Magic vs. Thunder

Pauulzcappin · 02-25-11, 04:04 AM

Howard should have a field day, if Perk OR Mohammed were to play, I'd pound the fukk out of this.

BayArea888 · 02-25-11, 04:12 AM

i like okc actually.

FilletMaster · 02-25-11, 04:24 AM

liking the thunder to keep it close win or lose and cover.

Stinger · 02-25-11, 04:26 AM

Expecting the Thunder to at least cover here, will sprinkle a little on the ML

Like OKC here... They do extremely well coming off of losses but they've got a diff't team now. It's almost impossible to predict how a team responds to a shake up like this. They could easily use it as motivation or play lethargic because they just lost a good friend and teammate in Jeff Green. Guess we'll see but I'm sitting this one out. Don't like gambling on teams that could go either way.

Was gonna say magic to win dont know the spread I imagine it would be -7 which is ridiculous considering they lost to sac but not sure now I think Perkins and Robinson add an extra dimension to the thunder's game. Just checked and it is -7 go get ****** bookies you robbing *****. That's a joke of a line.

Wouldn't bet this game but I'd take thunder with the start. Which magic side rocks up? the one that creamed the lakers or the one that creamed themselves vs the kings?

Cap dat 4ss · 02-25-11, 04:56 AM

Perkins won't be playing, sprained ligament. Not sure but I would think Nazr and Nate will play. Ibaka will start, so it should be Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka/Sefolosha/Harden... Pretty much who they've been starting all year with the exception of Harden. They should be competitive

kobstopa · 02-25-11, 06:22 AM

I think Magics will regroup and do whatever it take to win at home & OKC will play hard on this one too, this could be a closed game

ICE-BLOOD · 02-25-11, 07:03 AM

magic coming off a loss against the sac kings

should bounce back big

Vulcan300 · 02-25-11, 08:21 AM

OKC underdogs look good, esp against spurs a few days ago but something tells me magic might actually do work this time. hmm. if wallace is playing i like blazers a lot.

gv12 · 02-25-11, 08:23 AM

good luck today noco

og4667 · 02-25-11, 08:25 AM

spurs were -7 vs the Thunder and now the Magic who are not nearly as good as the Spurs are -7 vs the Thunder. Revenge game for the Magic and coming off bad loss to the Kings. Line is very telling, lean Magic -7 or nothing

portnoy65 · 02-25-11, 08:44 AM

Okc rules :d

aireent777 · 02-25-11, 09:51 AM

Minny line opened at 5.5 and went as high as 6.5 but now as David West is expected to miss the game, line down again to 5.5 and probably might close at 4. Anyone confirms this?

aireent777 · 02-25-11, 10:28 AM

Minny line is now down to 5.

This. Magic win big.

EddieMony · 02-25-11, 10:51 AM

Good luck with your plays.

aireent777 · 02-25-11, 10:53 AM

Could anyone confirm David West being out?

aireent777 · 02-25-11, 11:00 AM

You and 83% of public are tempted as well...the line is high for a reason. I also have another reason for picking magic which I wont reveal here.

Broken-Ear Glen · 02-25-11, 12:05 PM

Only way Hornets can score is through West. Gotta love T-Wolves.

Can't back OKC until they get acquainted with the new teammates. I wanna see how they adjust to Green gone. Plus, I can't see Orlando coming out flat tonight.

"We've been talking for a long time -- all we seem to do is talk," Howard said. "We have a lot of talent, but talent won't win you championships. You get to the finals, both teams are very talented. That's how they got to the finals. But hard work, commitment-every play, every night is what gets you the championship.

"We're one of the most talented teams in the NBA. We're a deep team, we have guys that can do a lot of different things, but if you don't bring it, it's a waste of talent."

demens · 02-25-11, 12:19 PM

Great game to take Thunder ML and hedge live imo. Thunder has plenty of firepower to make up for Green missing, Nick Collinson is an underrated guy, him and Ibaka can bang with Howard enough to keep Thunder in it. Magic are sooo streaky i just think there is no chance they lead this game from start to finish, there will be a change to take Magic ML at +money at some point in this game.

Perg · 02-25-11, 12:23 PM

i actually like the thunder in this game getting 7... It's clear this year that orlando IMO is falling off, everybody always says howard is going to have a big game, ya he is a beast but his supporting cast is weak. If their not hitting 3's and dwight gets in foul trouble they are completely a medicore team. Serge is athletic enough to try and contain dwight, obviously Howard will still get his numbers. Also really like the move OKC made at the trade deadline adding toughness to a pretty soft team.

Power Play · 02-25-11, 12:35 PM

Magic is in a major motivational spot with the embarrassing home loss to Sacramento and Dwight Howard calling out teammates. That said this Magic team is overrated all season especially at home so it's risky taking them.

zacblack · 02-25-11, 05:47 PM

Im on the under . The Total has gone Under in 10 of the last 14 meetings between these two teams ' Including 5 of the last 6 at Orlando . Also the total has gone under in 5 of the magic last 7 games and 9 their last 13 at home . Plus it's a public fade with 62% on the over.
