dont get okc fever

[ticket casher]

I get why everyone is getting sucked in on okc. They are very good and very athletic. With that being said though san Antonio is truly a no brainer tonight. There is 0% chance that they don't play there A game tonight. To much pride in the Alamo.

Awesome. I said exactly the same things in my playoff thread. I even said that this line should be -8 or -9 tonight as well. I even capped the game at 108-99. Nice to see we're thinking exactly the same.

See you at the window, bro! Piece of cake cover for San An tonight.

Putting Sefolasha on Parker changed the Spurs ability to penetrate and Kendrick Perking's d on Duncan is something the Spurs understand; "nasty". That was the key to this whole series. If Parker and Duncan continue to be handled it's over for the Spurs. :0003

I just want to say I always look forward to your pre game breakdown. You have swayed me a few times. I just think the spurs pride and home court and pops adjustments will be plenty tonight

Spurs are too small and have now allowed 103.8 ppg in their last 5 games. Pop doesnt have anymore adjustment he can make. Spurs normally run guys out of the building but okc 's roll players r just too much for SA to withstand. Okc can play an up tempo and slow down style. Pressure is on SA. JMHO

There's only one "L-word" I like to gamble with messing with, and it sure as hell ain't this one.

I'm with you ticket casher
We all saw okc dominate games 3&4 and 3 quarters of game 1. Yet this line, which I thought would be closer to 3.5 opened at 4.5 briefly and quickly bumped to 5 and is 5 everywhere solid. I think everyone believes a road team will win a game soon in one of these series but vegas line tells me not tonight.
I should preface that I have backed SA in this series and also have them at 1.5-1 to win the title, but think my opinion of tonight's game is objective, based more on fading what seems is the obvious with okc getting 5, after 2 really
Big wins
Good luck

pop has plenty of adjustments he can make

start ginobli (dont be shocked if this happens tonight)
bench green
give more mins to jackson (in place of green)
go small and play blair more at the 5
eliminate bonner from the rotation
play neil at the 2 with parker
etc, etc, etc

he almost has too many options, to say he has NO options is false

Ur right NO is probably not the correct terminology. What I was trying to say is he's out of ones that I think will work.
