    Taking the Thunder -2 First Half Tonight

    The Thunder overall have not played well in the first half in each of the first 3 games. They have been playing from behind mostly. The simple adjustment to be made on film is to continue to push the tempo, and for westbrook to push the ball. Tonight we will see Westbrook pushing the ball hard after a rebound, and creating fast breaks out of nothing. Durant is focused and I expect him to shoot well tonight.

    Perkins has been completely outclassed in this series thus far. If he wants to step up, this is the game to do so, Make a statement defensively, block some shots, and let your team feed off that energy. Ibaka has done just about as good a job as you can do on Dirk. Dirk will not be stopped no matter what. Sefalosha has to be involved early on the defensive end, the Thunder have also struggled with him on the court in the opening quarter. I think that Brooks sent a message to these guys and basically told them to get it going early or he's going to go sub early with Collison and Harden.

    The Thunder need to use their athleticism and feed off the crowd, because when it goes back to Dallas, the Dallas vets will neutralize that athleticism with their ball movement and efficiency.

    So the game is over for you in the 1st half? Now that sux.

    I think you are chasing money instead of chasing a game.

    Are you going to play the 2h too? I know I would if my game has ended short, whether I make money or not making any money.

    I'm not a degenerate bro. I think its going to be a good game the only thing I'm confident about is OKC first half. I'll be happy if I cash and I'll still watch the rest of the game. I watch 95% of playoff games for the last 25 years, whether i'm betting it or not.

    So you are playing the "due" game when okc in their last 3 games were late to start in the 1H eh?

    Why is it going to be due now and not in the next game?

    3-1, going back to Dallas, still another chance for 3-2 and possible winning the 1H there for the due process theory...???

    DId you read what I wrote about? The adjustments are seen on film, not in line movement, not in the refs, not in anything else. The difference tonight is the tempo- its a simple adjustment, you will see how the thunder create fast breaks out of virtually nothing due to their athleticism. I know for a fact that Brooks aproached both Perkins and Sefalosha personally and told them their energy was needed defensively to start this game.

    This has nothing to do with "being due." I don't even know if the Thunder will win tonight, but the adjustments are pretty simple. Like I said in the Heat bet last night, there was no adjustments the Bulls could make to have a chance in that game. It's either load up on both wings (wade and lebron) and discount the midrange jump shot- or account for the soft spot in the middle at the midrange and the elbow and load up on 1/2 of miami's superstars.

    You are the goat milk so I guess I'll tail you and load on some myself.

    Sounds like you are capping your bet by basing it on a coaches point of view because you sound like a good coach.

    Thanks for the insight.
