      The place will be absolutely buzzing.

      Don't know if I can bet against the Thunder going home.

            It would take some stones to bet Spurs here for sure but that's part of my point

            Just seems a bit too logical to take Thunder at such a low line doesn't it?

            I'm sure there are quite a few people chasing against the Spurs for their first loss right about now too

                          I understand that it seems very obvious and it was my immediate thought but at the same time let's be realistic. Are we simply thinking it's such an "amazing value" because we view the game a certain way and thus have a bias on this line?

                          If the Spurs are the better team and are favored by 4 1/2 in game 2 at there place then why should the Thunder be favored by any more than 3? At most maybe 3 1/2 which is what I think the line closes at. Any other line simply makes no sense it would seem irrational for them to favored by as much or more than the superior team on the spurs home court.

                            You make some solid points Yolkix. But, I think it was debatable who the better team was going into this series

                            Combine that with the success the Thunder have had at home, how crazy/loud their crowd gets, and the fact that this game is all or nothing for them... Everyone gonna be chasing their OKC losses from first 2 and possible series bets in jeopardy

                              Oh yea I am expecting the public to pound OKC but I am going with my gut on this one. My book is slow to post lines though so I have a bad feeling I am gonna be staring at -3 1/2 by the time i can get at it. For those that like OKC and have the means, I would take them now. It is almost impossible to match the desperation of a team playing for their season in front of their home fans.

                              Also keep in mind there have been plenty of games this NBA season were everyone and their brother was on a team and that team comes through a fair amount of the time. The Spurs for example come to mind in round 1 when they were favored by I believe it was 5 or 6 in Utah game 3. Pretty sure something like 80% of the public was on SAS and like a wise guy I faded and got burned.

                                  Thought the line would be more like 4.5. I know the Spurs have won about 20 in a row, but this is the season for a quality OKC team. Would lay the 3, but more likely to play ML.

                                    this what you do. don't over analyze about -3 or what not. wait till the game starts and let one of the teams have a big lead in the first quarter or second quarter, then bet the losing team in live bet. if the game is close at all times and the spread never changes, just skip the game...

                                        Would never take the Spurs 1st half. OKC will come out with a sense of urgency and cover that number imo.

                                          OKC will win at least one game at home. Chase OKC at home for 2 games!

                                            Take the OKC ML, this game could be decided in the final 10 seconds of the 4th quarter.

                                                    Thunder will only win 1 of the 2 home games. I will say game 4. Going for Thunder 1st half and Spurs ML in game 3.

                                                      Spurs are a great road team. They beat the thunder in OKC in the latter part of the season without Ginobli. The Spurs ML might be the better play.

                                                        I am taking Spurs

                                                        Only way to hang with them is a slow low scoring game

                                                              4.5? Thats nuts. I figured maybe -1.5 or 2. Ill take Thunder ML and chase game 4 if they lose. Ill take a chance at them not getting swept.
