THUNDER is the play tomorrow.

[sweetjones55]

Just realized there is some playoff motivation for OKC tonight. They are only 3 games back of Dallas. Dallas has a tough schedule ahead of them too. They play @LAC tonight then have to play @LAL on back to back. They then play @GS and @PORT. Then they come back home but they would have to play Denver. They then play LAC and PHX at home. Then finish @ HOU and with N.O at home. So basically half of their remaining games are against playoff teams and two games are against the hottest team in the league LAL.

[sweetjones55]

Also just noticed that other than Durant, not a single player on the team played longer than 37 minutes despite going into overtime yesterday. Perkins played 31 minutes, Ibaka played 35 minutes, Westbrook played 37 minutes, Harden played 31 minutes, Cook played 20, Maynor played 16, Nazr played very well scoring 8pts, 8 rebs in 22 minutes. So basically everyone on this team played their normal amount of minutes yesterday with the exception of Durant.

The last time I checked....the Phoenix Suns are still a Professional NBA Basketball team.....the
game last night against Sacramento was a disgrace.......that can only act as a positive for the
Suns against Oklahoma..........

I have to think the Phoenix Suns will " man up " tonight and whack the Thunder real good...

ah......you know, kinda like Cleveland did to Miami last night.........

[bowers1989]

going with the thunder tonight.

[dude_bg]

i might buy it down to -2 to be safe waiting for the line movement
or going to make a live bet on it

[lolbear]

Not to mention, didn't coach bench lopez and vince carter?

OKC for the win.

[fadeCOVERS4me]

The Suns are a disgrace, why would they man up tonight? They lost in triple OT to LAL. Then struggled with Toronto at home going into the 4th quarter tied. In the next game they had a chance to redeem theselves and man up vs a playoff team in N.O playing on b2b from Utah without West. Phoenix did not man up and they lost. They then had a big game vs Dallas. They had another chance for redemption, they didn't man up and they lost again despite leading all game. Then they play pathetic SAC and lead by 10, great chance for remdempion. They lost. You keep on waiting for Phoenix to man up, I'll be fading them.

Phoenix is 3-8 their last eleven games with wins vs LAC, GS, and TOR. A who's who of the worst teams in the league. OKC is on a tear winning eleven of their last 12 games. In the last two months and a half these are the Thunders losses, LAL ORL SA MEM and TOR. All of those teams are going to the playoffs except Toronto who they lost by two points only.

[Vaioice]

OKC is 1-7 ATS following a game in which they played OT.

[linedrivr]

OKC is 1-7 ATS following a game in which they played OT.

yes, that scared me off this game as well.

[t-wizzle]

Like the Suns in this spot. I think they win straight up.

[aman86]

I'm on it even if suns are up 8 like they were late last night they'll find a way to blow it

[thejrichshow85]

im on suns plus the points @home

[sweetjones55]

This Suns team isn't capable of "unleashing" on any playoff team, Goat. They are what their record indicates -- an aging virtual .500 team with a shitty coach playing their third game in four days.

I don't get what Phoenix team people are watching No Coin. Can anyone name one team above .500 in the month of March that Phoenix unleashed on? Show me one game where Phoenix came up big that should worry me about an encore. Their last win vs a team of OKC's caliber was over two months ago against Boston when they won 88-71. Two months ago. Mind you Phoenix played Boston with the Celtics on back to back, Celtics are the worst team in the NBA on back to back. So was that even a good win? Excluding that win you got to go back to January 14th when they beat Portland. That's almost 3 months ago.

I love how people think Phoenix is just not going to show up tonight. They will play hard and they are playing on their home floor. On top of that OKC is coming off an OT game last night.

Yeah, but Phoenix lost a demoralizing home game Sunday night, had Monday off, then got embarrassed on the road late last night against Sacramento to more or less finish their fading playoff hopes. I just don't see it, t-wizz.

Basically all you guys need is an OKC win straight up. Seems like easy money I guess.

I'm not playing the game, but I do think OKC wins (not sure about the cover).

[t-wizzle]

What are you taking nocoin? I'm thinking Clipps.

[No coincidences]

I don't like this for OKC (Greek):

MONEYLINES
03/30 11:15 -165 / +145
03/30 12:57 -155 / +135
03/30 18:30 -150 / +130

I'm leaning Clippers as well; just think DAL does enough to get by with a big game tomorrow.

