    Heat found their mojo, series is over. Still confused? Teams don't go on 33-5 runs and lose Series

    lol...wrong again. NY went on a 30-2 run in game 2 in New York. Series result = Pacers in 6

    Another weird line is the prop bet for San Antonio winning 4-1. Its only +500 compared to spurs in 4-2 +575 and then 4-3 +597. It might be wise if you think the Spurs win the series to just bet on 4-2 or 4-3. I realize the 4-1 line is lower because there are 3 games in a row in San Antonio but even with home court advantage I think its more likely that the Spurs win 2/3 at home and then steal one in the miami then the Spurs winning 3 games in a row at home.

    Nice point Mr. Handicap able.....I don't care what line is, I see Spurs winning game 3 and Miami winning game 4 with quick turnarounds. No spur played more than 30 mins in game 2, they will be rested and ready !

    Spurs were -3 for each game at home before the series started. Game 3 opened at -2.5 and got bet down to -2. Nothing special happening here.

    So you expected a 10.5 point swing, just by virtue of them changing states?

    to be fair such swings do happen, but only in 2-0 series (knicks/celtics, spurs/grizzlies)

    this is a 1-1 series so an 8 point swing is already more than enough.

    Trap line...they should be at least 5-6 point favs...if you want to entice action on the HEAT....the price dropped immediately after the line opened up....kinda like Miami here...

    Sharp comment there, but even still I like San Antonio. San Antonio is going to be at home for first time in this Finals after a blowout. ....That smells blowout...
