Houston -2.5 is my play of the day.

[Deuce]

Philly is ATS 1-7 at home, 0-3 as home dog and 2-4 non-conf, plus the 2-8 after the Pistons.

[PAPSMEAR]

you'd think those statistics would mean something. but with the nba this year statistics mean shit. I've played this type of bet all year (prior to my exodus) and got ass pumped repeatedly. GL though with your play.

Papper,

4-0 ATS vs houston past 2 years, you may be right.


Coin flip is betting these days.

[rm18]

I think Houston is only good at home but Philly is not good anywhere so who knows.

[SaffaCappa]

Im with you Deuce, Houston ... we have a winning bet

[pavyracer]

This should be a very easy win.

[pattymayo]

Philly will end their losing streak tonight. Don't say I didn't warn you

[PAPSMEAR]

road favs are a cash burner

[JetsMatt85]

I have spent the last 90 minutes looking at this game and trying to figure out why houston isn't laying -4 here. Which is what i made the game.

Certainly looks like a "trap line", but nevertheless, im biting with you on it and its definitely worth a normal-sized play. Fading a team that is in a tailspin right now and has only 4 wins this year at nearly a PK is good enough to me. Houston is rested, has the day off after this to travel to toronto where i dont see them having a huge amount of motivation/vested interest in... so no letdown spot here.

Lets cash it.

[LaiLai]

They will end their losing streak. But whether is it tonight, it's for all to see. Iverson just came back. But so what.
Giving him 3 sec to aim and shoot doesn't even ensure a basket. His way past his prime. Although it's not abt 1 man game. but with or without him. sixers arent anybetter

[lakerboy]

Houston shouldnt be favored

[paco]

I have them parlayed with pacers and miami

[tnnt]

line has dropped to -2.5 so I think the play is Philadelphia.

You can't let the line sway your picks...

[JetsMatt85]

LMAO

so the 7-5 road team, who is in form and playing well.... should not be favored against the 2-10 home team, who has such little depth at guard that they had to bring AI out of retirement.

whether houston covers or not, this statement is ****ing ridiculous. if the books made houston even a PK they would get 80%+ action on that side

[boba]

uhhhhhhhhhh.

you think AI is going to help this team win? the guy should be coming off the bench not starting. i hope he shoots 0-10 tonight against a team that enjoys thinking about defense on a nightly basis as their key to victory.

you think AI is ready against a faster younger team in houston who doesn't need mcgrady or yao?

[JetsMatt85]

Are you talking to me?

I just used the AI example to show how weak philly is at the guard position, I never said hed help this team win. In fact quite the opposite.

[JaySon]

The Sixers have size down low and better big men than Houston, Im not touching this one, I can see Philly winning this one, it should be close.

[Deuce]

Don't read so much into the lines here. If it were Houston -6.5 many would still lay on H. Because it's closer you're contemplating.

But lakerboy said houston shouldnt be favored

[RobMoney215]

Under has the best value in this matchup...well actually sixers play the 1st half of games well...they dont fade until the 2nd Halfs of games....so id say UNDER for the sure..with a small lean on Sixers 1h...gL

[boba]

i agree with what you said.

[Razz_Donkey]

Houston shouldnt be favored

I had them drawn up as PK on my line estimations. I took Philly ML, we'll just have to wait and see.

this confuses me because theres a couple guys on a pretty good team called the Caveliers. Ilgauskus, Lebron, and some guy named Shak..Shacile...??? I'm not sure what the guys name is, maybe he's new, but he looks sort of big (this is complete sarcasm of course)

...anyways, Houston didnt seem to have much problem with these big guys, holding Lebron from his usual rediculous numbers, and stopping that beast from the crappy genie movie.

what makes a horrible 76's teams' big guys more trouble for houston?

not saying houston is a "the word we never speak", anything can happen, but this seems to be another stupid comment.

No need to call my comment stupid. Anyway, I didnt just say size, but I added Philly has BETTER big men which they do IMO.

[lakerboy]

But lakerboy said houston shouldnt be favored

Dont worry about Lakerboy . You cant know much about my NBA picks considering how long you have been here. Philly closed as the winner on pinny. Now move on and look for your next game.

[jaymac82980]

sorry for the "stupid" comment...

but you are still validating your comment. even if philly has BETTER big men. my point was, that the cavs big men were better than houstons, and im sure we can both agree that the cavs big men are MUCH better than philly's.

so i guess your point doesnt matter too much since the cavs better big men didnt affect the game.

[paco]

game over. Houston getting smashed. No way they come back and cover on the road

I brought up the big men for Philly because thats what I think is gonna be the difference in the game. I didnt bring up the big men in the Rockets/Cavs game because to me that wasnt gonna be the difference maker. And as we see Philly already has a double digit lead now.

[jaymac82980]

it's the 1st quarter dude. you want to rub a win in my face, at least wait til weve seen the game play more than 10 minutes.

[boba]

i agree!! kill this shit.

what a way to start. its is the nba but i'm no longer interested in watching it. if they come back, great. if not, i didn't expect them too.

[corona]

12 points is nothing in the nba. edit: 10 points at the end of the 1st. that's basically 3 possessions.

and houston's not gonna stop playing hard and just give up because they're down a bit in the 1st quarter. another team might. but the rockets will fight all night to get back in this.

[ZBOIZ]

The squarest play on the board!

What a square to bet this!
