Clippers/Thunder In-Game Thread

The consolation is at least okc is 'only' down 17 points now.

[FSUnole05]

lookin for OKC to cut the lead in half in the first 6 min of the second half. please remember i am not nostradamus... just a gut feeling

They probably get it down to 10-12 at some point but won't be enough.

[SP23]

Took OKC ML with small bet at +925, hope they return in the match

[kaliboyz]

Griffin foul at the end of 1st half costed me $250 fu*cking stupid bi*tch.

Mavs did it and still lost by more than what down at half yesterday

[FSUnole05]

how can LA keep shooting at that... clip?

[SharkAA]

OKC sucks...can't see, how they turn around this disaster. Thinking about watching Quack Quacks vs. Kings.

[jsdjason]

I got clips at +5.5 before the game. Should've taken ML! Anyone trying to middle it with Thunders +9.5?

[cryptocap]

they better turn off and sit on the bench...stop scoring and play some D

[Pauulzcappin]

if okc comes back books get buried. im pretty sure they wont even get within 5. they just dont have enough stops in them.

Ive got 1k on clips plus 6. Keep thinking of middling but figure a 23 point swing in second half is near impossible in high octane game like this

High octane games are a lot easier to have 23 point swings

Yep, one of those lines where books hope you take OKC.

Yeah I understand. I'm not sure I have much faith in the Thunder, although I don't think the Clips will score 69 again! Thunder would need at least 60 in the 2nd half to cover IMO as Clips will score at least 50. Not sure which side I'd even take at this point.

[mcdonae101]

Not imo. Clips have to score under 40 entire second half for okc to even have chance, even then it's a stretch

[Olemiss_Rebfan]

over or under second half 108?

[jtoler]

Clips mostly outside shooting, not much Blake and Deandre, Doc may focus on them in 2nd half, youd think he would, it slows the game down and keeps the pressure on OKC, jumpshots could end up bailing OKC if Clips keep that up, with this lead, Clips bigs wont be getting as much benefit of the doubt on calls, will also be interesting to see Westbrook possibly extending the deficit with erratic play lol.

#1) Sport : NBA Basketball
Selection : Los Angeles Clippers 5/5/2014 6:43PM - (PST) Team Total Points OVER 50 -110 for 2nd Half
Risking : 1,100.00 To Win : 1,000.00 USD

this number seems a bit low, even the clippers bench has the ability to score and I don't think doc will change the game plan and try to run out the clock, didnt see him doing it very often in the regular season and the deficit might be to large for Brooks to play the half court game...I expect a big 2nd half

[jsdjason]

The more I look at it the more Clips -9.5 looks good. I already have so much on the Clips though and I think I can get a better price when OKC makes a run to start the 3rd. So no play for now.

[da_hustla]

Chuck with the great point that Russ is taking CP3's explosion personally, and starts unnecessarily forcing things on the offensive end in retaliation. He was playing wayyy too fast and forcing things. It was playing right into LAC's hands. If he's going to take it personally, he should try to shut CP3 down on defense

I'm with you on that, but it was already 51 before I could get it.

Tricky, I can see alot of driving by OKC to get to the line and stop that clock, dribble drive and kick, but kick to who lol, Sefalosha isnt consistent neither is Butler, although they can knock it down. I can see the get tightening up on one hand, gonna take quite a bit of calls in OKC's favor. They gotta get stops, Clips arnt great defensively so.

sure looks like a great night to you. is that a 5dimes line?

[jtoler]

These NBA players kill me, blatant pushing on rebounds and get upset when they get called for a foul.

[Pauulzcappin]

westbrook is straight up cancer.

[jtoler]

CP3!

I'm making a large bet on the Clippers to win the series after this game. Kicking myself for not taking it before Game 1. OKC looks hopeless.

[TheCentaur]

CP3 shooting 94% with 27 points unreal

[stefan084]

what does Perkins do? can never understand how he's in the nba

[STAX]

Clippers have the best coach, the best PG, and the TWO best inside players on the court. I don't know how they can lose this series. Game 1's are the most meaningless game of a 7 games series though

[JIBBBY]

CP3 shooting lights out.. I guess his hammy is feeling better... LOL....

Put clips and wiz in b4 2days games to win series at 1k each.

[The Kraken]

This has nothing to do with Westbrook, Perkins, the refs or anyone OTHER than the Clippers playing out of their minds.

There are two silver linings here, as a thunder fan

1.) The Clippers cannot play any better and OKC can't play too much worse.

2.) Even if Lob City wins by 50, it's only one win. Remember, OKC lost the first two at home to the Spurs a few years ago and came back to win four in a row. So the core of this team is experienced.

Those are my only two observations. And this game is fixing to get chippy

[Pauulzcappin]

thunder also kinda getting robbed here. so many weird foul calls.
