Oklahoma City -145 ML NBA GAME OF THE YEAR LOCKED

I already hit my NBA total of the year, college basketball game of the year, NBA team total of the year and now I am going for my NBA game of the year. Wish me luck everyone. Please leave all the hate and jynx's outside of here.

OKC ML -145 NBA GAME OF THE YEAR LOCKED Ok so the Lakers roll into OKC tomorrow night with a 2-0 lead in the series. The first game wasn't very competitve in LA. The Lakers built up a quick lead in the 1st quarter and never relinquished it winning the game by 8 points. Game 2 was a very different story, the Thunder did not come out as nervous and competed with the Lakers til the very end. The Thunder had a great chance to pull of the upset despite Westbrook being in foul trouble all game.

The line opened up as Thunder -2. This is the first time in OKC history they are favored vs the Lakers. Their past home lines vs LAL were +1, +7.5, +7.5. The Thunder were +1 on 3/26/2010 and won the game outright 91-75. According to SportsInsights Paid Subscription, the public is hot on the Lakers at around 60%. The line has responded to the public on LA by going from -2 OKC to -3.5, big 1.5 point reverse line movement.

The NBA does not want this series to end quickly. They want to see more of KD vs Kobe because it is good for the ratings and every NBA fan loves watching this matchup.I fully expect OKC to get a ton of calls. Ron Artest has done A TON of HOLDING on Durant this seires. The refs are not going to let that fly in OKC and I see Artest getting in foul trouble very quickly and having to be a lot less aggressive defensively with Durant.

OKC has obviously lost their last two games in a row. They have not lost three games in a row since late January. That is three months since they last lost 3 in a row.

Ok here is the clincher for me on this game. I went back to check out how these current Lakers fared after going up 2-0 in a playoff series. These are the game 3's on the road for the Laker results after going up 2-0.

4-23-2009 @ UTAH 88-86 LOSS
6-9-2009 @ ORL 108-104 LOSS
4-26-2008 @ DEN 102-84 WIN (Lakers swept them, this Den team was way worse than OKC)
5-9-2009 @ UTAH 104-99 LOSS
5-25-200 @ SA 104-83 LOSS

Why am I taking ML -145? Vegas has been so sharp and if you look at those losses above you will notice that a few of the games were realtively close. I lost a huge play on Bulls -1.5 the other night and swore that the next game I love I would take ML. I do not want to risk taking the spread and having OKC win and me lose or not win anything at all.

Here are some interesting quotes I found. I find the first one to be very interesting. Kobe is admitting this will be a tough series. He said this after game 2. That immediately implies to me that OKC probably won't go down 0-3.

"It felt good," Bryant said. "They had our attention. We know it’s going to be a tough series."

"I'm getting the looks I want, they're just not falling," said Green, who finished just 2-for-11 shooting and 1-for-6 from 3-point range after going 4-for-12 the previous game. "But I'm still confident in my shot and I'm going to continue to shoot them and they're going to drop when I go home."

Game 3 will be in Oklahoma City on Thursday and will be no easy task.
"That place is going to be rocking and rolling," Bryant said. "These young guys play with a lot of energy here so multiply that by 10. The last time [a 91-75 loss] we were up there they did a number on us. We are well aware of what they are capable of and how explosive they are. It's going to be exciting."

**sweetjones55** · 04-21-10, 11:53 AM

OKC just jumped to -3 at almost every offshore sportsbook.

**quick$** · 04-21-10, 12:22 PM

You have been pretty solid when you one of these big play.
Will have to give serious consideration to your pick. BOL

**strybie** · 04-21-10, 12:40 PM

I am on it too

**phillybadboy** · 04-21-10, 01:07 PM

i'm on lakers money line, we'll see later

**jboy4** · 04-21-10, 01:36 PM

Like this pick as well.

Of course you are..

**Wojf** · 04-21-10, 01:57 PM

Being from OKC I really like this play. Thunder play like a team on fire at home and should be the deciding factor after a close game 2 in LA. I will be on this play too so good luck to both of us.

**tokio** · 04-21-10, 02:53 PM

this might turn out to be a no-play for me but if you get this...i will tail you every big play you make. G/L SJ

**sweetjones55** · 04-21-10, 04:45 PM

I had to edit a bit of my writeup. The public is now officially on the Lakers at right around 60%. I got this info from the SportsInsights paid subscription so you don't need to wonder if it's accurate or not. The line has reacted to the public liking LAL by now going from OKC -2 to OKC -3.5, big reverse line movement.

**million2one** · 04-21-10, 06:15 PM

I would also hammer Thunder 1st half for game three.

**joe.park** · 04-21-10, 06:24 PM

Agree, OKC wins and then series finishes 4-1.

**kobefanatic** · 04-21-10, 09:39 PM

okc laying -3.5 to la is telling us who to pick, okc wins this easily

**scarface0800** · 04-21-10, 09:51 PM

Bol with your play, thunder will win this game, good pick!

**HustleGetPaid** · 04-21-10, 09:54 PM

You are a MORON! Please take the Lakers so we can laugh at you when you are broke after the game tomorrow!

**LT Profits** · 04-21-10, 11:04 PM

I agree that the Thunder win this game straight up, but I think the Over 191 is a better bet than OKC -145 or -4. I think Thunder will force the pace at home and the Lakers won't play with the same defensive intensity with a 2-0 lead.

**LiarGame** · 04-21-10, 11:10 PM

I think OKC has a really chance of taking this game too. BOL to us.

**INVEGA MAN** · 04-21-10, 11:16 PM

I like them too

I agree with that one also...

**MrTwiz** · 04-21-10, 11:27 PM

Yeah but if OKC is up too much the lakers will pack it in being up 2-0 and wait for game 4. The over is hard here, but I still like it

Over becomes easier if Thunder score 105, which is conceivable this game.

**masr** · 04-21-10, 11:36 PM

Well call me crazy....I think LAKERS pull out another squeaker and Thunder take gm 4to avoid a sweep.... LAL -ML +150
Good luck everyone

Just the fact that the Lakers +150 is available should tell you THIS is the game the Thunder win. If the Lakers win this game, then they will sweep. I don't see that happening.
