[divol]

Sure thing mate
Just no lines been released yet.

Will be on Thunder and Dallas.

 

[edou1x]

The Mavericks are 13-1 OVER versus
.600 or greater non-division opponents

 

[tazz]

okc is now -4 vs the spurs who haven't lost in 19 games...is somebody out for the spurs?

i know san antonio has basically locked up #1 seed but you would think they would want to beat okc who they have lost to 3 times this year...someone educate me because i am about to take both dogs ml today

 

[cogenman]

Just take the spurs till they lose

 

[edou1x]

thought line SA-OKC would open pick em or SA-1 to -3 with their current run. will be thunder ML or nothing. never going to lay points against the hottest team right now

 

[BetCrimes1984]

When the Spurs have opened as a road Dog or a Fav of -4.5 or less
16-8 To Over
201.0 average ppg
200.5 average line

When the Spurs have opened as a road Fav of -5.5 or higher
8-5 To Under
199.5 average ppg
202.5 average line


Spurs are 12-2 to Under in their L14 games in which they've failed to score 120+ pts.

Spurs are 16-2 ATS their L18

Spurs are 4-4 ATS as a(n opening line) dog this season: 3-0 ATS vs. Pacific div. teams, 1-4 ATS vs. everyone else.

-----

OKC is 7-2 to Under playing off 2 + days rest in 2014.

OKC is 4-2 ATS & 5-1 to Under as a home Fav laying 4.5 or less.

 

[austinhous]

Since 1999, the Spurs are 7-0 SU as the underdog against teams that have beat them four consecutive times. The average line in those games was 3.0 and the O/U was 1-5-1 against an average total of 194.1.

 

[austinhous]

OKC has a B2B game at Houston tomorrow night. They are 3-4 SU and 1-6 ATS (0-6 L6 ATS) before playing Houston - in the regular season - since last season.

 

[austinhous]

Since February the Spurs are 10-1 SU and 9-1-1 against teams >.500 (3-0 SU as the dog).

 

[tuck321]

There is an issue of Risk vs reward here. Spurs losing Key players here---Team is headed high not seeing real value in the gamble here plus giving Thunder a good look at what they have now.

 

[austinhous]

that makes sense

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

2 awesome games tonight. Sit back and enjoy them. Both games too close to make a wager.

 

[emkee]

OKC has a B2B game at Houston tomorrow night. They are 3-4 SU and 1-6 ATS (0-6 L6 ATS) before playing Houston - in the regular season - since last season.

Granted they were never facing the team leading the West that is riding a 19-game win streak on those 7 occasions.

 

[nbafan88]

Okc owns the spurs and that's why the line is where it is.

 

[emkee]

Westbrook will start tonight, rest tomorrow.

Reggie Jackson will play tonight also.

 

[emkee]

Perk in as well.

Manu out.

 

[emkee]

Surprised Perk is starting.

 

[nbafan88]

Spurs are a machine. Doesn't matter who's in. Okc is a two headed fraud which is better with only one of the heads.

if there's one team that I never care about who's starting it's the spurs. Kind of amazing when you think about it

 

[emkee]

Patty Mills has it locked in.

 

[emkee]

Durant not showing up vs top tier opposition again.

 

[emkee]

Pace of the game will make me hold on my pregame play. Think it shows on the Spurs legs late.

 

[nbafan88]

Took the 2h over 105. Fade me. Ice cold

 

[emkee]

Spurs 21-2 SU if leading on the road at halftime.

 

[CASH]

Mavs anyone?

 

[aplous]

Took Mavs +1.5 1Q

 

[nbafan88]

Lol Durant is being selfish

 

[nbafan88]

pop is the best nba coach ever

 

[Retburj13]

pop is the best nba coach ever

he's in the conversation...what he gets from his teams are amazing...well oiled machine

after all these years all players even vets buy into his system and drink the koolaid

 

[RetroVK]

great coach .... and we cant define coaches by one game ... but he almost single-handedly cost them a title last year and that is hard to look past when talking "greatest ever "

Two-headed fraud 4

Machine 0

Would be the same if not similar result if they meet in the playoffs.

OKC with too much athleticism for SA to handle.

 

[Retburj13]

i agree that was bad but Phil, Red, Lanny and Pat had their hiccups as well so looking at the body of work, imo he's in the group

if only manu hit that free throw

i dont think so... athleticism isnt what wins in the playoffs

that will be phoenix's demise

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Mariano cost the Yankees 2 WS titles ('01, '04 - they'd have beaten STL as easily as Boston did), and no one is going to argue he's not the best p.s. closer there's been to date.

Probably best for its own thread but
All these guys had multiple HOF on their teams . While duncan (future hof) and robinson (hof) played 5 years together (and parker) the actually coaching and strategy that pop seems to put into is a little above the rest... (must add chuck dailey to the list above).. .. and my own personal comment - Phil Jackson is not a coach.. he is a good manager..

 

[nbafan88]

He will never truly be appreciated until after he retires and the spurs don't win 50 games again for a long time

the fact the spurs get such little media attention unless they are on a 20 game winning streak is something that is a result of Popovichs style. I don't think he would be able to be the way he is in a bigger market

 

[cogenman]

Big Baby Davis is a fat fuck. He needs to lose some weight.

 

[Noles4life]

any thoughts 2nd half..... maybe clips get dead legs in 2nd half???.... i just think there flat out better and the fact this game is close there gonna come out big in 3rd

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Playing their 6th in 9, Clipps just had to be in a bad spot. They're heads & shoulders above Dallas, but it's not an even playing field tonight. Hard to say. So far Dallas has gotten away twice, and Clipps have reeled them back twice. Unless they take a lead soon, you'd have to think their legs will start to show the effect of the spot + having to keep reeling the Mavs in.
