Its been a tough couple of weeks TRD, everyone goes through a downswing, but we need to stay positive mate. Up 17 units for the season is no slouch and we still have the best of it to come. Dont dwell on the past and lets move forward and aim for a solid finish to the season.
I like some of the suggestions by others to reduce your number of tips, but if your confident and feel you've got the edge I say go for it.
Lost the two bigger plays, Mav's blew it in the 4th so close to a winning day.
NBA RECORD 125-7-116 +17.5 Units

Heat -2.5 (3.5x)
I’m playing the Miami Heat here for a reasonably large play; I believe they will produce good basketball against Indy for a number of reasons. Firstly it’s clear Miami are a team that certainly takes “days off” and can produce some below-par performances that have people questioning them however at other times they come with their full force and destroy opponents. Indiana have also had an up and down season and seem to be most effective when they lull opponents into a low scoring grinder where their excellent defense usually wins out. I don’t think Miami will allow Indy this advantage, I think they will be aggressive and cause many issues all over the floor for Indy. Offensively the Heat have some options I believe to be a large advantage. Wade will be in a prime position to have a solid game, nobody in the back court for Indiana can adequately guard Wade who has been slowly getting back to his old self – Wade will need to attack the basket drawing fouls and getting to the line. Chris Bosh will pose an offensive threat and a defensive disrupter as the Pacers bigs will have to leave the paint to adequately guard Bosh’s 17 ft jumper , Hibbert has proven that he is slow at coming out to his opponent and is hesitant about leaving the paint, he as poor footwork on the defensive end. Good ball movement is key for the Heat with Wade/James slashing to the basket and kicking out to the three point shooters and/or Bosh open for the baseline J. Defensively is where the Heat will be challenged and this will be the key for them winning this game, it’s no secret that Miami lacks inside presence and a pure rebounder, Miami need to go after every defensive rebound. A great defensive matchup will be LeBron onto George, I think LBJ will harass George and give him hell forcing him to take a lot of contested jump shots. Wade will spend time on Hill and with his elite perimeter defense and length should put Hill’s rhythm off. I expect LeBron to move to West at times too although I think Battier will do a fine job on West. Because West likes to take a lot of jump shots it should be imperative that the other big’s on the floor for Indy are boxed out and the defensive rebounds should be taken comfortably as West will be too far from the rim to impact the boards. Overall I think this is a great spot for Miami to showcase their skills to the NBA and remind people that they are on another level to everyone else in the East. Miami has been sloppy against Eastern Conference rivals, this is a great spot for them to get one back.
I'm feeling for you mate, tough loss. I stupidly ended up in a position with my in game trading where I stood to make more money if the Heat won, so I actually lost a unit all up, which kind of sucks. Anyway hope you were on the Tennis mate, great start to the day, up 3-1 so far.

Tuff day but looks like some nice value to make it up tomorrow. I know the Heat can play great ball but watching that game today they looked like a pack of unfocussed bums just looking to get on the team bus and take a nap. They really do take games off. I might avoid Heat bets till after AS break now. Surely they will bring it down the stretch.
Hornets looking good tomorrow. Grizz too and I don't mind the Bucks at Chicago. Research to be done though.
