How Does Portland Not Run Houston Out Of The Fukkin Gym Tonight???

[jjgold]

What am I missing here???

[Chi_archie]

i'm with you

what are we missing?

[jjgold]

Archie I wish I had 5k..would fly to Vegas in a suit and bet the game and come home after I collect

[YOUNGBUCK]

I'm goin Big on Rockets JJ

[LT Profits]

Because the NBA won't allow it.

I think Houston wins at least one game in Portland.

LT good one

Watch Houston win by 15

[agendaman]

JJ why is the line at only -3 im takin houston on ml and 3team parlay on 6.5 pt. teaser

[SharkAA]

Portland is only -3, because it can happen, that they will be underestimating Houston a bit, after a 2 road games won. It sounds silly, but it happens. Houston in a must win situation obv, although their confidence is pretty low at this point. With all that being said, I still think Trailblazers get the win. Much more mentally mature team and that's what gives them the edge over Rockets.

[KRIT]

I lean Rockets. If they are going to steal a game, it is tonight. Does Howard and Harden show up, or are they going to puss out again?

[shooterman]

If I am up some early baseball money tonight I am going to let it ride on Portland. I will be counting on Dwight Howard coming off a good scoring night to shit the bed. Portland +2225 is not a stupid bet.

[jjgold]

as of now Portland heavy for me

anymore thoughts talk to me

[crustyme]

houston and chicago both win.

[Sam Odom]

JJ , is this the REALLY BIG one ??

[JR007]

perception and reality are to different things

[crustyme]

perception and reality are to [sic]different things

this moment of zen brought to you by lakerboy.

[JR007]

I'd rather be a lakerboy, than a goatmilk, any day

[The Kraken]

Houston has to win a game? Teams don't get swept in the playoffs? Huh, guess I'll put 50% of my roll on them tonigh and 100% on them in game 4 if they lose tonight.

[crustyme]

I'd rather be a lakerboy, than a goatmilk, any day

you can be both. oh wait, u already are.

[BCC585]

I'm actually leaning the over in this game unless they actually play defense tonight

[greenhippo]

Figure we should just blindly take the other in every game this series.

[RollinDo]

as of now Portland heavy for me

Me too JJ...lost my chances last night to go 0-3.
No reason to think Blazers let up tonight.
But I simply don't get the nba.

[Sam Odom]

If this is the BIG one...

WE need a Video , JJ

Thanks for the history lesson. LOL. Only kidding.

You're welcome Portland -3 looks good, man.

[Big Bear]

Because the NBA won't allow it.

I think Houston wins at least one game in Portland.

i was almost going to tail until i saw this post.

i agree with you LT. NBA is pretty sketchy and it would be bad for tv rating if Portland takes a 3-0 series lead.

[farmhouse1]

Another moron thinking the nba "fixes" games. Bad tv ratings? How so? Both teams have been putting on a show in both games...

What am I missing here???

They are playing at a gym? Is that HS gym coach?

[ParlayininHTown]

I don't believe the Rockets have swallowed their pride and learned their lesson yet ...

Like the NBA is so concerned about TV ratings in Portland and Houston? Pretty sure this series is clean or NBA would have given a game to the Rockets. They're much more concerned with selling tickets and getting ratings in California and New York which might explain last night in Oakland or game 1 of the Nets-Raptors

i dont know man. My theory is the NBA is as fake as WWE wrestling.

[SharpAngles]

I agree with you somewhat Bear. I just don't believe the NBA is fixing every game. The only way that seems logical for them is if the rumors of NBA ties to the sports betting industry are true and they really are shaving or adding points to make the largest books the best possible profit and sharing in the loot. I have a real hard time buying that one. Having their refs influence a series to maximize big market tv time and owner profits from added games seems like good business and a lot more likely.

[jjgold]

I believe Portland is a very tough place to win

Secondly it's a must win for Houston which means there under extreme pressure

I don't see this game even being close
