    Lakers vs Thunder tonite = Geocentric Theory vs. Heliocentric Theory, 1610, Rome

    i feel like Galileo pointing up to the sky.. saying..

    "see?.. that thing isn't moving"

    "we are"

            Ibaka and Harden are 2 pretty good guys off the bench although point taken about Durant or bust against the Lakers. You could make the same argument against the Cavs team that went to finals with 'Bron, it's doable at home on a Fri night. I only played the 1st Half for 2units cause your damn right about end game being a light switch for the Lakers though.

            Keeping with the the theme of the thread being reversed

                          before you lend too much credence to "majority rules"..
                          let's examine the "stockmarket"... the majority of peeps are wrong...

                          it is consistently the 'minority' that makes out like bandits...

                          "IF" the majority of peeps were right..
                          this business would not exist..

                            I've capped this game myself long before I read posts from reputable guys like tealish, Lyon, etc... I'm talking about the majority in terms of reputable cappers on this site. Lakers cover tonight bro but good luck with your OKC play.

                                Nah,nah, my favorite is this... Lakers -1.5 "Is this a good play or a trap" I see it everyday and keep laughing about it.. If, I are anybody else had all the answers must of us including me would have grauduated posting on sports forums.

                                  4 words.. Mumba and Tony Brothers! Lol its never a gurantee but I like my chances with the lake show -1.5 against a very YOUNG team. That plays a role as much of some of you guys think it might not a veteran club will almost certainly know how to close out a game if its close during crunch time. And lakeshow have one of the best in the business

                                    Lakers are in motivated playoff mode.

                                    Last 8 games against top-notch teams:

                                    @POR: W, 99-82
                                    @UTAH: W, 96-81
                                    vs. SA: W, 101-89
                                    @DAL: L, 101-96
                                    vs. DEN: W, 95-89
                                    @ORL: L, 96-94
                                    @PHO: W, 102-96
                                    @SA: W, 92-83

                                    I'd think twice about betting against them right now.

                                      it's a trap... they know that the Thunder are going to win... but they set it UNDER a single FG.. so peeps would be like... "if this was in LA it would be 8pts".. "LA's going to win".....

                                      classic trap line... hook,line and sinker

                                      i always felt, that the trick is to cap games.. and ignore the line..

                                      if you think one team is going to play better than the other.. then line doesn't matter so much..
                                      Vegas does want even wagering, but the line is also a target that they want you to miss...

                                      they will play tricks with the positioning of that target intentionally to create errors in judgement.
                                      we gauge our picks based on the positioning of that target..

                                      i say ignore it, and shoot where you think it is

                                        Was LAL's game with SA the other night also a trap?

                                        OKC was out-classed by SA the other night on its home court. Then, SA was outclassed by LAL on its home court. You do the math.

                                          the funny thing is, that's how I capped this game. I saw the lakers beating the thunder before seeing the line. Just like how I picked the lakers to beat SA on the road the other night.

                                              If the spurs were the play, why did they lose lakerboy? Lakers were obviously the play, I ended up only betting LA small b/c everyone on this site seemed so "confdient" that the spurs would win. This game comes down to a couple buckets at the end, maybe a game winning shot by Durant or Kobe.

                                                this game will be settled by the 40th minute, likely sooner. No way this game goes down to the wire.. last possession. Outcome will be too lopsided... i guarantee you, check the articles on ESPN tomorrow AM... this WILL be a story.

                                                  the spurs were the so called "correct play " like okc is. I had lakers that night just like i have lakers tonight. Its the good old correct play versus winning play theory. The lakers are always gonna be the square play when they are in a sitation like this. I know the lakers were the play over san and i tried convincing my friends here but they wouldnt listen

                                                        lakers are a road fave in one of the leagues toughest buildings and the public is all over them and of course that would be the square play. Kind of like cavs tonight. not meaning it cant win.

                                                        Of course okc is the correct play- reasoning in above paragraph.

                                                          thank you, LB, i appreciate that... always want to understand as much as possible, new stuff best

                                                          ***incidentally in SA tonite, i like the OVER 97.5 in the 1st Half.. and game towards the Spurs..
                                                          they will be scoring tonite.. i think Cavs will score too, but a bit less fire than Spurs..

                                                              I think LB was trying to make his point of the square play doesn't always lose. He mentioned that the spurs were quote un quote the correct play if u just looked at going against the general public. I believe he was on the lakers that night when they beat the spurs on their homecourt.
