Rockets- to me it's simple... the Heat are getting respect on the line for a couple reasons. First, they are off a blown lead loss to the Hawks, & with Wade back they're bound to win (according to perception) eventually. They haven't won at home this season, they're due. Secondly, the Rockets have lost 5 straight games. The fact of the matter is I would have been playing this at-6, because the Rockets are that much better of a team. Let's recap the Rockets losses...
Memphis- 2nd loss of the season, & it came 8 games in. Memphis shot well & won. These things happen.
Lakers- Houston loses McGrady 19 minutes in. Without Tracy, the Lakers are able to double Yao easier & he doesn't respond well. The Rockets shoot an abysmal 35% & lose by 3.
@SA- No T-Mac, plus the Rockets get the privilege of facing the Spurs off a loss. Houston plays well, but in the end it's a 6 pt loss.
Suns- No T-Mac once again, & this time they get to face the Suns off a b2b close game vs. the Spurs. Phx shoots 62% from the field, 53% 3pters. You don't beat anyone when they shoot that well, period. 10 pt loss.
Mavs- The Rockets get T-Mac back, & lead the whole game. That is until Dallas outscores them 38-20 in the fourth.
I'm not making excuses, but to me it looks like a string of bad situations paired with a key injury. In contrast, the Heat have looked horrible the whole season, & even with Wade back haven't looked good. IMO Wade was rushed back too soon, & is not 100%. In his last game vs. the Hawks, he was just 4-12 from the field. 6 of his 14 pts came from the ft line..... The Heat have 2 wins- they beat the Knicks & the Vince-less Nets. Bottom line they can't score. I have a hard time seeing them even scoring enough to have a chance at beating the Rockets. IMO something like a 98-84 final.
Still looking into a couple totals/1stq plays, but I don't want to mess this play up with marginal ****, so it may be a smaller card. :thumbs:
