Heat always have the same pattern of feeling teams out in Game 1 and then getting better as the series go on. They are 5-0 in Game 2s when down 0-1 with LeBron, and in all five games the defense stepped up and vastly improved over Game 1. Just take a look at more recent Indiana series when points against first two games were 107 and then 83.
The difference this time is that for the first time in the LeBron era, Miami may not be the better team. So while I do think the defense will be a lot better and this game will be lower scoring than Game 1, I still think the Spurs find a way to win at the end with their superior depth. I almost never buy points in basketball, but getting the -4 at -120 could end up being key when all is said and done.

Im with u on d under but I feel game 2 will be decided on a one possession game. And can go either way, I think Spurs ML is a safer play. Or take the points and the heat. Just my 2 cent

Or you could literally go to Bovada right now and take the Spurs -4 @ -105 rather than -120.....

I would never play at Bodog/Bovada. Did a while ago and it was horrible.

Why? I use them among a few other books, and I have had a pretty good overall experience there. Fast payouts, offer basically any bet type you would want, and occasionally throw out inaccurate live lines they pay out amazingly, if you can catch them.....Only drawback is they are late to throw out certain lines vs. other sites....Doesn't hurt to have $ at different places to capatalize on opportunities like the -105 vs -120....Anywho, differences of opinion...

I used to use Bodog back in the day and they do pay. But the late lines, circled games, and a surcharge on plastic deposits convinced me to look elsewhere. Clearly 5D much > Bovada. DSI and Bookmaker as well.

You touched on one of the issues with too many late lines (or some not ending up being posted at all). Also too many circled games. But yeah, to each his own.

Hey LT, can I get your opinion on this?
A Prop for LARGEST LEAD UNDER 15 points (-115).

Miami could've easily won that game. Their defense was amazing for a long stretch until the last mins of 4th quarter. They also never got into any kind of rhythm because the amount of subs they had to make due to the heat. Its Heat ML for me or no play here

And i think that since I bet spurs series, the heat are a nice hedge getting 4.5. I'm hoping spurs win by 4. BOL
