    Why were the OKC Thunder only -4.5 against the lowly Warriors?

    I'm just curious. Best record in the league only -4.5 against the FREAKIN' Warriors. Laughable

    The funny thing is Vegas knew they made a mistake with that line and came out with -1.5 OKC 2H when they were up by 5 at HT making them -6.5 for game LOL

    wouldn't be surprised if GSW covers the spread, OKC has a tendency to play poorly in these road games vs bad teams

    Because enough dummies had their bets broken by GSW against the Cavs (average crap team) and Portland (bad road team) for Vegas to reel them in. It's a like the Mona Lisa, the GSWarriors look good from afar, but up close, YOU CALL DOWN THE THUNDER AND YOU GET BEAT.

    Close game 'til the end, admittedly, though.

    I took the best team in the West over a team that had "success" again a lazy road team the other night.

    Close game.

    The Wizards have talent and are capable of hanging with most NBA teams. Especially one having an off night.

    NBA is more than "This team is 11-4 and this team is 5-10 so the team with a better record must win." Match-ups and shooting percentage.

    Pf-Pa+home court = spread
    matchups and shooting % don't factor in

    The game was in Oakland. OKC power rating was about 8.5 points higher than GS, then you factor in home court, and you get OKC -4.5. How could it be anything else?

    Youre looking at hindsight, Thunder were doing good by just winning, laying 5.5 to the Warriors aint an automatic bet.
