    NBA Regular Season YTD: 188-166-4, +23.36  units
    NBA Playoffs Series Wagers: 2-1, +21.25 units
    NBA Playoffs YTD: 3-4, -6.80 units

    Plays for today:

    1. Oklahoma City Thunder (1Q) -2 (-118), 2.36 to win 2
    2. Oklahoma City Thunder -6.5 (-110), 4.4 to win 4

    Memphis' size underneath will find out that having to try and muscle around Perkins and Ibaka isn't quite the same as getting Duncan and McDyess in the interior. Key match-up for me here is Conley v. Westbrook, and I think Conley is gonna have a lot of trouble with Russell in this series. Tough spot for Memphis after the huge emotional win against SAS and now they have to come into one of the toughest home environments to face a team that (even though they may not admit it publicly) knows that they have all the tools needed to challenge for a title. This is along the lines of the theory about one team being happy to be there while the other just looks at this as one step in many in their journey to win it all. I think OKC comes out hot from the get-go (hence the 1Q bet) while MEM realizes that OKC is a completely different beast and harder nut to crack than SAS.

    Will be back later with a play on the later game

    lol @ memphis will realize that OKC is a completely different beast and harder nut to crack than SAS.

    I think they realize who they are up against considering they played them already during the regular season. Terrible write up.
