MEM vs OKC Thoughts?

[bleek88]

Should be an interesting game. I think Memphis will be a little tired and OKC will thrive off of that. OKC wins tomorrow. What do you guys think?

[HoulihansTX]

Why would they be tired?

The Lakers have played in 4 straight NBA Finals. Should they finally be tired?

Stop thinking like that. These guys play basketball for a living, and have been doing it since they were in grade school.

I think MEM has enough to get past OKC but lose in the next round. NBA really pushing for OKC to be the next "up and coming" team though so who knows.

[bleek88]

Why would they be tired? hmm idk

[blackbox]

Take the over-way too low. 7 GAME series.

[texhooper]

memphis +6.5 is such a joke. this is a very easy no-look play to make as far as i'm concerned.

[moses27]

Okla city wins easy

[Monitor-Tan]

I'm leaning heavily on OKC.

[texhooper]

memphis would really have to drop the ball big time to not win this series. randolph owns this team, and i'm sorry, kendrick will help but you also got a guy by the name of gasol to contend with. i think okc has a better shot to beat the grizz than san an due to the point guard matchup and the durant factor, but if the grizz play grizz ball they're going to continue to frustrate the thunder like they have all season.

Line is pushing -7 at some books and don't get this line at all. I think the right line is -3.5, but what the f%^k
do i know.

texhooper: what are your thoughts on Celtics/Heat?

(sorry if I'm hijacking this thread)

btw: I agree with your breakdown, but... as Perkins so eloquently put it, "this is the nba". I think everyone should make their final bets at 9am Sunday.

But I agree, the +6.5 too much... one thing you didn't touch on... how is the Griz bench (personally I think Battier is so overrated, don't understand the bromance) vs the Thunder bench? I think that's the x-factor.

OK by 7

[NY Playa]

mia by 6 as well. favs tomorrow

[Avenger]

mia by 6 as well. favs tomorrow

What is with the Celtics mania? What is fueling it? It is a home game, and if they win, don't see them winning by more than a bucket or two.

Is there some wire service I'm missing? Everyone is positive Celtics will take it tomorrow. I think it's a coinflip series, ultimately decided by Stern, but Celtics had more value. But I do agree it'll go 7 games.

[Balco10]

Grizzlies have the deeper bench with Mayo and Battier. Why is Battier overrated???
Two young teams with Thunder having more experience from last year.
Regular season Memphis beat them 2-1.
W 110-105 at home
L 109-100 away
W 105- 101 OT away

[Balco10]

With that in mind the o/u 196 is right on with tougher D in the playoffs.

[meckis]

OKC will win series in 6 games imho

[lailalicious]

OKC -6.5 $$$$ BOL everyone early game today

[lailalicious]

I agree...I'm gonna have to go against everyone and take MIA @-5 (1U). I'm nervous, but I got screwed 04/10's game for picking the +6 Celtic line, lol time to get that $ back. GL

[qukubau]

oklahoma city will win the series.

[beyond]

[GAMBLOR777]

Memphis + the points is the play i'd say

[blinky88]

Memphis wins

[bradleysnyder]

Okc crushes today

[WIZARDOFBEANTOWN]

memephis was 3-1 ats in their season series vs oak city and the o/u was 4-0 on the over. I think memphis is playing witha lot of confidence right now and you got to take the points today they may not win out right but i think they stay with in the spread.6.5 i like the points

[SpreadSniper]

cheering for the Grizz, but think OKC wins

[MUHerd37]

I have the Thunder. Memphis has to play a real team now.
