Knicks vs OKC Thunder in NBA Gambling

January 17, 2012 · By writer

Saturday night on January 14th, the Knicks come into Oklahoma City to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in this major matchup between these 2 teams. It’s a tale of 2 teams as the Oklahoma City Thunder arrive in the game with a stable squad of young guns against the Knicks who it seems from year to year often enters into play with plenty of modifications going on. The Knicks are liked by 4 points and this may hold unless Durant has one of his typical killer matches.

Super Bowl odds

The Knicks have had a soap opera in the previous 15 years or so in the league. From nearly winning all of it with Patrick Ewing and Allan Houston to Allan Houston’s famous 100 Million-Dollar deal and his subsequent knee injury and that only covers the butt end of the 1990′s. The Isiah Thomas era of the Knicks will go down in league history as one of the most catastrophic campaigns in recent recollection. With these downfalls in past seasons, the Knicks looked to make a splash in the offseason and so they did once they secured Amare Stoudemire from the Phoenix Suns. The Knicks are paced by star SF Carmelo Anthony and the above mentioned Amare Stoudemire at power forward. C Tyson Chandler brings presence and veteran leadership at center whilst young guns G Iman Shumpert and PG Toney Douglas complete the squad.

Super Bowl odds

The Oklahoma City Thunder have had fantastic promise during the last couple of seasons with celebrity SF Kevin Durant breaking out and owning enemy teams with his play. Oklahoma City is comprised of a youthful squad behind Durant with G James Harden, PG Russell Westbrook, and PF Serge Ibaka taking up the slack. PG Nick Collison is the only mainstay from the old Supersonics squad, which switched to Oklahoma City in 2008. The Oklahoma City Thunder are presently atop in the standings in this youthful season with fantastic promise to complete the season ahead.
