    Yep, they came back from a five day break to lay down the first game so they'd have more energy for the second game. Why bother trying to win two games in a row? That's just a pipe dream.

      Lol, I never understand the thinking of some people. I heard someone else on here say that Houston laid down to Orlando because they were getting ready for Oklahoma. Lol. People just don't give the winning team any credit. No team in the NBA lays down and looks ahead to the following game. They just got outplayed by a better team. Oklahoma is shit right now! Houston wooped their ass. Plain and simple. I would play Golden State today but I feel like that game will be a tough battle until the end. I need an uneven advantage when I place a bet.

        GS at -1 is the play of the month. No discussion background or anything required

        uneven advantage on an ongoing basis is extremely difficult in the NBA let alone a 1 off. How do you
        define uneven??

          Yes, as soon as I saw that line it screamed Golden State all the way but Golden State already wooped Oklahoma's ass 2 times this year. Somehow I feel the 3rd time could be the charm. Just like how Golden State wooped the Lakers ass 2 times this year but the 3rd time, the Lakers wooped Golden States ass. For some reason, I see that same scenario playing out here. I don't know, I will wait until the rest of the other lines come out before I make a final decision.

              Timing & selection are critical to every day positive play, set your plays to ALWAYS end positive

                Patience my friend. I also like the Chicago Bulls to shit all over the Boston Celtics. I know the Bulls are inconsistent but the Celtics are shit. I will await the rest of the lines to come then will make my final decision. Also, if Golden States beats the Thunder, I doubt it will be a close game. The line will not go any higher than Golden State -3, I hope. We'll see.

                Also, I think the linesmakers and everyone else still see Oklahoma as the Oklahoma from last year. Alot of OKC's lines this year have been inflated as hell. They're shit this year and have been a beating stick for many teams. The Golden State line of -1 screams trap to alot of people but it might just be a free gift from Vegas. I've seen many of them this year.

                    Here's a tip about Vegas (I live here), forget the books they dont give a shxt about anything but
                    balancing the action. They arent trying to “play” anybody, just make your plays on the basis of your
                    data/system and totally forget about conspiracy action from LV. It shouldn't factor in at all ever

                      People always seemed to be surprised that a road favorite has what they think is too small of a spread. The Warriors being favored at OKC (even by 1) is actually implying a huge valuing of the Warriors by the lines makers. Would you really expect the Warriors to be 3 or 4 point favorites in this spot? This game is definitely a toss up, unless KD turns his ankle in the 2nd quarter again.

                          You see with too low of a line alot of people think "trap" or its going to be a really close game. Alot of lines this year have been ridiculously low or extremely too high. Where does Vegas get these lines from I don't know. I think I'm just going to donkey kong pound Golden State cause I just can't see OKC keeping within 7 here. OKC is not OKC from last year!

                            when you say this spot what does that reference? its nothing to do with "road fave", much more basic - does GS win?

                              just hit it within the levels of your system, forget this that why conspiracy blah blah -is it reasonable GS wins? yes

                                  GSW is a no-brainer

                                  PS: Edit, it looks like a nobrainer, automatic play or an ideal matchup , but still there is a rest factor...

                                            Thunder are rarely ever home dogs. No way they should be +4 or whatever.

                                            They'll win this game most likely.

                                                  Every game in the West this year is crucial... to think teams "take off" is just not smart whatsoever.
