OKC -4 for $5,000

[Aye J Mac]

OKC -4 (bought points) for $5,000

- what an emotional speech to his teammates after recieving MVP, it almost made me cry too
- okc can't go down 0-2 @home
- public pounding okc, but my gut says to pull the trigger for okc
- expect thunder teamwork spark

[Barnes & Whine]

Well, they're going to need all the help they can get to win any games in this series. Good luck.

That was one hell of a speech.

[Ralphie1412]

I didnt see one redeeming quality in game 1. The Clippers beat them at every aspect of the game. Jordan and Griffin on the baseline was scary. OKC cant defend.

I think they go down 0-2 peronally.

[buckeyesooner]

Great speech, anyone that has followed KD knows it was very sincere and from the heart. I'll be there in Loud City. $200 on the over...

[RMStanley]

This is the only game of the series that OKC will win.

[JayLA]

Im a huge believer of motivational angles in sports. I like this play, "public money" or not.

[jtoler]

Hope not, but a game is easily decided by refs so they could easily win.

Does anybody really believe that OKC is the better team at this point, though? Just curious. I agree they win tonight, but the Clippers will win the series.

The Clippers have so many freaking scoring options, and run a legit offense to boot. The Thunder have ONLY Durant and Russell (who sometimes work as a detriment to each other) and to a lesser extent Jackson. Everybody else is a role player or a specialist.

The Clippers have CP3, Griffin, Crawford, Collison who can all create and I'd argue that Redick and Barnes are so great at what they do that they should be listed as well. Hell, Glenn Davis can actually create from a standstill if he's matched up against a fellow big.

LAC's options are virtually unlimited whereas OKC's offense is as bad as the Bulls with only Westbrook and Durant's freakish skills lifting them.

Clippers defense and coaching are superior to OKC's and they now have home court as well. Clippers in 5 or 6.

Extactly...clipps much deeper team...more options share bball...they have everything that team needs in playoff... great pg, great coach, go to big guy, x factor from the bench etc...i agree they win series easy..I also do think that okc wins tonight...even weaker teams have bounce back games and clipps played perfect game the other night... they miss more shots okc will run out, play better defense and so on...i dont think okc wins either in LA..gl

don't mean to offend or something, but do you realize you just stated 0 basketball reasons for why you will bet 5000 dollars on a team to win a basketball game against another team that will be giving it its all? this is not the regular season where sometimes one team just wants it so much and the other ends up taking the foot off the gas. the clippers also are in an emotional quest after what happened with Sterling.

JM92, no reason to offend either, "but do you realize you just stated 0 basketball reasons" why not to bet on OKC? I frankly think any opinion works, as long as it works. Both teams will be giving their all and both teams are on an emotional quest (it's hard to measure whose is 'more important'). I can't tell where I land. It's hard to imagine Clippers winning two games in a row against OKC. I might wait for the clipps to take an early lead and live bet OKC ML or see the first half get a flavor of whats to come and bet the second half.

GL!

[Tommy Karate]

what speech - video link?

[JIBBBY]

I think OKC is a lock to win tonight myself.. KD getting MVP and OKC coming off a 1st game loss at home where the Clipps shot the lights out.. That's isn't gonna happen again in game 2 tonight at OKC..

I'd be shocked if the Clippers go up 2-0 away from home in OKC.. Not gonna happen!!!! Indy the same...

Time for the favorites to start winning and covering like what happen last night.. Too many upsets have been happening since the playoffs started. Order will be restored...

[nelsonrc24]

where did you get -4?!

I would rather read what he wrote then a 3 paragraph breakdown only to come out in the end as a turd.....if that gets ur dick hard you can go over to Wizzles thread and read all his bullshit and light your money on fire.....just saying

its called spot betting, and how u profit in NBA. kind of like Heat curb stomping the Nets last night. I didn't factor in any X's or O's in that game but i sure pounded the fuk out of it

[44 Mag]

Kind of like the Memphis series????

Are the Clippers still crying about that??? Did they tear up their paychecks in protest??? PLease, if they win they are the better team not the most abused.LOL.

[Dougie_Fre$h]

I got $2400 on okc ML. No chance they lose this game

[JIBBBY]
