    Thunder -1 vs Spurs Thoughts?

    My initial reaction is to take the Thunder for two main reasons.
    1. They are playing well right now 8-2 in their last 10. The spurs arent playing that bad either they are 7-2 in their last 10 but I think this game is more about the situation than the teams.

    and

    2. Back to back games for the spurs and its the first game of a 5 game road trip while the thunder had an off day and are coming off back to back wins against the pacers and knicks

    What do you guys think?

    I was just about to create a thread... Spurs +1 for me. The books messed up on this one. The Spurs are just a better team outright. And the Spurs should get more offense from Ginobili and Jefferson unlike the last time these two hooked up.

    thunder is the play. no explanation needed.

    a team beats the nba champs by 20, then is suddenly a +1 point dog the next day? HAHAHAHAHAHA

    im probably going to lay a fatty on okc just on principle

    Spurs usually struggle against the thunder. I do believe the spurs have fixed their road woes and i think they are the better team but I do not like them in this spot. I bet on them against LAL but this one will most likely be a no play.

    Well Kobe Bryant did leave in the 3rd Quarter dude to back spasms and I did not see this game but I do believe Gasol is out?? It is reasonable to believe the Lakers should have lost

    Okc is the play. San antonio is a old team and are playing on b2b and I like a rested young Okc team tomorrow

    I believe the lakers actually made their run after Kobe left the game. They cut a 22 pt lead down to 6 and looked pretty good before running out of gas. This was a two score game half way through the 4th quarter. Spurs hit some 3's in garbage time to inflate the margin.

    I didn't see the game but if Gasol was out as I stated, its justified to believe the Lakers should have lost this one

    Are you serious? Spurs should win by 20 on the road against OKC on the second night of a b2b? You're betting your entire bankroll on an NBA game in January?

    Both teams have been playing well, but I think that the Spurs should get the job done. Spurs team is clicking together and this is a revenge game. Personally I like Portland -5.5 better because they're playing at home and just as good even without most of their players. Also Milwaukee should continue to struggle without Redd.

    SAS is notorious for underachieving on 2nd of b2b's.... They are old, their bones are weary and they gave 100% last night right until the end....
    SAS in a let down spot here, just wish the books weren't that smart

    Lines like this are meant to induce action on the "public favorite" in this case SAS.

    BOL whichever way you play!

    What I meant was...

    OKC has a record of 3-3 (straight up) in the 2nd of back to back games this season.

    And you are right, they are not playing back to back...so that doesn't matter here. Sorry!

    OKC beat them in SA first time, that game marked the return of Parker and Duncan who each missed 2 games with ankle injuries. I think it is a trap and the play is OKC. Will probably take no action on this one.

    Spurs can't be trusted in this spot. I hope the public is all over the Spurs as its more profitable for my bankroll to invest on the books side of the game.

    Taking Okla City in this one.
