Oklahoma City Blunder

Dave and I were chatting about this a few weeks ago. As bad as OKC is SU, they are a best bet in the NBA. Including tonight they are

24-14-1 ATS.....................

I love playing these guys....

No doubt. I've won more OKC-involved plays (posted or un-posted, sometimes I'm in a casino sportsbook) than any other team this year. Lose but cover a lot!

amazing thing is that record would be a lot better if they didnt blow so many covers in the 2nd half earlier in the year

No doubt.....the first month of the season they blew plenty of 2H covers, but since 12/3, they've been unreal coming in at 15-5 ATS. If they are up at the half, its almost a guarantee to fade them in the 2H to hit both sides of the game. I keep thinking the oddsmakers will catch this sooner or later, but I guess as long the world keeps see value in the favs, we'll keep pounding the Blunder.

They have been good to me so far this season too. As we discussed JD underated slightly by the bookies, but they can afford to, as teams with an overall record and potrayed in the media like they are don't often carry much money.
I identified early in the season they were a team traveling under the radar (their W/L ratio not a true reflection of where they are at). How long it lasts we shall see.

i think the biggest advantage is being able to play the fav side at half time. they are usually big dogs, and when up at halftime, you find yourself with 10 pt middles. and knowing how they love to blow 2nh half covers it is almost like buying insurance at only half the juice.
