    Thunder Series Price +157

    Taking okc 15x at +157.

    The line tells you all you need to know.

    Okc will be expected to lose yet they are only +157? The lakers presented okc with matchup issues that won't be there v the spurs.

    Sure the spurs are hot and will most likely take something away from okc that la or dal could not but the spurs are in big trouble if they think they are gonna beat okc playing uptempo.

    Okc seems to be mismatched in the coaching dept for sure but I think brooks will hold his own.

    I can't risk okc winning gm 1 to lose value.

    San Antonio is just too deep thats why they win. harden is a starter who plays against the second string but his advantage goes down DRAMATICALLY against the Spurs. he really should have dominated the lakers scrubs but he didnt, so is he slowing down or just getting lazy? He will have to step it up a ton to be useful against the Spurs.

    But OKC is dangerous if they get hot, but Spurs have experience and the best coach around and they dont panic. They surely wont 'lose' a game OKC is going to have to win and beat them in every game. Lakers beat themselves a couple games (after refs set them up) that will not happen wit the Spurs.

    I figured 150/135 for an opener and maybe hit 175/160 or so, it opened bigger and hasnt moved quite as much as I thought. So I guess the price they opened was 'right'.

    Not that stats mean much but in the past 3 season Spurs are also 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS against the Thunder. Including 2-1 this year with OKC having the HC 'advantage'.

    I am on OKC +160 and feel they will take Game 1. This should be a great series, but I have OKC winning it in 6. They are very long on defense and will give Duncan and Parker a lot of problems. Plus Durant and Westbrook are playing the best ball I have seen them play in a while. The Spurs have been playing inferior competition, so I expect them to be caught a little off-guard in the first game. Regardless of who wins, I cannot wait to watch this series unfold!

    Line doesn't make sense. OKC shouldn't be that large of an underdog. When something doesn't make sense it usually isn't right.

    The Clippers and Jazz aren't the Thunder. The Spurs had the easier road so far. I like the Spurs to win the series. Bonner is shooting 43% from 3, Parker can drive and score or kick as well as Westbrook, Manu is a better sixth than Harden, Duncan is better than Perkins or Ibaka. Who is going to win this series for the Thunder?

    Did you choose to ignore Durant on purpose?

    No, but I don't think he can win the series for the Thunder. Durant is better than anybody on the Spurs. He's clutch in the 4th. If it's not close he can't be clutch.

    Like I've been saying all along, Spurs in 5. It doesn't matter that they had the easier path in the playoffs because they are 29-2 in their last 31 games and 29-1 in their last 30 if you toss the game where they sat their entire Big Three, so they have obviously proven themselves already. I think series price is about right, if anything it's a tad light as I predicted San Antonio -170.

    Despite the record, they only
    Won the West by two games.

    It's not like the won 70 games.

    They should be favored but they aren't going to sweep everyone.

    You're one of a handful on this site who know how to gamble...cause you're mostly betting +$$$$ plays. But don't you think it's odd that OKC(which the public absolutely loves) is +163???

    The Spurs play the type of game OKC likes to play. The only thing that worries me is that the Spurs are the deepest team in the NBA and they have the best coach in the NBA.

    OKC has the ammo to do damage but I feel like the Spurs are the better team.

    I hope I am wrong.

    Westbrook vs Parker should be awesome. Manu vs Harden should be great as well, they are pretty much carbon copies of each other.

    LB refuses to bet OKC... even when he even knew OKC ML was a LOCK in game 5. still bets on LA and loses.

    But as soon as OKC is presented as a dog... he is all on them, spewing same thing "line tells me all i need to know"



    Glad I can see the NBA for what it is more than him. Same reasons when he was on LA game 6 in Denver, I called LA trash and guaranteed Denver. Same reasons he decided to bet Indy ML game 4 vs Mia while me, and a lot of other guys included were all over the Heat knowing they would give 100% effort that game... season was in balance.

    I am not saying OKC can't win this series... but man, Spurs win game 1 and then what kind of a line will be available for OKC to win series.
