Snipes NBA Wednesday - Over play

Hey guys...haven't posted in a while. Been taking care of some other business and haven't had much time in betting. Anyways, one I really like for today is the Lakers and Rockets game. Yes I'm on the Lakers obviously, but that isn't my main play. I really like the over. I don't use stats or past games to pick totals, as I think they don't do much good. In my opinion it's all about what a team wants to do in a certain situation. The Lakers have mentioned a few times that they want to get out and run against the Rockets. Rockets are a great defensive team in the half court set, and even though the triangle is efficient enough to score against them, it's much harder.

Look for the Lakers to push the ball tomorrow. Last game I think the total hit 192..although that's not the most accurate due to a bunch of free throws and buckets at the end, the Lakers played piss poor, yet it nearly went over. I think the Lakers hit 110 this game, or at least over 105. Houston will probably hit 90-95. Lakers will push, score, and Houston will get lots of transition chances as well. I think Yao will probably not play 40 minutes again, so that means more full court transition. Also, Lakers can't seem to stop Brooks from penetrating and I doubt they will fix that, so the Rockets will get their share of points also.

Also, I'm on the Lakers today. I hate how the Rockets are getting 9.5 points, but I have no choice but to go with the Lakers today. They are going to just come out and spank the Rockets silly. Don't let game 1 fool you please. The Lakers just needed a wake up call; even Vegas knows the Lakers will be back as the spread is quite large.
Lakers aren't going to miss all those open shots, and Kobe won't be affected by the flu as much either. Gasol was trash last game, as was Fisher. And Lamar was just high. Nobody played a good game, yet it was close. Houston is done tomorrow, quick and easy. High scoring game and a blowout.

Although my plays aren't as big as they usually are anymore, I still like them as much. As in, if this was a month ago the over play would be a 30 banger. However, with the new car and commitments I'm takin it easy


*7 Rockets @ Lakers Over 192.5

*3 Lakers -9.5

*3 Orlando +4

*3 Orlando Under 187.5


Boston just too tired from Chicago series IMO. And the Magic are running all over the place. I also like the under as the Celtics have a stagnant offense at times, but can also stop the Magic from scoring too many points.

111-98
spot on, well pretty much. Yao did get in foul trouble and the rockets play fast without him. Only reason he stayed in the 4th was b/c of the bonus with like 7 min left. Good shit snipes!!!! positive day for both of us
