On a 6-0 run, 26-4 in my last 30 and 31-12 during playoffs.
On Wednesday I really like Dallas to close this series out in impressive fashion. Looking at the line, IMO the books believe so too. Line has gone up 1.5 from the last time they played in Dallas and rightfully so. Some people will look at that as value backing OKC, but I wouldn't even feel comfortable taking OKC with 10 pts. It has nothing to do with talent level, although Dallas is the better team. If your mind is not right, I don't care how talented you are.
I don't care about statistics, trends, etc. Psychologically OKC has got to be dejected after the way they loss Game 4. They were riding high in that game with a wire to wire lead, DD lead, for that matter, practically the whole game. They came out on fire going 9-9 and I believe close to 60% shooting at HT. They were filled with joy and and emotion as they could sense a victory and the series going back to Dallas 2-2. Only to be stripped away in the final minutes and now face a 1-3 deficit hitting the road. The emotion showed immediately in OT and even after you can hear the let down in,specifically, Durant's voice during the press conference and interviews the day after. Meanwhile, Dallas is feeling just the opposite as they should feed of this collapse and have added energy. Especially as they know OKC is vulnerable right now and they have a chance to take away every bit of life left from them. If the Thunder keep this game within single digits I will tip my hat to them.
