    As an OKC fan, I'm obviously rooting for the Spurs to get past the Mavs. Some people think the Spurs would beat the Thunder in a potential playoff matchup, but the Thunder would crush them like they have all season long. The Mavs actually would give the Thunder a ton of matchup problems, and would give OKC a run for there money. Weeks before the playoffs started, I was saying the Spurs wouldn't do much in the playoffs this season.


    "The Spurs are playing off the charts right now, but they are peaking a little too early. You never want to see your team enter the playoffs on a 20 game win streak."


    As stated above, the Spurs peaked way too early. And started to bottom out right before the playoffs started. Meanwhile, the Mavs have been playing off the charts, and are led by the most underrated coach in the league. I placed a few bets on the Mavs to come out of the West a couple days ago just incase they meet the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals but for now, I don't see the Spurs being able to beat this team 3 more times.


    • Dallas Mavericks - Series Price +160 (2x)


    NBA Playoffs: +32.25 units (22-9)...71%

    Pending:

    • Wizards - Series Price +160 (3x)
    • Blazers - Series Price +175 (3x)

    First off.... OKC is in trouble with Memphis lets not get too ahead yet.  

    Dallas would give Memphis some trouble too. Caught dallas at +800 when they were down 1-0 to the Spurs.

    One lucky shot maybe, but the mavs could easily be 3-0 right now. Speaking of, the bulls could have gotten swept if nene didn't get ejected in game 3

    True.. I really thought Memphis was going to be up 3-1 in this series when they were up 5 with less than a minute left, then they blew OT with miller missing two FTs.  Memphis had a golden opportunity, can they rebound from that.

    Winner of Memphis OKC is going to the Finals.....

    Memphis would destroy GSW..... Clipps match up better with them but Memphis is old school tough. Their two main bigs are better than Clipps two main bigs..... they are both wet from mid range with a dope post game and a sick passing game.... plus Koufos is a legit starter. Back court on teh Grizz is as good as Golden State.  

    Deandre cant shoot that rim running Alley oop shiit wont work against the Grizz..... theres no coincidence the grizz keep abusing the clipps minus that one year when the Grizz were up 3-1 in the series and let the clipps chuck their way back in it with Nick Young having that miracle game 4..... and they lost game 7 at home to them.... uhhhg Im still haunted by that..... feckin bookie luckboxed like crazy on that one..... 

    OKC would beat Clipps and GSW at their own game....

    LC, with you on dallas they can easily be up 3-0 in this series barring that big spurs game 1 comeback. I think tomorrow night will really say it all wether or not the spurs have it or not if dallas shows them up its a wrap. Havint said that you picked portland and Washington and both teams are up 3-1 now I would have never thought so im just trusting your analysis as you obviously see something I do not lets get it dallas.... waiting for your picks for Monday anxiously and patiently thanks for everything you do I really appreciate it.

    "As an OKC fan, I'm obviously rooting for the Spurs to get past the Mavs." 

    LC, there isn't much to call you out on these days as you are doing an excellent job capping and the balls and ejections are all bouncing your way. However, why on earth are you a fan of the Thunder? Have you watched this series. This team is pathetic (and I;m not even talking about the chucking, poor decision making, bad coaching, low basketball IQ, etc etc). But that last game where both "superstars," I use the term loosely, literally ran away from the ball (something I have never seen from superstar players, much less two), forcing a backup player to take over the game against the best D in the NBA, was beyond pitiful. Can you imagine Bird, Magic, Jordan, Isiah, Wade, Manu, Parker, Duncan, Dirk you name it, trying to hide on an NBA court (and simply defer again and again, with the season on the line) when all eyes are on them? These guys were exposed, plain and simple, for the frontrunners that they are. Who can be a fan of these guys, after such a cowardly display (and this is to say nothing of the two previous games). I really hope the Grizz (a real team, with heart and guts) somehow win this series, although I doubt they will.

    Westbrook has a lot of games where he shoots poorly, but he is still one the best point guards in the league. Everyone talks about his stupid decision making but no other point guard in the league is a better two-way player than Westbrook. Tony Allen has proved he can shut down Durant but so what? The Thunder are a complete team and still won in Memphis where no other team has won in over 2 months, with there best 2 players shooting under 25%. What does that tell you? Plus Durant being shut down isn't all due to Tony Allen, him having to carry the load all season long scoring 40+ while Westbrook was out has taken a toll. That's why I laugh when people say the Thunder would be better with Westbrook gone because Durant gets more shots. Hah!
