A Surprising Line

According to the scores application on my phone, Vegas had the Thunder as a one point favorite in the Zombie Sonics' Game 6 matchup versus the Lake Show. Now, I'm well aware that Kobe is past his prime and has an arthritic finger. I'm also aware that Durantula is unguardable, that Artest is overrated, that Fisher couldn't start for most teams, and that Westbrook is faster than any player this side of Derrick. Plus, the rolling Thunder were playing at home.

All that said, does it surprise anyone else that OKC was favored? You, the guy who likes OKC, have to worry about Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant in an elimination game, and yet someone's making you give up a point? Weird. I wonder what the Lakers think about this line?




(The Lakers ended up winning by 1 point, thanks to Gasol's tip-in. I guess the linemakers know what they're doing--big surprise.)
