Who's with me in picking the Thunder ML vs LA tonight? - IN GAME DISCUSSION

**Mac4Lyfe** · 04-20-10, 08:42 PM

BOL TG... I'm laying off this one but think the Laker's are going to show up big. Westbrook will be the key tonight. Can Fisher contain him? Tough call.

**The General** · 04-20-10, 08:45 PM

Props: The largest lead of the game will be 16½

What are your opinions on this prop?

I am picking Durant minus 2½ points over Bryant in scoring.

Opinions welcome

Thanks

I don't know. Weren't the Lakers up by more than that in Game 1? If the Lakers jump out to a double digit lead I could see the Thunder sort of throwing in the towel. At the same time, maybe they're too young to throw in the towel.

LA players said game plan was to shutdown Durant and make the other Thunder beat em so Okla knows what they need to do. Then if some others get their shots to fall, that'll open it up a little more for Durant. Shot in the dark, but I'm pickin against LA tonight in hopes my Guess is correct.

Would love to see the Thunder win tonight, if Durant gets back on track they can win game 2.

In hopes that LA is a little cocky here and let down a bit much with the attitude they are superior.

Based on LA's lackluster play all year, OKC is a quality pick but You never know what your going to get with LA. It could be very close or it could be a blowout. They are hard to figure. OKC is a solid bet because LA is so inconsistent but with the inclusion of Bynum it really opens LA's bench play. LA is much longer than OKC which causes problems. I don't think OKC has enough scorers in the half court either.

My head tells me that the Laker's are going to blow OKC out by about 15 points but the -6.5 opening line is a kiss of death for faves which makes this a no play for me. I'm going to probably take a 2nd half line based on both teams play.

I wish you the best and it has value but I'd also play the points as well just in case

I like the Durant prop but not the largest lead over. I think it may get up to 14 or 15 but not more.

after celtic trap n possible suns trap, i stay away from this famous trap line.

**wantitall4moi** · 04-20-10, 09:47 PM

Lakers took a lot of ML money right before tip off after Okc had taken bits and chunks for most of the day. Spread didnt really reflect the ML money as much as one would think. So it looks like it was straight up win action. Not sure if that means anything or not, but I saw ML for OKC top out at +258, think it actually closed at +250.

**The General** · 04-20-10, 09:56 PM

Wanti, you tihink a lot of that late ml was chasers?

So in your mind 3 of the 4 spreads tonight were traps? Or is that only if the side you're on loses?

i dont have the proof for you coz i'm not tracking my play anyway, but i'm pulling out from miami ML at last sec (roy-less blazer game 1 n injury-plagued utah game 2 show me enough) n hit the over, while phoenix game, i hit enough from the first game n stay away too. so, yeah, 2 of 4 spreads tonite just seems too easy n the other (lakers) seems nice to me, but after those 2 lines, i stay away (1-0 is better than 1-1)

Not sure I just watched it take 3 big hits in a half hour then another one that topped it off abuot 3 minutes after the game was supposed to tip off, then some buys for OKC once they hit 258 which changed right when tip off occurred.

**yisman** · 04-20-10, 10:29 PM

they just showed a replay of a play where a Laker was saving the ball and threw it back inbounds directly to Durant (I think) and Durant took his hands out of the way and let the ball go to another Laker.

I don't get it. They're gifting you the ball and you don't want it?

**zigomanisinsider** · 04-20-10, 10:30 PM

this guy on crack if he thinks okc going to win tonight

**Kemalettin** · 04-20-10, 10:31 PM

im on over tonight..let do this!

**williams22** · 04-20-10, 10:40 PM

Sefolosha is doing a great job on Kobe right now. I love his energy and Ibaka's too.

**williams22** · 04-20-10, 10:46 PM

Kobe's such a bitch, any other player would have been T'd up for that fit he just threw.

Can't argue with that.

**qbettran** · 04-20-10, 10:57 PM

thunder money line looking good! but lakers giving 5- second half. i need the lakers to be 4of 4 tonight and to hit a 3 team teaser.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 04-20-10, 11:00 PM

WTF is going on in this game? Last I was watching the Laker's were up like 7 points. I turned to the Suns game and their down at the half??? What's the 2nd half play fella's?

**williams22** · 04-20-10, 11:04 PM

Charles just called Kenny and Ernie assholes on TV.

**beanbag** · 04-20-10, 11:07 PM

nice this would be sweet if they pull it out!

**NickS8753** · 04-20-10, 11:10 PM

if they pull it out i am in the money..........

**Bankroll$10** · 04-20-10, 11:20 PM

sorry but the lakers are winning this one

**williams22** · 04-20-10, 11:33 PM

More whining from Kobe...

**eviltsi** · 04-20-10, 11:34 PM

playig some nice defense, but need to hit the glass harder (part of westbrook being limited). love the young team getting some calls too

**williams22** · 04-20-10, 11:46 PM

Kobe just swung at Green, what a bitch. Any other player in the league would be T'd by now.
