    Miami - 2.5

    I just can't see the heat losing in this spot, I may be wrong but any thoughts?

    Yeah, I think everyone that is on Utah tonight is going based on what makes sense...but everyone who is on Miami, including myself is going based on the fact that this is a good spot for Miami.

    Me either, I think they are still looking to make up for that terrible loss in Portland a few nights ago, they made an example out of the Kings and I expect more of the same tonight

    That's what I'm hoping. Saw -2.5, didn't pull the trigger, went to -3 and took it. Hour later goes back to -2.5 and I had to put more on it. Utah a wary team just getting back home after road trip and several games the last week. Heat by 7+ I'd think.

    How come the line hasn't moved up to -3 or -3.5? Heat has been getting pounded all last night and all day today......yet the line hasn't budged off 2.5.

    Typically solid. I find its the best spots to make cash with so many good dogs but I'm going to start the season small being that we're on a lockout shortened season. Football I'm solid with too, basketball is the hardest to cap for me personally, I started solid but went south.

    Past results aren't indicative of future results. I love that so many people think that because a different game against different teams went one way that it must be the same days later. Heat aren't playing Portland on a Thursday night tonight, they're playing the Utah Jazz on a Monday night. Lebron James isn't missing a shot tonight because his team is only a 2.5 point favorite, Millsap isn't making that jumper because he knows in the back of his head his team is a 2 point underdog. The fact so many people think professional athletes play based on a set gambling line is hilariously simpleminded. I'm guessing Baltimore won on Saturday because they wanted to win, not because people had them at +9.5.