I'm on Denver -12.5, OKC under, MIL under and POR under. I also think Memphis covers and possibly Toronto. Not really crazy about anything else; big card, but not a clear-cut one.

[sweetjones55]

THUNDERRRR!!!!

[sweetjones55]

Thunder -1.5 -125 LOCKED (x3) WINNER!!

I am rolling with OKC playing against the Suns in Phoenix tomorrow. OKC has been rolling as of late winning 9 of their last ten games. Only loss was by 2 points. Phoenix on the other hand has been faltering going 3-7 their last ten games.


The Suns have been horrible their last 28 games. They are 13-15 and listen to the teams they were able to beat. LAC, GS three times, HOU, MIL, NJ, IND, TOR, UTAH two times, Milwaukee and ATL. All of those wins have something in common. They beat teams that are not making the playoffs and are below .500 teams. The only win against a playoff team up there was ATL and I don't think many teams in the NBA are playing as badly as the Hawks are play, they are really garbage. Every time PHX plays a playoff team recenly they lose. They lost to DAL, NO, LAL, ORL, DEN, BOS, DAL, OKC. Even in their wins against crappy teams, they don't really look so hot. They beat NJ by 1 point in OT. They beat INDY by 2 poitns in OT. They beat Utah by 1 point and didn't cover. When they beat Houston, it was a close game and they didn't cover. They haven't beaten any team +10 games above .500 like OKC in months.

The Suns own coach is calling their playoff chances "a miracle".
"At the end of the day we've put ourselves in a position where we're not mathematically eliminated but it would take a miracle for us to make the playoffs." Gentry said.

Gortat said pretty much the same thing after the Dallas loss.
"After this game, I don't think we're going to be talking about playoffs this year anymore," he said.

Gentry already said he's not going to play Hill and Nash a lot of minutes anymore now that the year is over.Gentry said he has discussed the situation with Nash and 38-year-old Grant Hill, and both want to keep playing.

"But I won't play them long stretches," Gentry said. "Those guys have given everything. I know they're dedicated and they want to keep playing. But I don't think it would make sense to play those guys 35-38 minutes a game if we're mathematically eliminated."

This team has given up. They had a chance to make the playoffs but lost in triple OT to LAL, lost to N.O who was on b2b from high altitude Utah and without David West, then they led all game vs Dallas and still easily lost by 8. Steve Nash has already summed up the season as a "big disappointment" with 10 games left to play. Gentry has said he will be switching the lineups and rotations which will killl all chemistry. OKC is getting ready for the playoffs so they are going to play a tight rotation.

OKC on the other hand is right in the playoff run and rolling. They are playing as well as ever. They also matchup great with Phoenix. Gortat has been Phoenix best player as of late and they got Perkins to stick him. Westbrook will run circles around Nash. Hill and Dudley have no shot of stopping Kevin Durant. Sefolosha should limit Hill from scoring, he's an underrated defender. Ibaka is long and athletic enough to guard Frye at the 3 point line. OKC has a nice bench with Dequan Cook, Harden and Maynor providing an offensive spark. They also have two decent bigs of the bench with Mohammed and Collison. OKC should dominate on the inside and Phoenix will have to shoot themselves to a win which will be tough because Phoenix will be on back to back and they have been shooting well at all.

Offensively OKC is better in almost every category. PPG is about equal. OKC has a +4 point scoring margin. They are better on the fast break, better on the offensive glass, better on defensive rebounds, shoot more FT's, turn the ball over less and get more points in the paint. The only stat PHX has a slight edge is assists which is partly because they don't have a star like Durant and Russ who don't need to be passed to score. Defensively OKC is better in almost every category as well. They score more, shoot a better %, get more offensive rebounds, more defensive rebounds, block more shots, get more steals. Only category PHX has an edge is points in the paint and it's only a 1 point advantage (45-44).


Trends and stat wise I like this game as well.
Phoneix is 13-22 (37%) SU vs teams with a winning record.
Suns are 15-22 (40%) ATS at home, 1-4 (20%) ATS as homedogs of 0-3.
Phoenix is 9-18 (33%) ATS in revenge games.

I love cashing big 3 unit winners with 3 minutes left in the game, Thunder up 20! Easyyyy money. Suns just can't compete with elite teams in the league right now and did not care come 2H as I expected.

Glad I read this post last night doubled my small bankroll. Great call

I don't like this for OKC (Greek):
