    You think that OKC -3 is a weird line? IF the Thunder win this game, how weird do you think it will be when OKC is -1.5 at home in Game 4?

      Thunder will have to dig real deep here. Badly outcoached in game 2. Badly.

        Face it. they are simply outclassed, the Spurs are the best team in the NBA. Thunder may win one at home but that's it. That said, Game 3 may be their best chance.

          How many games in a row until you learn not to bet against the Spurs? My god it's mind boggling. In hindsight after these playoffs you're all going to be looking back at your bets against the Spurs and saying my god, what were we THINKING?

            If Spurs win game 3 and Thunder spread is -10 in game 4, maybe then everyone will dare to load up on Thunder as it doesn't look that easy.

              Good point JJ. I would gladly like to watch the Late Show facing these Spurs right now. OKC isn't playing OKC b-ball. They look like they never played in the NBA before. Gladly take a Kobe right now over these a-holes.

                Thunder is simply too young for this stage right now, but they could be REALLY scary next year.

                  what line did you guys expect, they are playing a team with 20 straight wins?

                    i agree with laker, brooks hasnt done himself any favors in this series, san antonio is a better team still, should have went off a bigger favorite IMO and i thought ok had the value at the outset.

                      Last night Harden, Westbrook, and Durant scored 88 points. The Thunder shot 36 free throws and 47% from three. What kind of game will the Thunder have to have to win? Maybe I'm too square here, but like betting against Tom Brady, I'm not going to do it until they don't cover a spread.

                              Yeah, a back door cover. OKC has won too many close games compared to the Spurs who haven't had close games. Good teams win close games, great teams don't have close games, as the cliche goes.

                                  when you score 111 points obviously it's not their offense that's the problem...

                                    In retrospect, the line is about right as SA has won 20 in a row. But with their backs against the wall and that bubble due to burst, I will take my chances with OKC. And if OKC wins game 3 line will be around 1/1.5 for game 4.

                                          spurs spurs spurs, they'll win at least 1 of the 2 games on the road so this is a good play

                                            Man their are some delusional fans on this site. Did half of you guys just start to watching the game of basketball when Oklahoma got the Thunder? Most of you don't realize when your completely out matched, out coached, and out classed. Your top 3 score almost 90 and you still lose convincingly. This series was done before it started.

                                              Barring injury, don't see anyway Thunder can win the series. But I like them game 3. Real easy to pick a team that has won 20 in a row. OKC made a nice comeback yesterday and they should get at least 1 at home. I will take my chances that it will be game 3.

                                                the way I see it is San Antonio will win at least 1 of the 2 games on the road. It's a positive play to take them as an underdog

                                                  Spurs have won every game in our lifetime, getting points is a joke.

                                                      Can we get a SBR sportsbook special line on the Thunder then?

                                                        Vegas can't really control the spread in this game. It's almost like they drew a number out of a hat and said -3. You have the Spurs on huge winning streak... you have a Thunder team that typically plays well at home. Even though the Wynn just moved to -4 (scares me a little.) I think you have to take San Antonio again. I'm already screwed... I have a major parlay with OKC to win the Championship. Also, OKC for this Series. Yes, I'm totally screwed. My theory is... If San Antonio takes Game 3... naturally series is over. If OKC takes game 3... they will take Game 4 also. And then we will be 2-2. But If I didn't have my bankroll tied up... I'd take San Antonio Game 3 + points... and double up in Game 4 if they loss Game 3.

                                                            No...squares go with the favourite in a game and the team that looks obvious to cover the spread. Public consists of squares and they're gonna pound OKC at only -3

                                                            I think if OKC opened at -4 or -4.5, we could've seen closer to 50/50 action on both sides.

                                                                so why wouldnt they back the spurs at home the first 2 games then?
