What's the reason for taking Denver?

BigDofBA · 03-15-12, 07:59 PM

And yes, I realize teams always seem to cover after they lose one of their better players.

judging by the 2h line it looks like OKC backers, including myself, are fukkerd

load up on denver in the 2nd half. Ibaka perkins and durant with 3 fouls, they look to be overwhelmed here late in the half. OKC has that look of frustration. Looks like denver taking over in 2nd half

Thunder will win the game.

lakerboy · 03-15-12, 09:17 PM

I am going to hammer denver second hf

I want to go large on Denver 2H but i got ****** when i bet Orl 2H vs OKC a couple weeks ago

I think OKC wins the game. Anyone who watches them consistently knows they blow leads quite often. Such is the NBA. I just don't think Denver can pull it off.

I like OKC 2h.

BigDofBA · 03-15-12, 09:25 PM

As an OKC fan I can say that it looks like the Thunder are just going through he motions.

I definitely like Denver's energy right now.

Because it's the NBA. Nothing makes sense.

So true. Even if OKC jumps back out to a 14 point lead, I would expect them to win by 1 or lose. It's like it's been determined that they aren't covering tonight.

BigDofBA · 03-15-12, 09:58 PM

Well, 13 point lead heading into the 4th. Lets see if the "magic" happens.

I think they're fine. Nuggs are struggling badly and this is the first game back from a road trip. They look cooked.

BigDofBA · 03-15-12, 10:06 PM

Sometimes I think the books just through lines out there to bait people into taking a side.

I bet if OKC was like -5.5, a lot of the people that took Denver would have stayed away. With that said, a 15 point lead with 8 minutes left is nothing in the NBA.

If you watch baskets enough you knew this. Denver benefiting from a few suspect whistles and a bad run for OKC.

cwbuff44 · 03-15-12, 10:21 PM

I won't say I told you so... But...well yes I actually will say I told ya so haha.

OKC dominated 80% of this game and could have won by 20 if they didn't quit playing in the final 2 minutes of junk time.

People need to quit trying to be "sharp". I laugh my ass off when people jump all over the inferior team because they think it's smart and the public is on the other side.

This board loses their ass. It's as public as it gets. I pointed that out in the other thread. like 90% of this board loved Denver and they got dominated. Maybe Denver was the SQUARE side....

I got very tired of seeing all the Denver backers in here. Clearly was the "square" side. I didn't understand it. I don't pay attention to the public % and line movement and all that sh*t. Place a bet if it's a good game and a decent line. When I saw OKC as a PK against Denver and OKC was coming off a loss I was all over it. And they delivered like I thought they would.

You wouldn't say that if Denver won. Lol

That's why I posted this thread before the game.

No one had a good reason other than thinking it was a good play because OKC was the obvious side.

I have been pretty spot on with predicting Thunder games this year. That includes predicting their losses as well.

I actually keep up with the team every day and follow them while other people are betting against them without even knowing what's going on.

There have been several times this season when people take shit teams like Warriors against OKC because they are only +1. I have actually made threads saying it was a bad idea before the game. The Thunder cover and then I'm a homer all of the sudden.

Ironically, when I think OKC is going to lose, ibsee everyone and their Mother on the Thunder.

It's about situations. OKC did not want to drop two in a row. This is a young and hungry team. I've only seen them take a night off like two games this year.

OKC has won 9 of 10' against Denver, was coming off of a loss, and Nene just got traded. There was no good reason to take Denver.
