Heat are the play, let's be real

[WinningIsKeY]

A publicly backed dog in San Antonio, will be out of "game-time" rhythm out of the gate. Heat are playing with authority at home, and IMO could easily crack this game open wide. The potential for a heat 10 point win in this spot is much greater than spurs stealing this one.(To all the teasers) Understand the heat SWEPT OKC last year, and OKC was much younger,longer, athletic, and DEFENSIVE. I understand Spurs are a quality ball club, but there will be some glaring mismatches here . BOL to all

i like the heat tonite for all the reasons you stated but i dont know if i am actually gonna make a play on the game...im on the fence

[aireent777]

So is there any chance this game will be decided by a point or two? Or may I rephrase it, will this game be going to the wire at the end?

Understand the heat SWEPT OKC last year

No they didn't. Also, the Spurs are pretty much the only team that could beat the Heat in a series right now and they probably were last year as well.

I'm going big on Heat to win Series... Hopefully they take the first two home games, then I can hedge with a nice +Spurs line, because come game 3 when spurs are home for three games in a row the entire series could turn around.

If heat do drop the first or second game, then I still feel good about their chances to still win in 6 or 7.

When comparing this Heat team vs this Spurs team, what exactly are the glaring mismatches??

[Git Lo]

OP gets it, nice write up

[vinhmen]

Key difference is SA has low post advantage in match up with Heat while OKC had zilch.
