    Did you think the line should be the same after they lost the game?

    becuase there is no team chemistry in miami. wade was better off with "supporting cast" surrounding him, not all stars. Jordan made everyone around him great enough to win championships. No one on Miami can do that.

    Because they got away with charging idiots for betting -150 Miami for the series win. = $$$ in the bank for the house.

    So I guess then the Bulls are "expected" to win their 4 homes games...int hat case, why would they not be favorites?

    I think he meant for the series, and expected as the home team obviously.

    It was a trap line obviously. If you were retarded enough to take -200 (which many were), you got tricked by the bookmakers.

    By the end of the series it will be clear that the Bulls should have been favoured the entire time, imo. However the Bulls advantages come from intangibles such as bench depth & quality of bigs, that don't translate well to stats analysis. However as it stands, better pricing on the better team works for me...

    Well yeah but he says the Bulls are expected to win their home games (4 of them), but expected to lose the series. That doesn't add up.

    The fact is the bookmakers were giving us a 46% chance for Miami to win Game 1, so when they didn't that obviously hurt their chances to win the series.
