Looking good NoCo

i know OKC gave you a heart attack last night, they did me as we'll, but they are the play again tomorrow, -pts.

Then bet them on the series line next series

(they play Denver/GS winner, correct?)

Denver point spread is in the top 10 wagered plays today. I think the series bet is a bit of a trap. I like GS +2 tonight personally.

Looking good so far JB. Glad I passed. Weird that the series price would be where it is unless the books thought Denver was winning this game, but they're not in good shape right now.

Line suggest under 2nd half zzz

Man, I don't know. The 2H scared me. If OKC from the 1H shows up, I agree. But they looked pretty lost after the break.

**BigDofBA** · 04-28-13, 10:16 PM

OKC is capable of playing well without Westbrook as illustrated by their first half performance.

They won what would have been a tough game even if Westbrook had been playing. They're up 3-0 and have another game or two in this series to figure out how to play without Russell.

Honestly, if OKC is a dog in round 2, I see a lot of value. If somehow OKC get's passed round 2, they will lose to the SPurs.

Yes they did.

Fuk George Karl and the worthless nuggets. Steph owns you. He has made me a believer.

Yet another late-game head fake by the books on a total. Wish I had a dime for every time this happened throughout the course of the NBA season.

**BigBoi** · 04-29-13, 01:37 AM

Coin, what your verdict on okc/houston and atl/indy? Pretty much the same lines or close from yesterday.

If Thunder is dog in round 2, I would be all over them. ALL IN.

Rockets.

**No coincidences** · 04-29-13, 02:01 AM

1-0, +2.2U today
230-255, +2.01U thread

**Speedy88** · 04-29-13, 02:15 AM

I think Houston pulls a Boston tomorrow and extends the series. Thunder know the series is over. They did their job and stole a game on Houston's court.

i must commend you for not being the blinded homer fan that i pegged you for.

i agree re the spurs, and only b/c parker looks to be 100%, but a team with durant can have 4 of us around him and have a chance. this is his time to completely shoulder the load and prove he has some jordan in him

**No coincidences** · 04-29-13, 08:15 PM

HOU +108 (3U to win 3.24)

**amrit** · 04-29-13, 08:18 PM

^^ I'm with you coin...BOL!

**BigBoi** · 04-29-13, 09:11 PM

NBA where amazing happens. Proof in atl Indy total

I'm not sure why you ever thought I was a homer. You must have missed about 20 threads that I have started over the past two years in which I predicted OKC to lose.

Hell, I started one today about how I liked the Rockets tonight and gave reasons.

**No coincidences** · 04-29-13, 09:41 PM

Man, Houston plays zero D.

McHale is a loser coach. Has no idea what he's doing out there.

They just don't have any defenders. Only guy on that team who is an above average defender is Asik. All their PG's are midgets who can't play defense, and all their wings suck at defense.

**amrit** · 04-29-13, 09:48 PM

Forget defense...I blame this all on James Harden...hes a certified bitch. Choked last year in the finals, and is letting his team down here.

They just put zero effort into it, though. And it's obvious they haven't made any adjustments to utilize their strengths from Game 3 to Game 4. I honestly don't think McHale has any idea what he's doing.

Yeah, he has gagged pretty good in this series.

**amrit** · 04-29-13, 09:52 PM

wow...big shot right there...keeping us alive haha.

Agreed, I don't think he is a great coach. But at the same time, look at his team. Other than Harden, they have nobody. Chandler Parsons is their second best player.

**amrit** · 04-29-13, 10:01 PM

You guys think Houston can win this game still?

It's pretty funny listening to the Thunder broadcast. "And Harden throws up a prayer that goes in, flops, and the refs give him the foul. Unbelievable." LMAO. I pointed out how big of a flopper he was when he played for OKC.

As for the Rockets coaching staff, they're horrible. Kelvin Sampson is an assistant and he sucks. Trust me, he coached at the University of Oklahoma when I was in school. They look lost.

Houston came back from 26 down on Sunday to take the lead in the 4th, so ya, they can win the game.

but they wont

Exactly. That's all you need to know.

I've seen crazier things in my small time betting sports.

OKC was nothin close to a lock, either.
This game was definitely one to avoid..... but my money's on HOU winnin one tonite so ....

**BigDofBA** · 04-29-13, 10:19 PM

Does anyone else keep cracking up when the stadium speakers blast defense?

Rockets play defense? LMAO.
