    4 Units - Take # 973 Houston (-130) over LA Angels *7:10 EST
    In Mexico here, Houston will have a strong fan base and with Wade Miley on the hill and needing to break a small slide, I like him up against Trevor Cahill who has been deplorable in his last 3 starts, 9.49 ERA and a 2.02 WHIP up against a strong batting rotation for a motivated Astro's team here.
    Like the set up on the mound mis-match as Miley has a 3.06 ERA his last 3 and the team is 4-2 in his starts this year although his win / loss does not reflect that, I think the bats of Houston have the run support up against a struggling Cahill.
    Angels just 1-6 their last 7 games against left handed starters. Also Houston bullpen has a 1.98 ERA their last 5 games, Angels bullpen 5.11 ERA last 5. Hard to think Houston blows this one, even late. Weather could be rainy in Monterey Mexico today, threat all weekend.

    2 Units - #958 Milwaukee (-110) over NY Mets *7:10 EST
    Milwaukee is 5-3 in their last eight games and while that is hardly fantastic, they have 28 hits in their last three games which means the offense is starting to churn. Look for the Brewers next victim to be Zack Wheeler (2-2, 5.05 ERA) who remains as inconsistent as ever. Wheeler faces Gio Gonzalez who is 15-6 with a 2.85 ERA in 27 starts against the Mets, whom he's faced and defeated more than any opponent. Let's take the Crew who are 25-9 after a game with a combined score of four runs or less.

    3 Units - Take #963 LA Dodgers (-120) over San Diego *8:40 EST
    I thought last night's game would be tight and it was with the Dodgers winning 4-3. The Padres truly hate the Dodgers, but L.A. treats them like a little cousin and largely dismisses them. For all of San Diego's feelings, the results do not translate on to the field where it matters. Padres starter Joe Lucchesi is up and down as his 4.94 ERA suggests, but against Dodgers Blue, all he sees is trouble at 0-3 with an 8.52 ERA. With San Diego 15-37 as a home underdog of +100 or higher since last year and 2-9 is home night games this season, it's L.A. all the way.

                        (589) Golden State Warriors at (590) Houston Rockets

                        The thought that yesterday's "Death Lineup" in Golden State was a term that had been overused and was a variable of the past for the Warriors was and variable that gave the Houston Rockets issues in a head-to-head affair against the Warriors. Thing is, that old term, and scheme, is alive and well in 2019.,

                        For the casual NBA'er, those who watch Thursday night NBA on TNT or wait until the postseason to catch-up on the season events, the "death lineup." was first introduced by Kerr and company decided that his guys were not going to be compared or placed in the same container with a west coast baller that were called "Showtime" under the leadership of, at the time, the biggest and tallest point guard in the history of the league, Magic Johnson.



                        Kerr not only wanted five players that could score -- mark it more as dribble and score -- but a squad that could present a high level of pressure defense to opponents that no team in the history of the game had executed, combined, mind you.



                        It began with the scoring piece of Stephen Curry which was in 2009. In truth it took four-years, four drafts, for Kerr to construct what are the current-Warriors. Again beginning in the first round of the 2009 draft with the seventh overall pick -- Curry out of Davidson. The 2010 draft presented what was expected to be a key piece in Ekpe Udoh who is now with the Utah Jazz. Klay Thompson arrived on the scene in 2011 followed by what might be the most significant player in Kerr's plan.. a versatile NBA player that was versatile enough to play inside, outside, shoot, rebound and defend and do so with an attitude and arrogance.... he arrived via Michigan State in 2012... that player being over-the-top Draymond Green.



                        Green is and would have been too much for most Association coaches to handle but not Kerr. The best way to describe Green's career is not in statistical terms.. but in a picture of the player and his results. The picture of Green would be (in one sentence and poorly painted) an arrogant hoop Diva that challenges his teammates, older and younger, with fits of raging and screaming conversations, addicted to technical fouls and league suspensions that plays without fear of being injured and is lazy and/or uncaring with his social media responsibilities.. Oh yeah (make that two sentences) and a player that will and has done whatever it takes to win... something Green has contributed to Golden State and accomplished on not just talent but with a rare glaring and even a bit of delusional arrogance.



                        This series has seen, more than at any point during the 2018-19 regular season, the return of the "death lineup" and the result have the Warriors up 2-0 over the Rockets despite missing that something. That "X" that marks the spot and the swagger that be it the same group of guys that the last pair of DubNation squads had that this one doesn't, or seems not to own. In defense of this current group the Game 2 victory presented evidence that that Curry and company have been holding out. Waiting for the right time, if you will, to expend precious energy that this team has bottle. And the term "bottled" is used tightly... because it isn't easy to execute or produce. This Golden State group, give and take a player or two, has been playing basketball year round for far too long. Especially using the God given talent and limited heart beats it takes to play at the level the team did, in this day and age of media coverage, and win two consecutive world championships.



                        This Warriors team, in not just my opinion, but in what they have showed beginning at the end of Game 1 of the current series with the Roks and throughout Game 2, which wasn't as close as the 115-109 victory -- was the return of the "death lineup" and especially Green.



                        Please don't let anyone tell you, especially coach Kerr, that his rebranding of the "death lineup" to the "Hamptons 5" nickname this season - due to the addition of De Cousins - is alive and in place. De is injured and the Hampton 5 were never officially in copy-write status, hence the accurate and exciting return of the "death lineup" leatherheads.



                        Etched in stone I will, after tonight, staking claim to the fact, not my opinion or belief, that the Curry-Durant-Thompson-Green-Iguodala lineup will prove to be most difficult combination for the Rockets to get beyond... even on their home floor... and essentially not only offer eye-candy of such but statistical evidence when the final horn has sounded.



                        Green, bar any season, be it college or pro, has more energy and stamina at this juncture of the season than at any point in his hoop career. He is Harden's fricking nightmare.. his kryptonite.. especially when he is as energetic as he is on are the freshest looking legs of any NBA grinder I can remember watching in any May... not just a lower case any but ANY season I have covered the NBA.



                        The pick/roll and screening schemes that D'Antoni has devised to make James Harden who he is... do not work against Green and the Warriors defense. Not only is Green a pimple on Harden's arse he has had the spirit, the conditioning and the legs to not just punch Harden in the mouth in the screening situations but recover in time to defend Capela.. or decide to foul the 50 percent free throw shooting Capela.



                        So take that Magic and you Showtime Lakers. Who'd-a thunk that Michigan State would have produced the first and second best modern day five-tool point guards in the history of the NBA.. that being the best every and the second best, Draymond Green and then Magic Johnson, respectively.



                        No analysis needed other than Green once again is a thorn in Harden's Nike's and the painful pimple that just won't go away on the back end of Harden for the entire game tonight.. an event that the Warriors are more likely to win by double-digits, than lose... period... case closed.

                            The NBA Playoffs for the most part has turned into the battle of the three point shot. It’s next to impossible to predict which team will shoot better in any given game. The art of basketball is slowly dying. Set plays are becoming a thing of the past. The Rockets have been exactly that team all season. This is a team that doesn’t share the ball and most of the time the guy holding the ball will throw up a three pointer. The problem is the Warriors know how to play basketball. This team knows how to play defense. If the heavy three point shots were not enough there now is issues with the refs. The Rockets bashed the officials after game one. Ratings are down this year. This is not a good look for the NBA. I believe the Warriors are the better team and the Rockets are too busy pointing their fingers instead of playing the game. Take the Warriors.
