15-3 Thunder. Unreal.

SBR consensus team crashes and burns again.

**BigDofBA** · 05-11-14, 02:43 PM

Has OKC missed a shot?

They'll cool off. Pretty sure they are 6 of 6.

Clippers.

**BigDofBA** · 05-11-14, 02:52 PM

I did not foresee this start.

OKC is playing like their season is on the line.

**Pauulzcappin** · 05-11-14, 02:55 PM

I'm not really sure if they have it in them to come back. Looks like a blood bath for me.

Therein lies the problem with betting big on anything pro-sport related these days.

Back in the day, you really knew when/if a team was going to show up and play with that kind of intensity, because money wasn't a factor. Teams with their backs against the wall truly played like they had their backs against the wall.

Now, because all of these guys make so much $$$$, it's not that simple anymore. Because at the end of the day, tens of millions of dollars in guaranteed money really clouds your competitive juices. I know the Clippers want to win and the Thunder want to win, but at the end of the game, regardless of the outcome, they'll shake hands, go home and live lavishly. It's not as do-or-die as it used to be. Guaranteed contracts in the 8-9 figure range have changed all of that.

After yesterday's 2-0 on overs and the ridiculously successful track record on overs in the NBA playoffs to date, I should've just hammered the under. The writing was on the wall there.

Griffin's vagina is bleeding again.

I can't stand that piece of shit.

Most overrated "star" in the NBA, without question.

The thing that bugs me about making this bet is that I like the Thunder and can't stand the Clippers. So now I'm forced to root for these posers to make a comeback, which they probably will, because after all -- it's the NBA.

**BigDofBA** · 05-11-14, 03:13 PM

LA might come back but they aren't showing any fight.

At least Memphis had heart.

I can't stand him either and he graduated from the same school as I did so I had to root for him in college.

they'll win but not cover....

**BigDofBA** · 05-11-14, 03:31 PM

You get paid millions to play bball and you can't even hit rim on a free throw...wtf.

LMAO at Jordan.

**BigDofBA** · 05-11-14, 03:41 PM

Durant really shouldn't flex on the court.....

**No coincidences** · 05-11-14, 03:54 PM

LAC/OKC 2H under 108.5 (2.2U to win 2)

**Allure** · 05-11-14, 04:08 PM

If OKC wins isn't Washington then an auto play? Hard to imagine the public sweeping the card.

**Sixla** · 05-11-14, 04:12 PM

The Clipper game has no impact on the outcome of the Wizards game, FYI

If the Clippers were up by 20 would you still be throwing out this argument?

I say this all the time on the board. Money has diluted the competitive nature of athletes. And I don't blame them. I'd be the same way if I made the kind of guaranteed money they do.

**labones00** · 05-11-14, 04:19 PM

So why not bet on sports where a players performance is what earns them a check? Tennis, golf etc....

**BigDofBA** · 05-11-14, 04:40 PM

LA 2 of 20 from three and they just keep jacking up shots.

Don't see why not at this point (public sweeping).

The genius of Doc Rivers.

**Pauulzcappin** · 05-11-14, 04:51 PM

3 ball is a big part of their basketball identity want it or not. I just question not putting crawford earlier in the game since matt barnes is completely useless.

They've actually missed a few more. These are hurried threes early in the shot clock.

What happened to lob city?

They panicked way too early in this game.

**No coincidences** · 05-11-14, 04:56 PM

It just cracks me up when people say officials don't dictate the tempo -- and sometimes results -- of a game by what they do or don't let go.

LOL! Sure it does. You ain't sharp just yet.

**No coincidences** · 05-11-14, 05:01 PM

WAS -170 (5.1U to win 3)
WAS -4 (2.04U to win 2)

**BigDofBA** · 05-11-14, 05:07 PM

OKC looks like they have stopped playing.

No problem. Refs give them the ball twice.
