    There is more pressure on the Spurs which is why the Rockets will prevail. Warriors want to beat the Spurs because they believe it will enhance their history to their team. The Spurs will have this game to worry about and the next series if they get by. In the back of their mind, the road to the Finals is harder, not easier given the fact the Warriors wiped out 2 teams in dominant numbers. The chance of beating the Warriors is the Rockets in the West because the team has nothing to lose, they already exceeded expectation from regular season.

    For all you sports bettors out there, the only line I like in today's game is first half totals. Currently a 110.5 for a buck 10 (-110). If you can buy two points for a small sip of juice, no more than buck 30 (-130). I'm very confident the first half is an under play. Don't see a high scoring half. It's going to get physical and the refs will prob favor the Spurs this game. To lose, your looking at a 58-55 half time score....Don't see it. Any objections? If so let's discuss. I'm looking to put a dime in action. Go Rox!!

    It will be extremely tough to put the Spurs in a 3-2 hole at home. If it happens, I like our chances in the series. Remember whoever is in the 3-2 hole has to win two straight to take the series. As to the Warriors, most are assuming they will sweep either Houston or SA. I don't think so. I actually think the Rockets have a chance.

    Something just tells me we win this game... weird because it's a type of confidence and assurance i haven't felt in awhile.

    Why? The line has always been between 4-5 favoring the hometeam this series.
