I can get Houston +9 and O/U 198 now, what should I take....

Really gotten burned bad the last 2 nights all starting with the fucking Boston game on Friday and really getting fucked hard on Lakers under friday for big losses. Then took a huge loss again yesterday with Denver under and Cavs over for a moderate loss.
Needless to say I'm feeling like shit as I pissed away 70% of my playoff bankroll after an awesome start through the first round.
A lot of the great cappers posting got way earlier lines for this game.
I'm leaning towards Rockets +9 and have no fucking idea how to play the total.

Was on that under the other day as well. Nothing like 20 points in the last 2 minutes to lose an under... Regardless, I'm on it again hoping for a better fate.

yeah my confidence is totally shattered right now as a lot of well capped plays just blew up in my face on some bullshit like the Lakers under on Friday and the Denver under yesterday.
Fuck it, I'm riding with Houston +9 and Under 198. Let the stress begin, someone stated earlier, a team stepping up after losing a star is a highly positive angle. I've seen it happen many times this year where everyone loads up on one team because the other team's star is out only to have the other team cover. 9 points at home with your playoff life on the line, I'm gonna take it. I don't expect Houston to win but I expect a single digit loss, hopefully.

Houston got beat by 14 with Yao, I don't understand the logic that says they lose by less without their best player. He is awesome last game, leaves a huge hole

I agree, but teams tend to step up when they lose a star. GO back to game 2, Lakers came out on fire and dominating, built a 15 point lead. Yao goes to the bench with foul trouble, Rockets go small and guess what, that is when the the rockets came back to take a 2 point lead heading into halftime and also the pace of the game slowed the fuck down which makes me feel more confident about my udner play as well.
Game 2 first quarter wa slik e58 points but then it slowed down and the half finished at like 98.
