All this news and drama about the clippers collapse gives me laughter. I'm pretty sure sportscenter will keep saying the 90+% home teams winning the game 7. It's not like clips haven't played a game 7, they beat the defending champs Spurs for crying out loud. They're 3-0 on game 7's with Chris Paul. I believe this is a great value if you're a clips backer. As an experienced gambler, we all know that if they're talking a team down, u go pick them. I'm not saying the clips will win guaranteed but I really like my chances on this one.

10u play!
CLIPPERS -1 (-120)

I'm in Houston so I'm a little biased, but I will say that I think the overall better team is the clippers. It's not a bad bet because the whole home team has a big advantage doesn't apply as much in the playoffs when two elite teams are facing off (wouldn't call Houston elite, but pretty good). If the Clippers are going to the championship, they have to win on the road by default, combine that with the fact that they have already done it in Houston makes the bet nice.

Houston does have an absolute ton of momentum going into this game, which is a real thing in sports having played D1 college baseball myself, I know how important that is.

Hoping to see a great game and probably not betting on it. I wouldn't be surprised if either team won, but if I had a gun to my head and had to pick a team I would go with the Clippers. With that said, I'm staying away from this game because having some momentum+a couple days rest for Harden (he's sick) +small home advantage (I don't think it's as huge as everyone says) might make me regret going Clippers here. I really think you could make a case for betting either team here.

I believe the stigma of the Clippers never reaching the conference finals looms very large here. This franchise doesn't have a history of winning big games and really good teams would have closed things out, on their home court, last night. Pretty sure that I'm in the minority with this thinking but Blake Griffin is a really good player but not a great NBA star. The Clippers bench has been underwhelming especially Jamal Crawford and last night the Clippers bench was outscored 37 to 16. I think James Harden feels a little/lot slighted by that MVP thing and will be huge in game seven.

Vegas has watched the last two games just like us. They are totally comfortable giving points to the Rockets knowing full well the public will be on Houston getting points. That should tell you the play is LAC.

The only thing that scares me is.... it looks too easy.

I bought the half to -1 and hammered the clippers

After the clippers collapsed at home, I think they get beaten in Houston. Teams never come back from stuff like that too win the 7th game(Spurs in the finals vs the heat)

Public is not on Houston getting points. All over the boards on the net I see love for Clippers. A lot more people backing LAC than Hou today. And line going down from 2.5 to 2? Very strange.
