I have been a long time Heat fan and have started to notice that D-Wade and the heat do not lose @ home in the playoffs.
5-1 2003 playoffs
6-2 2004 playoffs
11-1 2005 playoffs
0-2 2006 playoffs (this team was horrible and got swept by the bulls)
No playoffs 2008
1-0 playoffs 2009 so far
23-5 @ home since 2003 in the playoffs. That is an 82% win percentage @ home in the playoffs. If you don't count that pitiful injury plagued 2006 team then you are looking at a 88% win percentage.
Couple these stats with the Hawks horrible road record in the playoffs ,they are 0-5 in their last 5 road playoff games and have not won a road playoff game in over 10 years and you will now know why the HEAT WILL WIN TONIGHT.
BOOKED HEAT -3.5 -135
