    OKC -12 vs. Knicks

    Would normally think about this twice considering the big 3 haven't really played together. But the fact that it's against Melo's team makes me know how everyone on the Thunder are gonna play. It'll just turn into a streetball type blowout.

    Knicks won't keep up.

    Thunder by about 24.

    Na

    Knicks roster bullshit. If they had a guy who could dribble I'd say yeah.

    Hardaway? All he can do is get his own. Doesn't playmake. Robertson will have 1 job. Defense.

    You're just reaching with Knicks ML cause you'll keep taking dogs first couple weeks which is a good strategy but this is not one of those spots

    Knicks players already all talked about "how bad Melo wants to win this game."

    Even the scrubs on OKC bench at home in home opener will perform.
    Would consider it luck if Knicks covered

    Bro Knicks PGS are

    Raymond Sessions, Jarett Jack, Ron Baker and Frank Ntilikina.

    Westbrook?

    You're done.

    Goat, you play many player props? Might have to run a few by you once they're posted.

    Line opened at -11 at 5D and -11.5 at Bookmaker.

    Been fluctuating to 12 and back to -11.5 and back to -12

    No telling what the line will do

    Not a fan of large lines early in the season.

    GOAT, if you see this game as being a blowout, what OKC players do you foresee getting increased minutes and having player prop value?

    I think early in the season best to fade teams incorporating new players. I could see OKC struggling for the first couple weeks.

    I think its tough to lay 12 with this OKC team, OKC is not well coached has no bench, the Knicks roster sucks, but its still better than the roster of the worst teams in the East such as the Bulls and Nets.

    It's going to be interesting how Westbrook plays with George and Anthony???

    He's use to doing all the work?!?!?! It might throw his game off??? Maybe out of rhythm?

    High3, one of my rules is not to mess with player props in games I don't see being competitive. Think Westbrook under 27 looks good in theory, but at the same time, did you see who the Knicks PGs are? That's not to mention Porzingis and Kanter (even if off the bench) and Willy H trying to defend Westbrook in the pick and roll. Having said that, even if he only takes like 15 shots tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if he made 10 of them, with some FTs.

    I think Melo will get a good amount of shots and he should stick it to the Knicks. I'm assuming Courtney Lee is gonna guard him, maybe Hardaway for some stretches too.

    The Knicks might try and hide Porzingus on Robertson.

    I'll take a look at the props soon and let you know if anything sticks out High3. I'm sure I'll bet on something.

    I have never minded taking OKC large against the spread but that was Scotty Brooks and KD days

    However, I will take them again tonight

    I think this team realizes the window is small, and they're going to come out gunning tonight, really showcase what they have

    OKC -12 is the play for moi because I have a gut feeling

    I'd be inclined to think that Westbrook will try to set the tone and set up the news guys as much as possible. Assists over maybe a look? Also, if you see a blowout, I wonder how many minutes he's going to see in the 4th quarter. But yah, if the knicks guards are that bad, maybe not worth the angle.

    I really love taking large dogs the first few games of the year before the market can adjust to each team but the decided factor in this game for me is the ego of the players. I think all 3 of these guys have huge egos and want to set the tone for the year. You never know from game to game whether the shots will fall or not, but I think tonight the shots will be there for OKC and I have to believe enough will fall.

    With that said, I went 2-3 yesterday

    I believe the C's will figure out how to gel eventually, I just can't get past them adding so many new parts, game planning for months based on everyone being there and then the center piece goes down. Plus, Kyrie is going to have to adjust to playing a role more similar to how thomas played

    With that said, I think the C's win some games and cover some but I won't be able to back them until I see they've figured out how to play without Hayward consistently

    Melo needs to be unselfish and not try and do to much

    Russ does what he does

    PG13 puts everyone to bed

    Another player prop I am considering is Griffin over 5.5 assists. Any strong opinions against?

    I feel bad for George. Westbrook is a ball hog and a garbage shooter. Melo can shoot but he has no heart and plays no defense.

    Let's be real Ainge a smart dude, he knows right this minute bron and golden state own the NBA, no matter what he did was gonna change that this season. He building them to compete for titles in 2-3 years imo.. I think brown can be a elite player in this league, plays tough d and looks more than capable as a scorer. Tatum needs to work on his body some but lots of potential and w heyword injury he gonna get lot of playing time now to gain experience. Think this team be class of east in few years.

    Shot, I got the price I wanted. +13 (1.91). I'm in.

    FWIW, I don't bet NBA big. Just recreationally. That said, fk OKC. Perfect storm, imho. 2 overrated pricks:
    * Melo needs the ball. He sucks.
    * Westbrook, too. Stat-accumulator. He has ball in his hand 70%. No shit...he's gonna get some Triple Doubles.

    Shot...are we actively betting NBA this season? Let me know, pal.
