Thunder getting no love tonight?

GiveMeaBJ · 02-03-10, 04:08 PM

Not while Bron is in the league. Bron is going to go on a tear next year for his new team. Hornets tonight Paco!

Quagmire27 · 02-03-10, 04:24 PM

Won't bet against the Thunder winning tonight, but a team that relies heavy on the jump shot, on the road, b2b, is kind of sketchy, GL

Are you Crazy Paco? The Thunder is getting love. They opened up as -1 favorites on the road to a team they haven't beat in the last 10 games and they are also playing B2B. Besides that they moved to -2 favorites with 65% of the bettors on them according to 5Dimes..If that's not love I don't know what is.

Me on the other hand. I am on the other side.

New Orleans ML +115

Do you still like the Thunder?

Wilforth · 02-03-10, 04:28 PM

NOH +2 all the way!

jdhender · 02-03-10, 04:30 PM

I like Thunder here, better team + favorable referee lineup

paco · 02-03-10, 04:32 PM

Lyon, yes I still like the thunder. 65% on thunder, thas why u are going hornets? Is that ur theory? The public does win even if it's at like 85% sometime. Do u remember like a month ago , it was like close to 90% on Magic against the Kings. Everyone said the books wouldn't pay that out. Magic rolled in that game.

paco · 02-03-10, 04:33 PM

Matchup wise, thunder actually win as well. Who will te Hornets look to in the clutch? Side of the backboard hitting Peja? Posey? David west bum ass?

lakerboy · 02-03-10, 04:38 PM

PAco why arent the thunder favored by more than 2? They are playing hornets without Paul. No reason thunder shouldnt roll. Good luck but i dont like playing road favorites

No, I do not make a point to bet against the public. They win games some. Hell, I am the public. I'm not doing this for a living. The reason I am playing Hornets Paco is because the Hornets have owned OKC. Also OKC is on the road playing B2B against a team that has owned them.OKC has lost 10 straight to the Hornets. OKC, played a grueling game last nite that went down to the wire against a team (Atlanta) that they have owned. Besides the Hornets are a good home team. Also OKC has won 3 straight and have only won more than 3 straight one other time this year. NO has lost their last two games at home... This game is screaming a New Orleans play... The only thing I don't like about this game is what jhender posted.. The referee mathcup does favor the road team here as Tony Brothers has been shit on a stick for home teams. If it wasn't for Tony Brothers refereeing tonite the Hornets would be a big play for me.

All the reasons Lyon just posted

, but I'm a firm believer that records/stats are meant to be broken

djpremier36 · 02-03-10, 04:58 PM

Thunder should be opening up bigger than the one point fav IMO.

The number is low probably because of the back to back games and the fact that the last 3 games in New Orleans have lead to 18, 12 and 31 point victories for the Hornets.

jdhender · 02-03-10, 05:02 PM

tough game, agree with lyon that this a tough spot for okc coming off a victory over atlanta. brothers and crawford reffing this one, a combined 25-58-1 Home Team ATS

Glitch · 02-03-10, 05:03 PM

yeah the hornets have been owning them for years and years.

Glitch · 02-03-10, 05:14 PM

david west is really the only legitimate threat left on the team that can cause the thunder not to get the win tonight

genius · 02-03-10, 05:22 PM

OKC PLUS POINTS im looking forward to collison westbrook

I got you on this. I think Durant will win the scoring title THIS year. Denver has realized they can be very effective without Melo goin for 30 every night whre as Durant is crucial to OKC's success and Durant is a close 2nd to him right now. They get no love cause they are a small market team and people like to root for teams that they know have a chance to win the championship as a result of lack of heart. Paco what so you think about the Under?

paco · 02-03-10, 05:31 PM

Kid, I like the under if i were to play it. I don't think anyone gets to the mid 90's in this. Under 192 might also be a good play but I'm just sticking with the 1 play on this game

maseda17 · 02-03-10, 05:35 PM

When will people realize how good Collision is? Another double digit assist night tonight!

THEGREAT30 · 02-03-10, 05:36 PM

They will win if the refs call phantom fouls 35 ft from basket for Durant, other than that they will lose.

I also think this kid is a stud. I was very impressed his game in LA against the Lakers earlier this season.

yea, Nick Collison for Thunder is pretty good inside

maseda17 · 02-03-10, 05:40 PM

haha

lyon804 · 02-03-10, 05:56 PM

I think you right Paco.. OKC, will most likely win tonite the more I look st this.

paco · 02-03-10, 07:41 PM

Unicorn7 · 02-03-10, 07:44 PM

The Thunder are as unpredictable team as there is...they can beat the best team in the league on one night, then lose to the worst on the next.
