00:00Houston Rockets absolutely facing a must win tonight my gosh they are almost 10 point favorites
00:06against the Los Angeles Lakers but my trust in the Rockets Carlin is very very shaky at this
00:13point I guess the line does tell the story as a sports better right like you got to be careful
00:19here because the world it feels like is going to take the Lakers but is that the right side here
00:24does Houston just get this corrected tonight I think you know this is a classic you get back home
00:30you feel a little bit better yourself you start shooting a little bit better and you get back
00:35in the series if you're the Houston Rockets you know they shot 40 percent in game two from the
00:39floor they shot 24 percent from three-point range like I don't care who you are who's on your team
00:45that's just not going to get it done you know in the playoffs and you know they did have good
00:49games
00:49out of Durant and considering he came back from you know dealing with an injury you know Smith
00:55played well you know 18 points in that game Shangun had some moments as well where you know he was
01:00a
01:00double-double you know and they got some some good minutes out of Atari Easton coming off the bench as
01:05well in that smaller kind of reduced lineup that we know that Emei Uduka likes to go to in the
01:10postseason so I do think offensively they'll figure it out and they'll be able to shoot better
01:15and and that alone should give them the opportunity to win this basketball game
01:19they to your point they have to win the basketball game the other thing is you know LeBron James is
01:24kind of one of those classic chess not not you know checkers players where he knows like all right
01:28we're up 2-0 I don't have to empty the gas tank here if it's not happening for us tonight
01:33so you know
01:34if you are looking at a prop bet I would look at whatever LeBron James's points prop and look at
01:39that
01:39seriously and say hey you know if you expect the Rockets to come out and shoot the lights on the
01:43first half
01:44I expect LeBron to kind of put it down in second gear and kind of give him the game I
01:48know no one
01:49wants to say that but that's kind of how he treats some of these playoff series he knows when he
01:53has
01:53to turn it up and he knows when he has kind of some house money to play with winning those
01:57first two
01:57games in this series he has house money to play with especially without Luka so I expect him to say
02:02like hey if we don't have it tonight I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go to the gas tank there'll
02:06be another
02:06day and we'll live to see it so you know if there's a prop bet out there I would take
02:10the LeBron
02:11under it in this one specifically
