Hard to find reasons to back the Clips for me in this one. They are not a great road team at 13-14 while OKC is 24-5 at home. OKC has really stepped up their D which coincides with the return of Thabo Sefolosha, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. Him and Ibaka had great games last time out, but OKC really does play some solid team D w/ them, Perkins, Durant (much improved on D this year IMO) and Westbrook. Add in the fact that I am not a big fan of the Clippers "offense" and I like this play.
If the Clippers can't score easy buckets off of dunks (either alley oops or fast break) and get stuck in the half court, they are really limited. Griffin and Jordan are the two who are liabilities because if it is not a dunk they really don't have much else (I know Griffin shoots mid-range but give me a break they will take that any day over a dunk). CP3 is a beast but he can't do it all and Randy Foye had been playing out of his mind before but I expect him to come back to earth where he belongs. The Clippers 2nd unit is also very suspect while OKC's is legit (K. Mart, Nick Young, Eric Bledsoe<<<<Harden, Collison, Cook, Fish).
Motivation is not an issue as both teams are playoff bound, OKC is fighting for a 1 seed and LAC is trying to stay in the 4 spot.
Given that OKC is the best offensive team in the league, has become one of the better defensive teams in the league, and can smell a championship I am looking for differing opinions to give me some reasons the Clippers can cover the +8. Good luck everyone all opinions welcome like to get some other people's point of view on the same games.

Thunder -8 is looking really nice. It will be one interesting game. I would rather not touch this game. But if I do i'm rolling with the Thunder at home.

Yeah theres a bunch of good ones tomorrow, like the Suns/Grizz matchup and the Jazz/Rockets but going to look into those ones much deeper and figure it out. Probably almost an auto-play on the Spurs once a line comes out if it isn't too crazy.
