something smells in this game. it smells like a blowout
I am a laker fan and im taking Hous +12.5 for value.
The irratic Lakers need to have a great game to cover 12.5... while the consistent Rockets should be fine.
I'm not saying the lakers are not capable of a great game.. but against a good Houston defense (and i don't buy the lost of yao ming slows them down that much).. I'll take the 12.5 value points
Yao is a liability on defense....the guy tires out after 8 mins of playing, and is ALWAYS the slowest guy down the court. It really hurts that Dikembe went down though, as the Rockets don't have many big men left
I'm *still* not a believer in this Houston team on the road, especially vs a Lakers team that just got embarassed 2 nights ago....
