This season, this is not NBA, this is not basketball. This is some kind of miserable porn. 99% of matches are fixed. I can't believe what happen. See all games tonight, see Detroit, see Celtics, Spurs, see Nuggets, see Houston yesterday, see GSW now, they do eveything best to lost this game are they're just idiots who score more three points than free throws, who every single moment when they can, they foul OKC players. During 2nd quarter for 2 minutes at the end they made 7 fouls?! I really can't watch this anymore

Long term lurker, but I decided to sign up and reply.

1) Detroit, Nuggets (at home) and Celtics are bad beats.

Sure.

But lets look at the following teams:

*) GSW vs OKC

GSW

a) they can't throw free throws
b) They are a good jump shooting team. BUT as another poster said, they go through large scoring droughts.
c) They commit a lot of turn overs.
d) Not amazing defensively...GSW ARE overrated. Steph Curry 3s were the only thing keeping them in the game.

OKC are at home, the line is at +1, and are extremely good defensively. Free money.

Houston = same problem

Match up 2:

Spurs Vs Portland Trail Blazers.

What did you expect? PTB are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. I am a big spurs fan, but I stayed away from that game.
