Friday night: Grizzlies @ Thunder +7

[t-wizzle]

Can OKC win this game even with such a depleted lineup?

National TV game. Ibaka and Jackson will have to carry them but I think they can win this game outright. Taking the points here seems like the way to go for sure.

Let's get some discussion going on this one.

its a espn nba game. i will be surprised if they dont win

i told seto im most likely taking the ml as well as the points

The more I think about it, the more I like it.

It's best not to fade OKC at home on a Friday.

The place will be rock'n.

I expect OKC to play there best game of the year tomorrow.

Granted, we're only 5 games in but even if Memphis plays their game and wins, 7 will still be a lot for them to cover.

I have a good feeling about OKC getting their second win.

[KRIT]

OKC with the points looks good.

[Seto]

In those playoff rematch type games, usually if both teams are at full strength the team that lost in the playoffs covers (Dallas @ Spurs, Warriors vs Clippers), and if the team that won in the playoffs is undermanned they cover (Thunder @ Clippers, Pacers @ Hawks, Pacers @ Wizards).

For whatever that's worth.

Memphis are hot but I'm not too afraid to fade a hot Grizzlies team like I am with the Rockets for instance...

How about this line? Where do we see it going? I kind of want to just lock it in and be done with it but anyone think it goes back to 7.5 or even 8?

Pinny opened at 7.5 and moved down to 7 in about 10 mins looks like. I could see it moving back up.

[BigDofBA]

I don't see this going higher than 7. If anything I could see it dropping.

Yea I could see 6.5

Seems too easy to take OKC + the pts.
Pass.

How do you figure?

Memphis undefeated.

OKC suiting up like 8 guys and getting blown out every game.

OKC should bring great effort at home tomorrow. I think they'll win the game but even if they don't, Memphis isn't he kind of team that blows people away.

Just seems too easy. 7 points at home is alot for any team. Just seems too easy to me lol baiting people in.

Tough one okc crowd is nuts got a standing ovation at home vs denver, best crowd in the league imo so the players should go all out, But on the other hand Memphis has covered 4 straight and okc's only cover was against a weak denver who has been underachieving so far

edit: oops they covered at clips but they are struggling too 0-5 ats, Memphis is not struggling.

[Pauulzcappin]

lamb and r-jax will play tomorrow as well. okc has the bigs to hang inside w/ the grizzlies but they have to run and gun to win.

still think its a good play.

[t-wizzle]

Is Lamb really playing tomorrow? I didn't see that.

"Jeremy Lamb (back) is expected to make his season debut on Friday, "barring any unforeseen setback.""Jeremy Lamb practiced today. It’s going good," coach Scott Brooks said on Thursday. "We’ll see how he feels tomorrow and make a decision." Lamb is much closer to 'probable' than 'questionable' according to beat writer Anthony Slater, and should have a substantial offensive role for however many minutes his conditioning allows for.

Memphis spanks.. damn easy

[Salmon Steak]

What do you think on the total? 92-92 game would be 184. If Memphis is really a 7 point favorite 95-89 for the over 183.5. I was thinking under with the defense of Memphis (1st), poor scoring (23rd) and a depleted OKC team (27th points per game). I'm not feeling OKC, but since you guys like them I might live bet this one.

[GoBlue77]

memphis EASY. as easy as the rockets won tonight. all those playoff wins comeback to bite OKC tonight, grizz get some revenge tonight

[larry040681]

just seeing this on memphis side.. mem's backcourt too pesky for 2nd team backcourt of okc, and ibaka might be pulled away from the paint. Seeing this as over 190+

[KRIT]

I like both of the home dogs in the ESPN games tonight.

Interesting insight. Good luck tonight Larry.

[greypimps]

man what a bunch of losers.. keep throwing your money away.. no way in hell will okc win this game straight up..more like a blow out game.. OKC lets see... ibaka 10 -15 points... Jackson maybe 19 points.. perkins garbage... scrub lamb 10 points.. who else the big white dude 5 points (adams).. unless gasol or Randolph is out, this game is not even close.. keep thinking okc will win because its a national televised game.. these fools shitted on espn telecast before..

Posts like this make me like OKC even more

thunder has the game winning ball here. 6 seconds left.

[Pauulzcappin]

unreal

[BigDofBA]

I have a good feeling about OKC getting their second win.

20 turnovers.

3 of 11 at the free throw line.

F*ck. At least they covered for me.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen Scott Brooks draw up a good inbounds play, especially when he doesn't have KD or Russ to bail him out with great 1 on 1 play.

[Gonz312]

That's the second time early in this season I have seen a crucial 5 second violation. Happened to the spurs a couple games back too. Veterans throwing the ball in as well with a TO both times.

Would love to see OKC except for the fact I have the Grizz ML in a couple open parlays

[Gonz312]

That was a great look for Ibaka, couldn't ask for a better shot.

[Pauulzcappin]

they had the game ball in their hands in the last possession. couldnt ask anything better than that.

Shoot 45% at the free throw line and they win.

i mean all things considered it wasnt that bad. they dont have their 2 best players and went down the wire against an unbeaten team.

[Salmon Steak]

Great call by OKC backers. I couldn't see it. I can tell there is a lot of experienced cappers on this forum. I got the under. Have a great night guys, I'm headed out.

I hear ya, I'm just pissed because they had 20 turnovers and were 3 of 11 at the line yet only trailed by 1 point with 5 seconds left.

I had spread and ML.
