    I second that, you're not to bright there sir.  That might be a worthwhile comment if it were a pick em game but the Thunder are getting 8 points which make up for the more Lakers wins.

    Instead of "don't bet against Kobe" it should be "don't bet against the Thunder at home."

    For what it's worth.. This is the time of season where Zen Master Phil likes to minute mix with his bench to see which players fit in best with the second team and which players fit situationally..

    Perfect spot for a back door.

    love OKC at home....but something about this game smells fishy. 

    It will either be tight start to finish or a 15 pt lakeshow....my problem is can't justify picking a side.

    enjoy the game - no play for me

    I can tell you how sure i am of this game, I put 2/3 of my bank roll of this week ($3.3k) into this game.

    I doesn't matter how sure you are, this is NEVER a good idea from personal experience.

    If you are scared to go against any team you wont make any money in this hustle and might as well give up gambling and go sell insurance.
     
    I capped this game and I deffinately like Okc +7.5 here. I might even take the MoneyLine. Lakers less than Scary as a road favorite going 18-7 SU and 12-13 ATS . As a 7pt fav or more they are 5-9 ATS.
     
    OKC may be in  the cellar but we all know they can cover a spread. 42-26-1 overall and 21-14 at home ATS. But when you look at how they have stepped it up lately its suprising. I know they lost their last 2 home games but if you look at their last 23 games they are impressive.
     
    They are 13-10 SU and 17-5-1 ATS their last 23 games. Also they have wins against very good teams as sizeable dogs.
     
    Wins over SanAntonio, Philadelphia, Dallas, Portland, Detroit, and Utah. Also they close losses to Denver twice by 2 and 1 pts respectively, Houston by 2, and NewOrleans by 2.

    vegasville.  I like your thinking and I am with okc +7.5.    However the scary thing is the teams they beat are all slow paced teams. Lakers play up tempo and can score a bunch fast.    The lakers struggle throughout the game like a yoyo.  The biggest concern is a blowout or large lead by the lakers. farmer will enter the game and shoot a ton of three's and drive to the basket.  this can cause the lead to shoot up or ruin it for us at garbage time.  With all that said I believe the over might be a good play also.

    ValueforRent:

    That's the best money management advice i've heard in a while on here.  Everybody seems to have a GOY or GOM every damn day.  I, like you, from personal experience, have gotten my ass kicked on my "lock, no way will this team lose" play and have thrown away bankrolls in the past i have worked hard to create on my LOCK.  There are always going to be games to bet where you want to put a higher unit wager, but 2/3 of your bankroll is bad for your money management in the long run.  GL on your play though YOYO

    On another side note while i'm talking about gambling in general, why the hell do people actually post this game will not lose, or sure winner, or etc.  Seems like the biggest jinx in the world

    I ended up going with OKC +7.5 instead of the ML playing a bit safe after losing the Knicks ML last night. I also took the under because of the way OKC has been playing lately. They are under their last 7 Home games and in the last 23 home games 15-8 on the under. Also good for the under is the last 23 home games they are giving up an avg of just 96.8pts a game, 94.6pts in their 18 covers/tie.

    OKC is setting up for a wonderful 2nd Half wager at this current score:


    LA Lakers 37 10     47 5:29 


    Oklahoma City 20 14     34 2nd

    Lakers looking great with an 11-0 run at the end of the half. Thunder have their work cut out for them in the 2nd half if they want to get back into this one. Good thing about OKC is they are a young team and play with pride so a comeback is in reason and I still like them to push it in the 2nd half.

    Wait for the end of the game before clownin joeyp. Yo-Yo still in it to win it. OKC was down big against SanAntonio and came back in that one.
