep the rockets and end it on their court.

OKC 3x play for me but I'll wait as I think it may be a PK by game time or even Houston favored

On one hand, I hate betting Houston. They're an incomplete, schizo team with a shitty coach. Kind of like Atlanta, ironically enough.

On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if OKC drops this game -- not because they don't care, but because they're still adjusting to life post-Westbrook, and they won't have the same kind of "let's prove ourselves/us against the world" mentality or intensity they did in the first game without him. There's a reason why that angle works so well in the NBA (backing a team in the first game without its star).

[The Kraken]

I like you NoCo, if you choose to bet Houston, please go small.

I don't ever bet big against Durant. He's my favorite player in the NBA and when I have in the past, he likes to just stick daggers in my bet ticket all night long.

[TwoWays]

I like the Clippers.

You mean never bet against OKC???????????????????????

Both will win tomorrow.

Vyom what's your response to Houston going 30/108 on 3-pt fg in the series so far, something like a 28 3-pt%, and they are a team that relies on 3's? How do you believe that will change in game 4, I'm discouraged about betting against that trend; given this evidence seems like the better option is to grab a team like the Thunder at a relatively good value (-122). Esp one led by Durant, Harden had some especially poor possessions that game, and Asik is relatively soft inside. I'd just like to know your rationale, ref influence, or game like Boston had today? I.E. KD goes cold?

law of averages.

[Jago2008]

law of averages.

I see, so good home dog value, I've been surprised by the outcome of this series I definitely thought the Rockets would have grabbed 1 game with how they competed w/ the Thunder down the stretch so far... anyway thanks.

[Speedy88]

Agreed on both.

Thunder know the series is over, they'll be content with a 1-1 split on Houston's court.

Still not sold on the Pacers on the road.

[hawley]

Who do we like in the Bulls game?

I lean Nets here, especially if Hinrich is out.

[Wulfman14]

Vyom def on the hawks now that I saw you are backing them also. Good luck.

[BBall Bet]

Both will win tomorrow.

Thanks. I hammered both, but if I may comment:

Hawks (-2): I took this one, the cover pay is higher than the moneyline.
Rockets (ML) I should have taken the +1.5 instead, because the difference is slight.
But hey, it's the exciting Rockets. The highest scoring team in the league that have time and time again came back from a huge deficit.

I pounded on your Celtics pick last time, and won.
So I hope that this will once again win, or at least go 1-1.

Good Luck to all.

[JM92]

Watch the Pacers get back on their feet and destroy the Hawks.

[oldscho0led]

Hawks is one of the teams I dont bet on. Just what Gump said, Hawks are like box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get

[SportsTerminator]

Rockets I like, but based on the line Hawks only -1.5 after a what 20 point blowout... Indiana wins the game...

[Johnnythunder]

Thinks the rockets is a good play...cant trust the hawks to win consecutive playoff games

how bout those Warriors though. they look gutless, overmatched, and outcoached. good call on that series, Denver is handing it to them.

[TheMoneyShot]

Vyom is a good guy

[amrit]

Vyom, if you had to only take one of these plays which would you take to go big on.

[Frisco]

Lol looks like everyone hates backing the Hawks

I will, Atlanta is like a big girl. Big girls need love too!!

OK so rule out the Hawks they are doomed loser has them.
But I think the Rockets win ...they had a nice year and a sweep wouldnt sit well they play hard tonight.

Dude wtf is your problem. Remove the pole from yur ass and let's make some good picks. Geeeez

Houston can't play any harder than they have the last 3 games. Don't act like they've been out there at 80%, they've been busting their asses. And they're down 3-0 still

ive tried and tried, apparently to no avail, to tell everyone how bad Houston is. Or more specifically, how outclassed they are in this series, with or without Westbrook.

Expect OKC to be the energized team tonight. They're focused and ready to close this out.

[Ballerholic]

Team Lion and Team Baller are in agreement today on Rockets ML

[TheMetsSuck]

I hate backing the hawks also.


really like the rockets tonight also

[Renegades]

I agree kracken. Whenever houston needs a play or the stakes rise....they fall apart. Missed fts, turnovers, you name it. And thats the sign of a mentally weak team. They'll be close tonight. But only close.

[GoBlue77]

I was with u on Boston yesterday and had hawks last time but I don't like these picks today...

[vancityswag]

hou/okc over?
