    Neither team is playing consistent ball right now, so it's hard to say what happens in this one. I would lean to the Grizz 2H but i'm just sticking to my original wager. Too much up in the air here to be confident in either side.

    OKC defensive strategy has been great, clogging up the paint and the Grizz haven't adjusted. Big difference between the two. Thunder now in the penalty with 7:30 left in the 3Q and LOTS of game left to play.

    The biggest failure of the Grizz today is in defensive rebounding. The Thunder are just walking in and taking the ball.

    Zero effort from Memphis. They look like Denver did in their first home game vs. OKC.

    Makes you wonder.

    Live Betting has them +10 3:30 left in the 3rd and Ibaka just went out hurt......

    They might not win but covering the 10.... very possible

    Wonder about what?

    It's just Memphis being too rigid and one dimensional in their gameplan. It was obvious from the beginning that the Thunder were going to prioritize keeping the Grizz out of the paint but Memphis just didn't adapt. In the few halfcourt sets they've run, they've been much more successful. I don't have the numbers but i suspect that the Thunder have a huge edge on second chance points here.

    Taking Memphis +anything right now is not a good bet. Save your money.

    Randolph is being poison to this Memphis team right now, acting like a spoilt teenager. Showing up 60 mins before the game said it all.

    Memphis needs to have Mayo or Battier in the game at all times, because they are their only shooters. Right now OKC is just packing their defense in the paint because they know all Memphis wants to is just pound the paint.

    You need to have an outside threat to make the defense respect you, if not they are just going to sit back in the paint all day.

    They're simply being out-worked.

    Night and day difference from Game 1.

    With this in mind, I wonder how much money the books have taken in today on spreads of OKC -4 and greater in live betting? I would guess a LOT.

    Gasol had 4 looks at the basket within 15 feet and he didn't even look at it.....

    However my +10 is looking solid at the moment

    There was a substantial portion of this game where the Thunder were looking almost invincible and the smallest line available on the Thunder since the 2Q was OKC -4 until OKC -6.5 was available in the 4Q a few minutes in. Not to mention 2H bets. I watch the lines throughout the game and for the most part the action was going OKC's way (at least at Pinnacle). I think during the regular season the live bets are probably less common for public bettors but a saturday evening during the playoffs on a nationally televised game.. they probably see a lot more live action from casual bettors.

    I LOVE betting on the home team in the 3Q when they are down. There are certain places that when the building gets rocking the team just starts rolling....

    With that said... Take the Bulls tomororw ALL DAY because Atlanta is done...they have no crowd.... the players look like Rose took their heart last night... game 1 was just an anomoliy

    I'm so tempted to hedge right now with the Thunder ML but I'm just going to sit on it. You could never really adequately describe the bipolar nature of this game to someone that's not watching it...
