Cavs @ Rocks - early thoughts?

LVSC's original line was Cavs -3 and it was moved down to Cavs -1 and it's now at Cavs -2. That's not good line movement for Cavs backers. Houston has only been a home dog once this year (against the Lakers) and they failed to cover in that game. The Rockets didn't have McGrady or Artest in that game.

This is a tough call. The Rockets have only lost 6 times at home this year, it's hard to bet against that.

love the cavs but I doubt I play it...

closer to game time I'll decide after all of the line movements (I'll take Houston at +5)

Should be a decent game, thank god for TNT Thursday.

I got this from the ESPN board, big time stats, imho:

This will be tough for the Cavs to win--the Rockets are 10-3 at home against +.500 teams and the Cavs are 4-6 on the road against +.500 teams. And the Rockets are playing even better now that T-mac is out of the lineup...

I took the cavs -1.5 last night. sounds like a mistake now reading all this.

The 5 game win streak that the rockets has is all against sub par 500 teams. Only team that has a decent record is Dallas

zboiz, houston is 22-6 at home, and a dog. thats awesome value. you have to remember even the best road teams usually only win slightly more than half their games, and even the worst home teams usually win more than half of theirs.
never forget those rules.

I bought a few pts here, Rocks +4.5. Good luck guys. Get some beer and some weeds ready for TNT tonight. Win or lose there is always booze. My old lady promised me a blow job when I get out of work. Nothing like a B-J before B-ball.

i would highly recommend rockets ml. at +150 at home, 4th best home team in the nba, you cannot beat that
though i do think its gonna be a 4-5 pt game at most
