That is why I think people thinking this will be a boring finals are crazy. Both teams want to do the exact same thing and run the other into the ground. Think this will be a fun one.

No one that knows basketball thinks this is going to be boring I don’t think

That’s how you separate the casuals from the die hard fans. For one anyone who watched these 2 teams play this season would know that both play a fun brand of basketball which is all I need in the finals

Yeah, most of the negativity has to do with market size, not actual basketball

Which is just stupid, it’s all about what happens on the floor.

Apparently, Tyrese Halliburton's girlfriend has a strong troll game.

After Halliburton's shot in Game 1 she posted..."I finally got to see the ball drop in NYC".

After Indy won the series she posted..."Go NY, Go NY, Go...Home".

lol

Ok I will be at Caesars in Vegas for game 1. If you were betting $550 to win $500 what is your bet? Thunder are -9 and the total is 231. The only options for me are Thunder -9 or the over or under. The moneyline is -410 so not really an option. I think I need to focus on the total.

Personally I would take the under especially if you think the thunder cover. Can’t you see something like 118-107?

Yes I certainly can, I’m leaning to the under at the moment. I may make a smaller bet on game 1 and observe then take a bigger shot for game 2. The crown is going to be flowing though so who knows lol.

 

[thunderc]

Bet the over?

Both regular season games went over, one barely and the other by 14 points. So hmmm.

I’m not a bettor so you should fade my picks LOL

I know me, if the drinks get flowing, and they will, I’ll be betting the Thunder to cover lol.

Nitpick of the day: using the slash and the p for per is duplication lol

I'm diehard, but for the Lakers. I have no horse in this race, so I'll check in during the 4th to see if it's close, otherwise I'll likely just check scores occasionally. Every year I watch less that doesn't involve my teams directly.

I think it going over and close. I think something like 125-119

Anything possible with these teams. All about if they hitting shots or not. They both play fast enough to hit the over if they are both shooting a high fg %

I just feel that Indiana is going to come out in an all out blitz because they will know they can't beat OKC in a 1/2 court game and then it's hard not to get caught up in the pushing the ball when the other team is and they are pressing on defense.
