It's hard to argue that Thunder aren't the better team heads-up when healthy. I will take the hot/young/dominant team and the points...

Thunder +4.5
ML


I will add halves tomm and prob up this play too.

I'm torn..I agree they win the series...just don't know if they win game 5 or 7 in San Antonio..

Agreed. I am torn about tonight... This is definitely a game SA should and needs to win. I just really aren't sure they are capable. The Thunder have absolutely owned the Spurs with Ibaka in the game.

I should hedge my +750 with -165, but I don't think I will

that does sound tempting but if okc wins tonight you'd get a much better number tomorrow. if the spurs win and okc gets g6 ml in g7 should have decent value. gl with whatever you do :0074

Jord be very careful. This is one of those games like last night. Pre-scripted.
SA will NOT lose tonight.
Westbrick or Durant may just be in foul trouble tonight....:0008

Cheers, buddy. I don't cap on that garbage. So often, nothing happens and it goes 5 or 6 and we don't hear a peep. Once in a while the calls go like last night - and every game is fixed by everybody. It's like when a big game falls right on the number, and everyone is all like, "The oddsmakers are soooo damn good!" Of course, forgetting the other 7 times where the number wasn't even close. It's why all poker players remember the bad beats, and why guys like Greens and me bitch about all the bad losses :mj07:... those are the ones that stick out.

And even if the refs do have a bias, a lot of other things in the game have to fall in the perfect places for it to matter. Anyway, just my 2 cents. I have ZERO interest in arguing or even discussing this further in here... so i beg of you, please no more in this thread about it. We can go to a separate post if you care for my thoughts.

For all the fixing, the West Conf finals haven't gone 7 games in 13 years!!... if they are fixing it for more games, and revenue, they need to get way better at it. The ECF has gone 7, twice in those 13 years. The finals 4 times in the past 25 years. If they are fixing this shit, they need to get better at the whole drama thing

I don't think there is outright fixing of games overall. I do think it has happened over the years. Games like, what was it, Game 6 Lakers beating the Kings I think way back in 2001...stuff like that.

That said, I do think there is an agenda. I think there are games like last night where Lebron gets not only early foul trouble but ends up with 5 fouls before the end of the 3rd and the Pacers shoot a lot more free throws overall.

I've said before....all I really know is that I don't know. I'm agnostic, just like everybody else lol. But back to last night....I almost wonder if they don't come in with that agenda and then say, let's see if the Heat can overcome it..and if not, we get a Game 6.

And if they do overcome it.....you get yet another chance for everyone to kiss Lebron's ass....I thought for sure he takes that last shot and probably goes to the line with a chance to tie it or even a 3-pt play. I was so glad he passed it out and Bosh missed.

It would be great to see a Game 7...in Indiana...but after Lebron gets 5 fouls in 3 qtrs, scores 7 points....yeah, no way they lose Game 6. Just a matter or whether they cover the spread.

Spurs lucky to be in this game. It took some really tough, hot shooting. Thunder having their way.

More in-game +4.5
