bettingasabusiness.com Under 193.5 Houston / LA Lakers 10:35 ET 2 Units
It's going to be another night at the office for the Houston defense tonight. Defense is how they got this far and it'll be defense that gives them a shot of the unthinkable: derailing the mighty Lakers. No, we don't think that'll happen but another thing that's not going to happen is for the Lakers to turn this series into a score fest. Yeah, there's alot of talk of how LA was embarrassed on their home court in game 1 and there's alot of speculation of how Kobe's going to "go off" tonight but remember, just as Kobe is amongst the top offensive players ever to play the game, Ron Artest is amongst the leagues best defenders. So once the pace of tonight's game is controlled by Houston, we see LA following suit and turning up their defensive intensity as well. These are the playoffs, and defense wins championships...
