Spurs pick and roll. The Thunder play a good pick and roll defense, by going into a zone formation when SA hinted they were about to run pick and roll. Perkins and Ibaka would slide to the angle where Parker or Ginobli were looking to go, this allowed Westbrook enough time to go around the screener and get back quick enough on Parker to force SA gurds to make a bad pass...causing turnovers. Spurs will protect ball alot better Sat night. You will see the good pick n roll D for maybe a quarter, eventually Ginobli will break their defense down...it's too tiring trying to stop, can only be done for a quarter.
Spurs will not double team Durant as much...hes gonna score anyway. this way Fisher isn't left hitting open shots.
Look for Spurs to attack quicker like they did at home. Even without the pick n roll, Ginobli n Parker will use the pump fakes really well to get Thunder out of defensive comfort zones. The SA ofense is just unstopable. You canwatch all the film you want and you cant stop it. Plus Thunder are a great team, but basically a jump shooting team.
I'm going to wait until 7 or 8 hours before gametime to put in my bet on the Spurs. Thunder could cover, but the odds favor SA to cover Game 4.

I wanted to grab the line at 4....as I am looking to maybe put the bet in now, the line drops from 3.5, down to 3.
Well, I just made my bet. I bought a point to make it Spurs+4(-130). I like the insurance of getting the extra point, even though I think the Spurs will win the game. Believe me, I have saved my ass many times buying points.
So, I have SPURS+4(-130) Risking 4.9% of my bankroll.

sucks fading amazing home teams in do or die situations. The Thunder put on a clinic last game. Not sure your greg popovich adjustment theories hold much weight. This just seems like the type of series where the home team never loses and goes the distance. There is a reason the team that has won 20 of 21 games is getting 4 pts.....think about it

To each his own. I'm not claiming Spurs will definately cover. I think there is a nice edge with the Spurs+4. We will see what happens.

Public perception always sees the last game played. Thunder came out with a purpose.. SA played like crap, esp after halftime. The spurs are the better team in my eyes tho. But I think it's because of their deep bench.. As u know, the role players tend to disappear a little more on the road.. ESP in the playoffs.. Doubt sefalosha goes for 19 Tom n Duncan shoots 30%< from the field again. GL sir as I played spurs at +4 as soon as my Celtic bet cleared.

i had san antonio mistakenly in game three. but the younger thunder have been tough at home 6-0 in the playoffs. westbrook hasn't had a breakout game. i just couldn't pull the trigger on pop's bunch. that college home court is intense. glta
