I really didn't look at that game at all. Love ruled out, Cle on a b2b
Unfortunately I didn't get to bet OKC. I got a new phone a few days ago and I don't have my log-ins on it yet so I couldn't bet OKC but +1 w/ no Bogut/Iggy was pretty strong. Not much resistance without those guys.
The oddsmakers don't seem to be respecting Bogut's impact when GS is on the road vs good teams. I took LAC vs them on thanksgiving night when he was out and they couldn't really stop them either.
Looking way ahead it'll be tough for them to make a deep playoff run since he is NEVER healthy for any extended period of time.

There are some bias in these stats but that gives you a pretty good idea of his impact when he actually plays.

this is too much pressure but Hou -2
GS 4th in 5 nights...Hou record is a little underwhelming because Dwight missed a month, Beverly missed about 10 games and then they spent 2 weeks trying to incorporate JSmith into their starting lineup which was a disaster.
The line went from 3 to 2 because GS should be at full strength. B2B off OKC though this is a fairly tough spot
If you want an extra sweat I'd go under before over...Not too many games with 214.5 totals when both teams giveup under 100 but that is mostly gonna comedown to 3pt shooting variance.

Also if your gonna watch this game here is a great article on James Harden and how he repesents so much of what Houston is doing and the direction the game is going

I'm not betting just yet... I have some balance at 888 but I use it for poker... however I like to read your analysis and I will follow your insights from now on... hey if HC is doing it... it can only be a rational thing to do...
Chop is a homer but he is a smart guy... sometimes the heart pounds great minds into the ground @)
