Can Golden State cover?

Absolutely they can, this line is a bit high for an OKC team not playing that well. I would have pounded GSW here but after DD underdogs winning SU yesterday I am going to stay away because normally the next day the ebb and flow of things even out on a big spread either coming close or a runaway.

i like OKC instead. OKC inside is picking up the D. GS gona need lots 3 pts.

No play for me

Many squares including myself is on golden sweet warriors and taking the point. Don't be a square and go with what them experts are saying, OKC will cover because they are playing in OKC, NOT GSW.

Something that people are missing here. OKC is already locking in their 4th seed so how much are they willing to play tonight? Do they want a blow out or just a win is good enough? If you were OKC coach, what would you do?

If I'm a square coach, I'd bench my starters for the playoff if OKC be leading by 10 and watch a backdoor cover by GSW.

LOL

Id say its more than likely

BigJ · 03-29-11, 05:22 PM

Yes, they can cover. That's why I'm staying away!!!

HedBustah1 · 03-29-11, 05:23 PM

should be a good game i think, if i was playing it, i'd take the points

NBA_Brosuf · 03-29-11, 05:26 PM

I will repeat myself. If you are a square, you pick gsw. If you are sharp, you pick OKC.

Sharper like lakerboy is on okc. Have you not gotten the word? Buy okc with confidence.

I like GSW w/ points here. They match up well I think with OKC at all spots and Udoh has been extra special inside as of late. I think warriors going to keep it close tonight.

i like golden state covering

NBA_Brosuf · 03-29-11, 05:37 PM

Wow, the world is filled with squares. Everywhere I go, I see the same squares.

My biggest play for tonight is GSW by the way. Just 2U, thus all.

LOL

They can definitely cover, but I am taking my chances with OKC tonight. GS just plays so much worse on the road. Stylistically, the Thunder match up very well with the Warriors. As an above poster already mentioned, GS is going to HAVE to hit a bunch of 3's to stay in this.

Shark · 03-29-11, 05:39 PM

yea initially it looks like a lot of points, but gs is about ready for a clunker on the road i think

NBA_Brosuf · 03-29-11, 05:50 PM

gsw on the road +10

@ houston 112 +10 = 122
@ SA 96 +10 = 106
@ dallas 73 +10 = 83 Boooooo
@ suns 97 +10 = 107
@ sac 119 +10 = 129
@ nets 90 +10 = 100

So we see here that in order for OKC to win against the spread, either stop gsw from making the 100+ score by keeping them under 90 and for them to go over 100+ scores themselves.

OKC at home -10

portland 99 -10 = 88
mn 111 -10 = 101
utah 106 -10 = 96
TO 93 -10 = 83
charlotte 99 -10 = 89

So you see, once again, OKC at home in their last 5 games, they only put 2-3 triple digits games.

OKC needs to out perform by either stopping gsw from getting 100+ games to cover that giant spread. OKC is having problems with getting triple digits themselves.

Lets see the results after the game shall we?

I think GS can make this game really close and possibly pull off the upset. +10 play for me.

Qtip · 03-29-11, 06:26 PM

They can cover, hell they could win. But they are a horrible road team. When you take GSW on the road you are just playing heads or tails. At +11 there might be a slight value from the fact the number is so high even if they don't show up at all they could still squeeze out a backdoor cover.
