Bad spot for my Thunder tonight

[BigDofBA]

Looks like Over was the bet...

Way too early say. This is the NBA.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Thunder 2nd half or do they just roll over all game?

Clips making the statement

Thunder 2nd half or do they just roll over all game?

I would only take OKC if you can get them at +10 or better for the game.

OKC doesn't have it tonight and they aren't going to get any favors from the refs. If the second half line is like -5 or -6. I wouldn't do it.

[BigDofBA]

I warned you guys.

[CheeseHead]

Still wouldn't bite on them for the 2nd half with them being down by 18?

[BigDofBA]

No. I said dont take them if it's -5 or -6.

It's -5.5. Lol.

They could cover but I don't feel it's that good of a bet.

Watch them cut to 10 to start the 4th and still lose by 14.

I'm definitely rooting for them but I'm not holding my breath.

bigd i knew what u meant when u gave the warning right away. hard to quantify it or explain it, but if you watch and follow a team very closely and have lived in the same city etc you kind of know when a spot is bad for them. i get it.
also i think ppl are overvaluing b2b's. someone else in the thread mentioned it already, but if u r making plays largely based on b2b scheduling or solely on that, you are going to get pummelled, ive noticed this over the yrs.

[jabro21]

additionally its even more appetizing to couple a b2b with a hard fought game, and think u r taking it to the bank. yesterday lac, chi, minn and sas all fought "hard battles" and played tonight against rested teams and ALL FOUR handled their opponent, in chi's case winning by 10 and covering the line. I overstate this cause I spent yrs overvaluing b2b and certain aspects of scheduling. it should be used alongside other variables, and not as basis

just get a view of cumatmebrah thread. if he keeps posting fades its as good as gold

Thanks man. It sucks because I can't bet against my team but I almost always can feel when they're going to lose. It's almost like I get in a rhythm with the team. LOL.

When the Clippers come to OKC, if OKC is -5 or -5.5 like I think they should be, hammer OKC.

[wantitall4moi]

I will be there.

Conventional wisdom just isnt working this year. Back to back games teams lose first win second. Or they win all 3 of a back to back to back. Crazy. Might get more realistic as season wear on and guys wear down.

OKC has a pretty fake record they have played a lot of shitty teams even their road games have been against cupcakes. The best team they have beaten is Houston Rockets. So that tells you what you need to know right there.

I wouldnt be surprised if Clippers blow them right out of Staple tonight.

This guy is pretty smart.

[jabro21]

you need to get over that. they get paid no matter what, you always look out for yourself first. im from boston and will be rooting for the pats this sunday, but if i thought with any type of certainty that the giants were the play, I'd take them. would i root for the giants? no, but i wouldnt back away from an intelligent play that i was certain about.

That dude's got a knack!

[BigDofBA]

Another bad spot, however, I think this game will be close at the end.

Dallas in a close one.

[fastball00]

Like OKC here... think they win by 6

[PREMOSIX]

Bad spot? Clips played in Denver last night which is never an easy place to bounce back from and play the next night.

thats why i had okc and they dropped an absolute dud and cost me $1000 plus they had 2 days rest to get ready for lac

[BigDofBA]

I told everyone they were going to lose big before the game. They're my team. I actually follow them....

I really liked Dallas until I found out Haywood is out. He is the one guy on their team that they can't really replace. Dallas has good depth at all positions, except the center. Mahimi is solid, but who backs up Mahimi now?

[BigDofBA]

Yeah. Im not as sure about this game as I was about the LA game.

Dallas is definitely not the team they were lost year. They lost a lot of "glue" guys.

I still think Dallas wins though. Hope I'm wrong.
