Lets Discuss The Two Late Games (LAL/PHX and DEN/OKC)

[Speedy88]

Thoughts on these games. I know people are going to want some late night action.

I'm thinking Suns +3 (gonna buy the half point here) and I'm undecided on OKC. I honestly think OKC will blow them out but i'm a bit hesitant. The line seems a little low IMO. OKC just blew out GS by 20+ the other night, and I think it could be that same type of game. There is RLM on it, as the line opened at OKC -9 and dropped to OKC -8 with roughly 75% on OKC. But I think the books know OKC is going to win by double digits, so they are trying to get those RLM lovers to jump on Denver. If I remember correctly, I believe there was RLM on the GS/OKC game, and OKC still blew them out. And to be plain honest, Denver just isn't that great of a team. I think they miss the playoffs this year. They were regressing before the injuries of Gallo and Nene. I saw them in person when they played Portland a couple weeks ago and they looked average at best.

Thoughts?

I agree with you on both of those games so I would be careful...

I'm playing the Suns but I'm not touching OKC.

Yeah I think I'm going to lay off OKC. Suns looks nice. That line hasn't budged all day and the public is pounding LAL. Suns are a really solid team, and they can easily outscore the inept offense of the Lakers. And Suns have the size to matchup with Bynum and Gasol.

If only PHX had a better bench i'd like them even more. Two really bad benches will be on show in the 2nd quarter.

That OKC line is over 210....

That seems high.

probably means it goes over then.

Went 1 & 3 today. Lost a 1 unit play, lost a 10 unit play, and lost a 100 unit play. All is quickly forgiven. Was very close to taking the Lakers, and then very close to taking OKC -8. Just a brutal day for me, so went with the easiest sure thing. Though it wasn't that easy, and am actually lucky Denver cannot close out a game. Seemed like they're 5 individuals out there as oppose to 1 team, even though Nugs had more rebounds and assists.

Am thrilled to have won thousands last month, and will be up thousands more this month. No more plays over 10 Units for the rest of this month. Locking in the winnings:
