Thursday's NBA Plays...

[emkee]

18-14 (+6.4)

1-0 last night.

Getting on this one early.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Miami Heat

The play...

Thunder ML -125 (2.5 to win 2)

System play.

:shake:

 

[emkee]

No harm in laying the 2, just habit for me to play the ML on anything under -3.

Around a 70% spot.

 

[divol]

On it as well, but -2.

Good luck to us!

 

[Metallica]

With ya on the Thunders.
GL to us tonight
:cheers3:

 

[emkee]

Thanks fellas.

Uber-square play and the movement indicates that but luckily there is a football game on tonight.

Heat do not match-up well with the Thunder in their current form.

What's interesting that despite Durant missing almost the entire last season, he was in 11 out of those 12 games (5 out of 6 games last season were with him playing). But still... really doubt that what bothered them is too much rest... If they would have won, but failed to cover, maybe I would say it's because the line was set too high due to the rest. But they also 2 - 10 SU during that stretch, so just one of those stats anomalies I believe.

Irrelevant team trend. Means nothing as Divol pointed out with line-ups etc.

Plenty of other trends supporting the Thunder.

Also if anything, that trend would indicate some form of reversion towards the positive.

 

[emkee]

KD and Billy D are a match made in heaven, both overrated as f**k.

Playing for the 23.9ft 3 up 2 with 27 secs left, smh.

 

[dudleysdad]

Lol kd settling for a bomb with a rookie guarding him
What a joke

 

[emkee]

Not too mention having Waiters guard a hot Wade in the final minutes.

Last time I checked he is not OKC's best defender.

At least Scott Brooks is smiling somewhere.

 

[divol]

Billy D is terrible. I honestly don't see any difference between his offense and the offense under Brooks, but I do feel that Thunder with Brooks had better defense and they would rarely lose B2B games...

 

[emkee]

Thunder are in the top 3 in terms of talent but will never win title.

Billy D's offensive sets are brutal. Guess when you're not beating up on some unknown, talent-less college you can't cover your flaws.

Funny thing is Durant tried to play the alpha last night and failed miserably.

 

[B.A.R.]

Damn, just looked at play by play...

Last 4 OKC shots all 3's...with only the first going in? Brutal.

 

[emkee]

Yep.

Top 5 players, imo.

1. Kawhi

2. SCurry

3. AD

4. LBJ

5. Russell (dude should have been handling the ball in clutch time last night)

Irving, KD, CP, Boogie and Harden round out the rest in no particular order.

 

[divol]

I think that Russel is amazing. He got so many flaws, but things he does best, are just something I never seen anyone else do, only MJ and Kobe. He can destroy your team by himself. He can go one on five on offense and score and than kill you on defense and get the ball (steal/ rebound after opponent's bad shot) and do the same thing all over again. I don't know where to rate him, because he is the opposite of Curry for example, so I don't know who of them is best. KD is a shooter that you can't stop when he is on fire, just like Curry, but he can't do the things RW does. Not even close.
Also, I'm starting to wake up from AD dream. He can't will his team in to a win, doesn't beast inside, playing too far from the paint too often. He is still young and can become a monster, but this season I think he slightly worse than last season.
