    Thunder +6.5 tonight

    They should cover. They need to show something tonight. Spurs have been off for a week. They should be out of rhythm a bit.

    every game is big in playoffs

    Not sold on Durant anymore as a big timer

    Just a wild jump shooter..afraid to do work inside, afraid to rebound


    Spurs could put on A CLINIC

    Laker is the worst. Has he ever won a bet or bet something that wasn't a stupid bet at a bad number?

    bench and defense too strong on SA.
    OKC lacks depth.

    Thunder need to have a good showing here. I'm not convinced this spurs team is that great.

    What no one talks about is how much they struggled in the last month or so of the season. Sure they won a lot, but it was a grind for them. I still think the key is Tony Parker, the Spurs go as far as he will take them. As good as Leonard is, I think the offense runs best through Parker than isolating Kawhi.

    Tough to bet against the Spurs in these playoffs at home unless they are playing a healthy Warriors team.. Will the Spurs cover the points that is the question going into this game with OKC?

    It's a pass or a "pay a lot to win a little" with the Spurs ML me tinks...

    Thanks krit. Parker is washed up. He will get abused.

    if Durant was playing at a MVP level OKC could squeak out this series. But Durant has NEVER shown is ready for the big stage

    I've always been curious to know why Vegas/NBA allows this to happen all the time? Very seldom does a dog cover the spread and lose the ML.

    Durant averaged 30+ a game I think against Lebron in the finals? It was westbrook and harden that both got bitch made by D Wade. Durant is prime time, impossible to guard.

    The offense runs through Leonard and Aldridge.

    It's easily the best Spurs team ever assembled. You're gonna find out why Lamarcus aldridge is the best big man (or 2nd best after cousins) in basketball after these playoffs. This team is stacked to the max. Big 3 can still dominate games when they want, Leonard is Leonard, top 6 player in the league. Lamarcus top 10.

    Bingo!! Besides that the Spurs are a strong defensive team that really plays together as a unit.. OKC as a team really hasn't played together this year, it's all strong one on one play with Westbrook and Durant and that's where the team chemistry stops..

    Spurs might sweep them.. I'm thinking OKC gets housed in this series as crazy as that sounds..

    Speaking of D Wade he really went off last night refusing to go fishing.. I was impressed!! That boy still has game when the money is on the table.. I have a decent sized series bet with the Heat and I thought the Heat and my bet might be done going into that game last night.. Not the case now..

    Love game 7's!!! Win or go home..

    i'm going with the spurs being rusty angle from the long layoff and taking okc +3.5 first half.

    let's face it, spurs looked dominant and most will think they'll steamroll all over okc but memphis wasn't even a playoff team.

    besides zach randolph, rest of the starters were bench players for any other team.

    Spurs backcourt has major issues. Parker is painful to watch.. can't shoot or get by anyone, slow as molasses, can't defend. Mills is very hit or miss as a backup. Green has been terrible all year shooting the ball, but at least defends well. Martin was a good pickup and should be playing equal minutes to Green. Ginobili shouldn't play more than 10 mins max per game.

    Some arguable points here but I'm putting much stock in the Spurs layoff comments The Spurs last game was on Sunday and Thunder last game was Monday, so only a day difference.

    This is a bad analysis. Ginobli is going to abuse the Thunder in this series for 20+ minutes night. Parker can still blow by 50% of pgs in the nba. They don't need him to, but he can. Patty Mills is one of the best backup pgs in the nba. Green and Kevin Martin are both below average players.

    They're the best team in the NBA, trust me. THem and the warriors are miles ahead of everyone. Thunder are good but I can't see them beating the spurs 4 times.

    Sweep?? Probably less than 2% chance that happens. OKC is definitely good enough to challenge the Spurs. Westbrook is almost unguardable, but actually Kanter is the key. Literally a different team since he started beasting...

    Kawhi keeps Durant in check. Russ going to have to beast just to keep it close. This is why I can't take you seriously LB. Spurs are just a name? 5 rings and all they did was get better upgrading old man riverwalk to LMA. And they also may be the best home court team in the NBA
