What is the series price gonna be?

What are your predictions/thoughts on this series?

[BigDog]

the Heat will definitely be favored and I think they'll get the job done in 6 games.....Shaq,Wade and Riley will not lose! .......Sorry Dirk,I like watching you play but you'll have to settle with 2nd best this year!

[onlooker]

I like the Heat in 6.

I do not know if I will be betting anything in the Finals. Im not sure I can trust those damn refs.

[juuso]

Mavs will be favored clearly in series price. They have the home court and is the better team. Will probably be around Mavs -150 or a little less for series.

Mavs to win in 5 is my call. Shaq and Wade is not enough to beat this team in best of 7 series.

[Illusion]

Here's the series price from Pinnacle:

Thu 6/8 Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks
06:00 PM 1 Heat +127
2 Mavericks -137

Here is a poll so we can get a gauge on who the SBR forum members like.

[Illusion]

Just a friendly reminder, this is a 2-3-2 format.

[Illusion]

I haven't really cruched any numbers yet, but from what I have seen in the playoffs I think the Mavericks take the series in six games.

You better hope the numbers that you crunch tell a different story.

You better hope the numbers that you crunch tell a different story.

Wade is one of my big x factors and I highly doubt he repeats what he did in the Detroit series. I'm still looking at numbers, but at first glance I have Dallas winning. Also, the over looks like easy money for game one. I just put a few units on it and may add more once I finish capping.

[moses millsap]

Mavs in 6.

[SBR_John]

mavs in 6. Shaq gets tired and the mavs dont.

[Seattle Slew]

I'm siding with Dallas in 6 games. I don't think the Heat will be as tough in the Finals off the Detroit series. The Pistons were so bad, for whatever reason. I think Jason Terry could be the biggest factor for the Mavs.

[Mudcat]

I'm also on Mavs in 6.

[Willie Bee]

Hate to echo, but my gut says Dallas in 6 as well.

With a strong dislike for just about all things Dallas, I'm not picking the team from Texas. I do like Avery Johnson and the magic he's working with the Mavs. We'll never hear the end of it from our neighbors in the D-FW area. And god knows we won't hear the end of it from Mark Cuban

[Mudcat]

Damn, now I wish I had taken the sweep just to be radical.

[onlooker]

I must of missed the memo. Seems all of the SBR guys like the Mavs in 6. Sorry guys.

[slacker00]

Mavs in 7, but come back from being down 3-2.

[Dark Horse]

Dallas in 5.

They will up the tempo in this series, from slowing it down against the Suns, and run Miami out of the building.

The West is MUCH stronger than the East. Miami is overrated.

[Uncle Joe]

Miami wins 1 of 2 in Dallas to start and 2 of 3 at home then wins game 6 for the clincher. If Miami can not win it in 6 then Dallas will take it in 7. But I voted for Miami in 6.

[Blister]

Blister bets Dallas in 7. Blister is always right.

[Curse Fire]

Mavs in 4 baby! Coach Avary Johnson have
the guys ready and Dewayne Wade and
Shaquile wont know what to do with Dirk and
the boys. After the Mavs win it all than I think
it will fire up the Rangers in the baseball
playoffs and finaly the Cowboys win the Super
Bowl to make Dallas champions city!

[BuddyBear]

I like Dalls to sweep this series....

[Illusion]

15 like Dallas and 11 like Miami, but a majority think Miami wins in 6 games. This is really gonna be a great series.

[adriano]

Mavs in 7. Wade and Shaq good enough for 3 wins, even to win title but i think Dirk and Avery want it more.

ESPN poll has the Heat at 53% to win it out of 200 000 votes at this moment.

[El Guapo]

I vote Miami 7 game. Shaquille Oneal will be big winner inside. Dallas have no body to play him good in defense.

[priceperheadexpert]

Heat will win..

1..ZO, DIESEL, WALKER, GLOVE..They may never pass this way again..They smell it..Its theirs..

2. DIESEL..The mavs cant and wont stop him..Now he is resting..Not good for the Mavs..If there is one player who is benefiting from these 4 days its SHAQ..

3..Padre Riles..he will out coach Avery..He put this club together for this run..and took over..he has been here before and nothing will surprise him..Avery..there is a learning curve..You just dont take over in thios league and win right away..

4..Heat have depth..Posey,Zo, Glove, make them 8 players in rotation..Other than Stack..mavs not deep..Kid from Seton hall a player, but not proven along with harris in this spot..

5..2-3-2 format does benefit Mavs..

[Knoxy]

I'm surprised anyone is expecting a sweep! Neither team is THAT much better than the other. And don't go by what happened in the regular season.

[darkghost]

Here's the current series price @ pinny:

Miami +149
Dallas -159

And an interesting bet:

Will Heat ever be a game up in series?
17 Yes -163
18 No +148

[newkiebrn]

Go Miami!!!!

[onlooker]

32 votes up to now.
Very good. Im pleased to see people are taking part in this poll.

The Finals start tonight, and it looks like Miami in 6 is the favorable pick up to now. Anymore votes out there?

[Illusion]

It's about damn time the finals are starting. It's been almost a week.

[BadAzz]

I say Miami in 6.

Avery wants to stop Shaq with Diop instead of outrunning and outgunning him with Nowitzki and KVH. That fails of course and when he learns it is too late.

[Illusion]

Here's the latest series price after Dallas grabbed game one:

Fri 6/9 Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks
06:15 PM 1 Heat +225
2 Mavericks -250

[isetcap]

Don't F with SBR Forum. When the majority says Miami in 6, David Stern listens!
