Anyone esle like this like I do? Thunder will want to take back home court just like the Bulls did today. But Thunder have to play Memphis and those two beasts. Thunder are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Home team definitely have the edge and Memphis will be rockin', but I think the Thunder cana get it done. Big plus - Ibaka will be back!

Huge difference between OKC/MEM and CHI/ATL. The Hawks have zero chance against the Bulls. Grizz are 6-1-1 ATS in the playoffs and have been really tough at home. Thunder are still the better team, but it's going to be an intense game.Originally posted by forzuto13
I kind of wonder how the flooding in Memphis will affect the Grizzlies mentality. Players are spearheading a major effort with the American Red Cross to gather donations for the people that have been displaced, and they're really promoting their ties to the community. Among the things that are being done is the donation of multimedia equipment to numerous relief shelters in the area so the people can watch the game and I think we're going to see an unreal amount of motivation and energy in the Grizzlies gameplay. It really adds another dimension to a team playing for their community.

,ephis is the play....then o city on monday 2-2 series.Comment -
Interesting element noted by SK with the floods. That could add to the level of support for team but I still think Okl City will be motivated to get home court back. I'll probably play money line and some on the spread too.Comment -
I like OKC in this spot as well. They will be motivated to come out and get home court. I think game 4 will be more in question. Best of luckComment -
When was the last time Memphis lost a home game that mattered? Also what is Memphis' home record as a fav?Comment -

No not as a fav, but as a fav @ home.

Wanting it and getting it are two different things...Memphis will cover the spread esp at home and with the extra motivation as mentioned by suicidekings...Comment -
Hard to pick with Memphis at home.Comment -
22-12 ATS as a home fave this season, and 2-0 in the playoffs.Originally posted by HoulihansTX
I feel like the Grizzlies are not going to be denied today. The win in OKC means nothing if they fail to protect their own home court, and telling thousands of people displaced by floods that they're playing for them is a powerful motivator. It may not be pretty and might be decided in the final seconds, but Memphis will get it done today.Comment -
good luck

I can't watch this. Okl City blowing a huge lead and now in O.T. I'm cooked.Comment
