    I've heard his name mentioned a bunch of times on here, but I've never found out who he is? I've never seen a username on here with the name Lang. Does he post here in the NBA section? Link me to one of his pages. It's time I find out who the notorious lang is.

    Lang is a "handicapper"... Check the service plays forum. People usually post his picks everyday. You'd make more money fading him than following his plays.

    Celtics look awful because they are trying to integrate the new guys into different lineups to get everyone comfortable with each other. They have played like shit as a team so far, but they still have a decent amount of talent and obviously lots of experience. The poster who said Bass sucks clearly doesn't watch the Cs, because he has been one of the few bright spots on this team so far.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they pull off the big win tonight, then lose the next game or 2. They should find a good rhythm in a couple weeks and be worth tailing then. Right now, I think the veterans show up big tonight and get the upset

    2 of those favs have covered. OKC next.

    Just wanted to mention the Celtics will be without reserves Keyon Dooling and Chris Wilcox. This means Avery Bradley (Good defense, no ball-handling skills or offensive prowess) will backup rondo. Without Wilcox the frontcourt is limited to KG, JO, Bass, (Steimesma). The first unit may keep the Celtics relevant but I just dont see how the second unit (bradley, pietrus, bass) can compete against (harden, cook, collison). Unless OKC has an abysmal shooting night, they should easily beat the C's.

    Boston gets so much respect because the Celtics' betting faithful rivals that of the Lakers and a few other pro-sports franchises. As such, the opening line is often suspect, and/or the line movement can be misleading, depending on the situation. Moreso than any other teams, these select few tend to create the image that "they can't lose _ games in a row", and an argument can almost always be made for the "value" in the line.

    I'm not sure I understand why this line seems so peculiar to anyone when an 11-2 (7-6 ATS) team comes to down to play a 4-7 (5-6 ATS) team. Road team as a short fave. Makes sense.

    One unit on Thunder -2. This isn't a spot for a big play, but to me there's a definitive "right side"

    I've been thinking the same thing. I wanted to jump big on the Thunder since I've made out well fading the Celtics lately. I have -3 at my book now so I might just stay away.

    How can you go against the Thunder? Unless there's something that happened in the dressing room we don't know about this shouldn't even be close. Thunder by 12.

    Call me square but the Thunder are the right play.

    My question is why does Vegas set this line? They purposely wanted and knew that over 75% of the public would play OKC.

    WHAT DO THEY KNOW THAT WE DON'T??????

    Maybe they're trying to get you to overthink it.

    Boston was +1.5 against the Bulls Friday and they got blown the **** out.

    I'm seeing a lot of people on Boston. I seriously doubt that 75% is on OKC. People still think Boston is really good. I think they will struggle to be a play off team.

    This game has me too tied up. Obvious play is OKC -2.5, but it seems way too obvious. I usually don't play teasers, but since I only have leans on all my games, I'm going to try this 8 pt teaser:

    MIN +1
    BOS +10.5
    DAL +12

    Celtics 0 for last 8 shots... but Westbrook missing wide open layup/jumper/three has the Thunder up only 1.

    This game will likely be decided late when the biggest contrast (young vs. old legs) kicks in. I'll take a 30 point halftime lead for OKC tho!

    I know, I probably do about one teaser a week. VERY small wager. Want something to keep me glued to these games. Surprisingly, I've had some good luck, I'm 3-1 on teasers this year.

    Thunder up 6, it's clear that if they don't cover, it's because of THEM not Boston.

    Oklahoma City makes a LOT of inside cutesy passes... maybe too many.

    agreed. If OKC doesn't win, it will be completely on them. Or more likely because of Westbrooks ball hogging.

    And it's pretty obvious OKC is the much better team. This line should have been OKC -5, and I still think they would cover fairly easily.

    I have no stake in the game but i hope Boston wins for the fact they will be easier to gauge over the following weeks. Need them to get this win out of the way

    Well the worst thing that can happen for us is they stop over valuing the Celtics and they take a sharp decline there. A win here prevents that and they will continue to be over valued over the next 2-3 weeks all because they beat OKC


    this is good for us
