    Staying away until the playoffs
    I was one of the unfortunate folks who did OKC -7.5. It didn't look like a stupid thing then. GSW were playing their first home game after a considerably long trip. OKC were supposed to be the fresher of the 2 teams. OKC also teased us with a 17-point 1Q lead. You know the rest of the story.

    Of course, there are few games left before the playoffs but there's need to keep one's sanity intact by staying away from the remaining regular season games.

        You had the right combination. I liked the OVER in the GSW game but wasn't sure the Warriors would score enough especially after OKC had some success in slowing down the Suns.

          I was hoping the Warriors would lose. I'd like them to lock up the 3rd worst record for the lottery. I guess not every game is tankable.

            OKC actually appeared to be a good play both technically and situationally. I knew this whole playoff stuff would drown some of us at some point. OKC needed the game in the hunt for a better playoff position. But then...

                Was thinking same thing

                Thought OKC was good play but decieded last night after beating I've been taking to wait until playoffs. To unprecitable at the end of the season teams are coming for the upset, to distrupt the playoff teams rhythm going in. Playoffs aren't far off going to try and make killing then. Good luck rest of regular season if you can't wait.

                  I think I played the Thunder in that Streak For Cash prop bet. They were up, like, 30 in the 1st.

                  But 7 points is too much on the road. Golden State's season has been over for a long time now but they never mailed it in. 8 points was rather generous for them.

                    I think there are still some good plays out there if you play the ML. Won't make as much but San Antonio, Dallas, and Denver seem like pretty good bets. Of course the lines won't be very good except maybe the Denver game, but hit all three and you'll see some nice gains.

                    Also really like Orlando -3.5 @ Indiana. Magic need to win and the Pacers have no one at all to defend Howard.

                      Haven't played a game in a couple days, so glad baseball came so I didn't have to waste money on NBA.

                          Not so easy. At home, Indiana is a giant killer when healthy.
