Monty will get the refs in check, they'll be better for it next season.

Nothing is new though...

Bad officiating been going on for decades.

westbrook looks like he can go another 8 OTs

He's been MIA for most of the season so probably.

 

[nbafan88]

hate the way okc plays

 

[emkee]

Fade alert for both these squads.

 

[nbafan88]

clutch FTs

mental toughness indeed by embiied

 

[nbafan88]

what a crazy game

everyone knows embiid has the advantage and that's what they should exploit

a smart coach would use that as a decoy

 

[nbafan88]

good riddance philly

 

[emkee]

Red Dick thought he was Kobe. You ain't Kobe.

Team ISO, lol.

The excitement over this bunch late-summer was hilarious.

 

[B.A.R.]

I do not play many sides before games anymore but tonight was the Houston Playoff Revenge game after the Game 6 drubbing last May, right?

 

[Lexington 125]

Prob gonna hate myself but I think the Thunder go on a run...

Bulls are live

Knew it wouldn't be easy but wow.

Mirotic continues to impress

 

[Lexington 125]

Books throwing out a pretty strong -5 Thunder line. I'm sure there will be Knicks love, Thunder off long game b2b they will be tired etc. KP a ? and Kanter is banged up, I'm thinking of continuing to ride the Thunder. A ml par of -200 to the vikings and Jags is +110.


Early thoughts

Bucks are catching too many, maybe over would be better but I wouldn't lay the 10.5

Mavs/Spurs under 197 though it looks too easy

 

[tuck321]

Dallas 6-2 vs division
Spurs 1-5

 

[cogenman]

Melo coming home. Worth any props? The OTs should be a factor though.

 

[Tito]

Any news on Favors playing tonight? I like the Ov there...

 

[nbafan88]

kinda surprising the hornets are favored by 3.5

I want to bang Portland so bad but something is telling me no

 

[Lexington 125]

No Adams for Thunder, KP a ??? Glad I never locked in the ML parlay...

 

[tuck321]

After a while people will start understanding the Suns

 

[emkee]

Billy Donovan and Scotty Brooks are the same person.

It's like the Thunder fired Scotty to hire Scotty.

Billy luck boxed a win vs Philly because he left Roberson in on a key offensive possession and Roberson is that bad nobody bothered to guard him.

Death by isolation. Copy and paste of his predecessor.

Wussell not built to make his teammates better. He is a walking personal stat-line nothing more.

Good luck not winning shit for many, many years OKC.

everyone saying how good the okc/philly game was..... I thought it was pure shit basketball

It was ugly. I watched it all.

Sixers are team slop.

OKC is team ISO.

There is a reason it took till 3rd OT to get the over in.

philly took so many bad shots it was disgusting

Simmons is so good but very sloppy with the ball. He has Harden like tendencies to just turn the ball over no reason. Joel forced terrible shots at times too.

 

[emkee]

Harden likes to dance at the top of the 3-point line in the final quarter as folks who bet the Rox to cover the spread cringe before he heaves a contested brick or turns it over with an errant pass into 3 defenders.

Sadly he's also taught Eric Gordon this trick.

As for the Sixers they are vastly overrated this season. First full year together, they are a talented yet sloppy mess running a junk offense.

Simmons is a fart in the wind with the rock.

haven't really looked at their performance since Booker went down. been avoiding them until they show what they are without him.

whats your take on them?

 

[emkee]

Both matinee faves cash, very reliable is this angle.

Road dogs don't like sunlight.

 

[number2]

Lost the over in raps game by bucket.....124 1half and 77 2half....smh....especially the sucko kings....
