GL LC.  From watching the last game, it looks like KD is defeated. Its very concering the way he played, he did not want any part of the ball. I have never seen him like this, he just sat back and made very little attempt to come to the ball.  

I hope okc can pull this off, but could easily see Memphis running away with it. OKC has 0 ball movement, and with KD looking mentally disengaged it will be tough.

I they do lose, there must be big canges in the offseason

Durant has came out and said there are set plays that has him serve as a decoy. When you see him standing in the corner, that is a called play. He said it doesn't bother him because he trusts in his teammates to have plays called for them. This is solely on Scott Brooks, Durant is just doing what his coach tells him.

You think bird, magic and jordan just did what the coach told them? He is doing it because he is afraid and wants to have an excuse when they lose.

Durant is soft, no doubt about it. I ain't arguing. He should be scrutinized way more than Westbrook does. Westbrook brings 100% every single game.

Memphis is a bad matchup for OKC.  Scotty Brooks is forced to play Kendrick Perkins because of Memphis's bigs.  Kevin Durant hasn't figured out a way to score on Tony Allen.  Unless Brooks figures out a way to effectively have Durant, Westbrook and Reggie Jackson all on the floor at the same time... this series ends tonight.

Chase? Why do people only view the last bet made. I'm up +12.5 units in this series, how is this a chase

I've been so disappointed in KD this series.  I root for him since he is from Baltimore.  If I watch KD dribble down the court one more time and get the ball stripped from him as he is going up I'll flip out.  He is just getting man handled.  Having said that, gun to my head, I would take OKC because of the aforementioned underdog role and my gut feeling.  this is a no play for me.  i just cant trust okc right now to bet my money on them.  grizz have a lot of heart and understand they cant lose this game and head back to okc.

Added Play:

  • Pacers PK (2x)

This is a bad spot for the Hawks, they have a better chance to close it out in Indiana in game 7 in my opinion.

WOW.

Pacers huh.........

Again, I just don't understand how this is a 3 unit play when the 'iffier' game at 2-1 Grizz (and we all knew it was) in Memphis as well, with the same exact line was 6 units. And now it's an elimination game. 

Is this reduction solely due to Durant's confidence?

My confidence is definitely there, it's just a fact of overall risk. I have 5 units vested in this game between the side and the team total, and additional units on OKC futures all riding on this game, which is enough. The other game where I had 6x on them, there was a total of 6 units riding on that game, here there is more. Don't want to risk more on a single game if that makes sense.

LC, I notice that you seem to like to buy down from the 2 1/2 to the 2 in the NBA. I'm sure you're not guessing as to when to buy half points. Is there some reference material, a chart or something that you use that shows what numbers are profitable to buy on or off of?

More games in NBA history have landed on 2 and 7 more than any other number. Those are the two key numbers I would advise buying points on in the NBA. Similar to 3 and 7 in NFL

Im actually love all road team today.

Pacers will be fine with all the presure on them.
Okc will win and someone will step up.
Clippers are just the better team, they can close it tonight and they will do it.

From ESPN:

"Kevin Durant is just 1-4 all-time in elimination games and he's shooting just 38.9 percent from the field, well below his field goal percentage of 46.3 in all other postseason games. For comparisons sake, LeBron James is 7-6 all-time in elimination games while Michael Jordan went 6-7." 

"Russell Westbrook has taken 53 shots in the 4th quarter/OT this postseason, the most on the Thunder. While Kevin Durant is 20-42 from the field, Westbrook is just 14-53 in the 4th quarter/OT. Over the last 15 years, there have been 180 instances in which a player has taken at least 50 shots in the 4th quarter/OT in a single postseason. Westbrook's 26.4 FG percentage this postseason ranks dead last among that group."
