Hardest game of this series tonight from a capping standpoint but hella-intriguing.
Intangible central in effect. A must-watch, imo.
Historical numbers say SA but the Rox are throwing some serious wrinkles at it.
Remembering the Spurs blew a big Game 5 at home last season vs OKC.
Rockets going ultra-small with the loss of Nene. Mike D gonna start EG at the #4.
That means Jimmy will again have to guard LA and/or Pau more often than not.
It actually kinda worked in Game 4 during the 2nd half, not sure here though over 4 quarters.
Have a lean but will sit on the line and wait until closer to tip...

Thanks KJ.
There's some heavy biscuits on the Rox ML tonight, maybe a sign - maybe not.
If Houston scores 100+ they cover and probably win as is the narrative of this series.
Gotta have either Crapela or Ryno on the floor at all times, let's see how Mike D plays it.
Crazy series.

Again, expecting a very competitive game and much like last night this is the Wizards' Game 7 all things considered.
Rolling with the 'better' team with the momentum, even though the historical 'numbers' say I've got a high chance of taking the 'L'.
This is the series right here for Washington, would not want to piss around with a Game 7 in Boston with all the IT narrative.

Getting on it early, has the possibility of dropping based on the Kawhi news but even if he plays this is a 10+ win for Houston.
Contemplated going big but I'll sit on those units until the next round.
adding...
San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets
The play...
Rockets -7 (2 units)

agree
with or without Kawhi, pretty sure this is going 7

For sure Wiz.
He was walking around after the game apparently and said himself that he'll play.
But kid was on the bench in probably the most important 5 minutes of the Spurs season last night.
I find it hard to see him playing and if he does I expect it to be very limited having a home Game 7 up your sleeve.
Seeing Jimmy getting all the blame for last night's loss being dragged through the talking heads.
Rightfully so to a certain extent.
Rox missed so many open looks last night, half the reason why Game 5 was so close and we all know those looks fall in friendly confines.
Beard balls as does the Rox bench in Game 6
And we know old man Manu ain't putting in another performance like that especially on the damn road.
Teams off OT losses in the playoffs ball hard next game as well for whatever reason.

Kawhi gonna play.
Believe Pops will 'decoy' him and monitor his minutes, any big lead by the Rox and he'll throw him on the bench.
Bad sprains worse 1-2 days later. If it wasn't a bad sprain he'd have played in OT the other day.
Key here is the Rockets bench though and hitting those open trifectas.
Houston can only win blowouts.
Balki and Lionel Ritchie aren't repeating their amazing feats from Game 5. LA is still a pussy.
And I'm not expecting a hobbled Kawhi to be his usual self obviously.
Like where I stand, spread good anywhere between -5 and -8.
Big play brewing for tomorrow.

Yep, surprised he didn't announce it 5 mins before tip.
Line currently at 8.5 and will probably close at 9.

Capped a team showing up and they didn't.
Should have taken the psychological aspect into consideration a little more given who I was dealing with, being Jimmy, Mike D and the gang.
Same applied with yesterday's Wiz play.
Live and learn, either way needed a few sacrifice offerings to the gambling gods before the next round.
Couldn't go in too hot.
Hopefully right the ship tomorrow night and be done with this Round.

Rule of thumb is to go with the team up 3 games, ignored that last night and got what I deserved albeit under odd circumstances.
Gonna roll with it here and martingale the ass off Game 7 should it shit the bed tonight.
C's wore black to the game, could be good or bad.
