    Home teams off a double-digit loss in Round Two have delivered the largest profits, as they are 82-51-3. (think that's since '03)

    The other spot that this came up was Game 3 of Wizards and Bulls. Wiz lost by in game 2 and bulls lost by 15 game 2.

    The fact that everyone is writing off the rockets (just as many did of wiz after game 2) is very telling. This line is all public perception, that's why it's clip -3 instead of houston -6 (game 2).

    Rockets +3 blindly it is (cringe I know but it is sports)

        Harden isn't the problem. He competes. Meanwhile guys like Dwight Coward could care less about greatness and winning championships. He might chip a nail. He left LA so he wouldn't be called out .


        As for tonight I wouldn't want to get in front of the freight train . Clips are on a mission to at least the finals if not becoming champs. Perfect F U to Donald Sterling winning championship first year after being laughing stock under him for 30+ years.

          Harden is supposed to be an MVP candidate

          Even Derrick Rose is playing better than harden these playoffs

            Harden is irrelevant. When his supporting cast are class clowns like Howard and marshmallow softies like Smith with zero ambition that show up to simply market themselves, smile, and receieve a paycheck... It's over folks. Harden is not good enough to do it himself.

              Sorry guys but when you are an MVP candidate and play like sh it Like harden has its pretty bad

              No excuses for harden at all
              He just can not cut it in the playoffs

              How he does not score 40 points with redick guarding him is rediculous

                The big thing with Harden in this series is that he has not gotten the calls he's accustomed to getting in these last 2 games. I think he'll be at the stripe quite a bit tonight in front of the home folks.

                  i agree

                  so basically his game/strategy is based on initiating contact with the defender and forcing them to foul him
                  he does this more than any other all star player in the past 10 years
                  seems like in the playoffs this tactic is terrible come playoff time

                  bc in the playoffs the refs allow a more physical style of play. fouls that would be called in regular season do not get called in playoffs

                  what u see is harden flopping and flailing his arms all over the place, no foul call, and the result is a terrible, off balance shot

                      You must be the dumbest poster alive and know nothing about the NBA; or the #1 James Harden hater. Either way, everybody in the NBA flops. Get over it. Nothing to see here.

                                  What about teams coming off back-back double-digit losses now in an elimination game? Strongly doubt the record is anywhere near as good.

                                      Harden doesn't want the ball. his 1st shot was at the 5 min mark in the 1st half. he is not getting double teamed. he does not want the ball. did you see Curry last game. he couldn't wait for the ball Harden gets his points at garbage time. this guys so overrated. MVP's show up when its playoff time.hell, a white boy is guarding him

                                        I tried to find this stat with no luck. So I will not heed your strong doubts and instead follow what has been proven to work. Even if it doesn't work out this game, this strategy would still be 2-1(pending) this round.

                                          I love Clippers tonight. NBA has to get Paul healthy for the showdown vrs Golden St. The Clippers/Warriors series wont be rigged at all, NBA wants this to be a classic series... Paull needs to be 100% and the rest will help him tremendously. I like Clippers ML a bunch

                                            so the guy with the retarded harden avatar is defending his boyfriend. what a shocker

                                            harden flops 3x as much as any nba player

                                            and its not even the flopping. he deliberately tries to run into the defender or shoot the ball thru the defenders arms on every play.

                                            watch the video i posted. harden looks just as stupid as you are

                                                  it might just be for certain games. the bulls are in town for game 5 today.

                                                  maybe the city wanted to avoid both games both starting at the same time to reduce traffic and parking congestion

                                                    maybe the city wanted to avoid both games both starting at the same time to reduce traffic and parking congestion
                                                    get people to ballpark right after work. Want them eating and drinking there. Plus the think more families will bring kids if earlier

                                                      To answer your question, No.

                                                      The line says it all:

                                                      Game 1 in Houston LAC (+7.5)
                                                      Game 2 in Houston LAC (+7.5)
                                                      Game 5 in Houston LAC (-3)

                                                      The book is telling us who is going to win. They are begging people to take Houston.
                                                      Clips close it out tonight.

                                                        i would say rockets +2.5 +3 is a good play.

                                                          Hou. will play hard. Pro pride has to kick in. You're telling me the Clips are going to march in there and win a road, close out, 3rd win-in-row game, vs a very good, highly motivated playoff team. That would be impressive to say the least. Then you throw in 3 points and its hard not to take the home dog in this extremely rare and tough spot.

                                                            I think rockets cover the closer but lose the game ml


                                                            Exactly my thoughts

                                                              harden flops 3x as much as any nba player

                                                              and its not even the flopping. he deliberately tries to run into the defender or shoot the ball thru the defenders arms on every play.

                                                              watch the video i posted. harden looks just as stupid as you are
                                                              You know nothing about the NBA. You look stupider than a redneck crackhead. End of story.

                                                                Of course the line does NOT say it all. Not even close. Situations vary. Are the Clips really 10.5 points better than they were a week ago?

                                                                        and we have fagz like anthomo trying to stand up for his boyfriend harden

                                                                        cant wait to see what develops next
                                                                        You are probably the dumbest and easily the ugliest poster on this site bar none. You post a video of harden flopping like he is unholy and a complain like a hmo bi*ch about it.

                                                                        You know nothing about the NBA and it's pathetic and an embarrassment to everyone every time you post. Everyone in the NBA flops incase you don't watch basketball; which I'm guessing you don't.

                                                                        Now, you attacking entire fan bases and teams; well that's your hmo fagg agenda. You are pathetic and clueless.
