77-62-2 (+24.10)

1-4 last 5. Whole heap of meltdowns in there.

March never this bad for the chalk, should revert.

Streak starts here.

Houston Rockets at Toronto Raptors

The play...

Raptors ML -135 (3 to win 2.22)

Thoughts in a bit.

:cheers3:

Raps off a loss with some revenge sprinkled in. Another 'Circle the Wagons' game for this franchise vs an elite Western team.

SU numbers with a higher probability than points even though I think the Raps cover with plenty to spare. Playing the percentages.

Raps 18-6 SU vs the West this season but a less than impressive 10-14 ATS, so yeah.

Teams on winning streaks of 5+ that are dogged on the road by 2 or more points vs an opponent off a loss are 7-32 SU since the 2014 season.

Rockets were bombing from 3 vs the C's last game, last 9 games following a game where they attempted 50+ 3's they are 1-8 ATS.

Following a game where they made 20 or more 3's the Rockets are 2-9 ATS on the season and riding an 0-7 ATS streak.

Teams with a winning percentage of 70% favored at home off a loss are 307-65 SU (82.5%) post-All Star Break all-time.

Above stat is 28-3 SU (90.3%) the past 3 seasons.

Dropped the good numbers yesterday and took a loss so at the end of the day it's on the Ghost of Stern/Gambling gods but I'm feelin' frisky about this play.

Leggo Canada.

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

Keep tellin ya. Raptors FRAUD

 

[emkee]

Nick Nurse saving Kawhi for next week.

 

[Ryno14]

Rockets and Craptors killing me these last few weeks.

 

[emkee]

And I thought Casey was bad with his line-ups.

Nick Nurse is special.

 

[emkee]

Go zone, lol.

 

[emkee]

Ibaka and Gasol should be on the floor together.

 

[emkee]

Plenty of time but if Nick Nurse plays Lin extended minutes then nope.

Kawhi plays the least minutes and is the best rested player on the team. Time to take him off the tit, Nick.

 

[emkee]

Don't kill this comeback, Nick.

 

[emkee]

Ya, Lin should not be playing.

 

[pb278817]

Ya, Lin should not be playing.

He’s just awful

 

[emkee]

He's a -22 plus/minus in this game yet Nurse rides him like he doesn't have options.

 

[emkee]

This is purely bad coaching namely line-up management.

 

[emkee]

Raps with the ultimate tease.

Nurse will make sure they bow out in the 1st round. Terrible coach.

 

[emkee]

Raps become the first team in league history to erase an 18 point or more halftime deficit to lead by a bucket or more after 3 quarters and lose the game straight-up.

100% true stat.

This team takes their record breaking choking seriously.

 

[emkee]

Got some work to do.

 

[Inspekdah]

Lin’s just not a good basketball player. The loss of Wichita St PG too much to overcome

Game was lost in the first 2 mins of the 4th quarter with Lin running the offense.

Raps bench. Lin killed his peers in being the most efficient loser on the court. Go Harvard.

Anunoby: -30 in 14 minutes.

Gasol: -30 in 18 minutes.

Lin: -22 in 11 minutes.

Powell: -16 in 10 minutes.

McCaw: -15 in 10 minutes.
