Any Value on Rockets ML??

Ok.. So longshot but here's why I like it...

Rockets undefeated w/o Yao vs. Lakers--speed up game = success and we saw this on Sunday but w/ the crowd behind them

Lakers will be motivated but they were in Game 2 and Rockets were in the game

Dont understand series line is now +1200 and Game 5 is +900; however, no way Rockets win series from down 3-2 I wouldn't think so this is it---


Any thoughts or supporters?

Well Im going to play it because I think there is huge value

I think Scola has a big game; Artest and Brooks combine for 55-60, and Wafer and the rest pick up the slack to hold on


Rockets ML +900--obviously on the spread +12 as a hedge as well

Good Luck!!!

I think it's worth a shot as long as the Rockets can withstand a fired-up revenge seeking Lakers in the 1st quarter. If they can hang around within 10 by the half, anything can happen.
