    GS was still the right play IMO. They just don't know how to execute down the stretch. Marc Jackson's coaching is absolutely horrible. As to why he decides to go away from Monta for stretches when he is having a career night is mind blowing.

    Monta pick and roll with David Lee was money all game. But he decides to go away from it late in the game

    Refs won another game for OKC. Hard to win bet's 5 on 8. Have to rethink fading the Thunder when they're getting timely calls, night after night.

    Not the right play when coach is part of the team.

    I agree with you that the coach is horrible, its the reason I have not played GS all all year even if BW endorsed. They can't be relied on to protect a lead. Sometimes they do but more than likely they don't. They would be awesome if they can stay focused and composed though.

    Uhhhh... aren't these facts to consider being betting GSW. You can't say it's the right play, and then right after say they can't execute down the stretch. I rarely disagree with BW, as he's pretty damn good, but Thunder was the right play here, as they're the MUCH BETTER team regardless of home/away/rest/b2b and the spread was short. Warriors only kept it close as the entire team was just in a shooting zone.

    Monta can't do it alone, otherwise you end up with him getting triple teamed and Monta throwing up bricks. That's how the Lakers choke away most 4Q's.

    Everything going against Golden State and they still had a great chance to cover. Biedrins and Lee foul trouble, Refs all over them, Marc Jackson with that terrible play call down 1, and Scotty Brooks extending the game with a chance to run the clock down for the last shot down 1. We were right to be on GState...any other night would be a win instead of push or close loss.

    how can you honestly say gs was the right play when they lost? the right play is whoever wins you your bet and you clearly lost which we all noted the forum would get buried

    Right plays lose all the time in betting. So are you saying that Orlando was the right play a couple of weeks ago when they backdoor covered Phili?

    Right plays don't lose more than 25% of time.

    LOL, BW is defn sharp, or at least on his game. But most of these so called "sharps" lurking here have no clue, and think anything against the public, has RLM, etc is automatically "sharp".

    Just because BW lost a bet doesn't make him any worse of a capper, and just because the public side won a bet doesn't mean it wasn't the right side.

    I bet most of these dudes would look at '96 Bulls b2b2b @ D-League Team 3 days rest, and end up taking the D-League Team since it "MUST BE SHARP"!

    m11chen nailed it. Love BW. I had the Thunder in this game, and I won. I should have lost/won/pushed - the game was a coin flip. BW's record speaks for itself. Love my win, but love BW more.

    I'm not going to get in some pissing fight on the internet. If you actually think the right play always wins then your not worth talking to.

    yeah i have to agree with whoatommy, hard to say okc was clearly the right side. i mean, i took gs and i know i made a bad call when the the line is a coin toss with a few minutes to go, i was *hoping* it would be a 10-15 pt game by then and okc would either be dragging or not shooting such a good fg%. they looked tired during one of the gs runs, but i think rebounded cause of their offense. i was absolutely staggered by how well okc shot, it was incredible. they are not one bit phased by gs playing defense on them. i got hooked by all those variables working against okc in this spot, but this is the nba, you have to be careful. gs simply does not have the ability to contain okc, to a man. we saw it in the earlier matchup at oracle, and this was more of the same, cause gs does not evolve on defense, they just don't, been this way for a few years. tho i reeeeeally wish biedrins would not foul every single person he sees in an opposing jersey. even still, it took a freakin miracle for okc to cover this, but gs can't hang with okc, a point i knew, and it should have been a no play.

    The right play wins 100% of the time.

    Backdoor covers, blown calls, etc. are part of the game. It's nearly impossible to predict them. But they're part of what builds to the final score and making THE RIGHT PLAY.

    Believe me, I know the pain of losing tons of SMART plays. They were smart, but not the RIGHT play.

    Tonight, Thunder were the right play.

    Just like the Orlando Magic against the 76ers. And the NY Giants Super Bowl. And that hideous hideous Memphis comeback on Denver. Unexpected and questionable endings that could have gone either way, but ultimately correct.

    I agree with you. The right play is the one with the +EV, regardless of the OUTCOME. If you're always on the "right" play, in the long run, you will win. It's a marathon, not a sprint. (Just my opinion that Thunder was +EV in this case).

    Just like if you're playing poker, you can make the right play, but lose when a dude hits his 1 out on the river. Nothing you can do about it.

    If they predicted Orlando would score within 7 points of the 76ers, they were. Fault the 76ers for not playing the same amount of D in the 4th, not the pick.

    "Oh they were garbage time points"

    Yes, this happens in the NBA.

    I'm not faulting the intelligent 76ers home pick against a struggling ORL team. I took them for a unit, myself. But to claim they were the RIGHT pick makes no sense.
