I think OKC wins in 6. I saw the look on their faces after they picked up that big win last night....they have tons of confidence now.

I see them going into san antonio, picking up another win and then going back home to close it out in game 6. I don't think they would beat spurs 3 straight games in san antonio, so I believe game 6 will be a must win for OKC

Anybody with me here? This is a very good money making opportunity if I am right about this. I probably won't bet OKC series as likely it will be a sucker bet.

Instead, I will bet OKC ML for game 5 and ride all of the winnings onto ML for game 6. If they lose game 5, then double/triple up on OKC ML game 6.

I don't see OKC losing game 5 though. And people are going to be on SA thinking that there is no way they lose 2 straight at home. I just see OKC as being the more hungry team right now.

Let's get this

Whoever wants it more will get it...and I can see that OKC wants it more this year. San Antonio had enough rings. It's time for OKC to prove themselves.

I believe it will be Cavs and OKC in the finals and OKC will finally get a ring this year.

Everyone expecting a 7 game series, OKC is winning the next 2. San Antonio can't keep up when Thunder push the pace. When Westbrook plays pass-first, they are unbeatable

OKC is not winning three straight games against San Antonio. If they win this series, they will have to do it in 7 games.

But if OKC wins tomorrow and loses at home and then wins game 7 that would be the same as beating SA 3 straight times in San Antonio.

I think the much more likely scenario is that OKC wins the next two.

In the playoffs a team can get beat 3 straight, we've seen it before.

I honestly feel like OKC have figured out SA. I saw a turning point last night in Oklahoma City. They have figured them out and SA just doesn't have the bodies to throw at the Thunder at this point. The Spurs are NOT what they use to be...they don't have those corner stone HOF players anymore...it's clearly evident.

Well actually I had OKC to win game 4 and I liked them to win the series before game 4.

After game 4 is when I really saw the fire in Durant's eyes though. Like he is on a mission right now.

Also didn't the Thunder beat the Spurs 4 straight just recently(within the past couple of years) in the finals?

Exactly.

OKC had the same look in their eyes after Game Two as they did last night in Game Four.

And what happened in Game Three in San Antonio?  Spurs won.

If you like OKC, see if you can get a prop bet for them to win in seven games.

If this series goes 7 games the home team in game 7 of a playoff series wins 80% of the time,fyi

Agreed.  The Spurs have a rather quiet, "workman-like" way about them.  They're not as "exciting" as OKC, but we all know that exciting doesn't win championships.  It reminds me of football, when the more explosive offensive team is overvalued over the better defensive team.  Fan/Media attention drives the amateur bettor to the more popular pick, driving the line to a "false number."  Course, some say small bettors never move the line.  But last year's superbowl is a classic example..

It'll take just one more dominating game (like game 1) by the Spurs for everyone to say, "oh yeah, they're really good, too bad OKC," which could very likely be next game.. 

And that home crowd has been waiting to get nuts after the "13 seconds/inbounding" debacle..

I don't know if they will win in 6, but the Spurs should not be laying 7 points to them in game 5... probably shouldn't be laying 3.5 points...

Spurs shouldn't be laying 3.5? Home court in the playoffs accounts for 4-4.5 points alone so you're saying OKC should be favored AT San Antonio? Wtf is this logic
