Denver vs. Miami

TheChancellor · 12-03-09, 07:22 AM

When it comes to two good teams, I never bet against D-Wade, Lebron, or Kobe. Ever. These are the only three guys in the league right now that can consistently take over a game at any point and win, regardless of the talent that surrounds them. I obviously like Denver's chances but I'm staying away from this game. D-wade is the worst person to bet against.

I like Miami getting the 9 here. I think this will be tight. I am tempted on a Miami ML, still debating.

Miami ML doesn't look good, They can't fill it up like Denver can. Denver may not have someone to shut D Wade down, But they will make him take jumpers, and not allow him to make it to the basket easily. I see Denver winning, but don't think I'll touch this game, unless I can get a teaser going.

I make a fair line out to be about DEN -7.5, so I'm on the fence on this one. Probably a no play, but it's going to be an awesome game...

Miami +4.5 1H
Denver -8

Miami won't be able to keep up with Denver in the 2H.

Miami will lose.

But do they cover?!

I thought Denver was going to murder miami last time they played eachother and miami won by 8, but the game was in Miami.

When east coast teams beat Denver at home they usually pay big time when it gets to the mile high city.

jdhender · 12-03-09, 11:24 AM

Denver by double digits.

Teams from the east who play a game in the pacific (Heat played in Portland Tuesday) then travel to Denver face arguably the most difficult adjustment possible. I'll take Denver in this one.

I like the point prop of Melo -1.5 vs. Wade...the Heat often play better when Wade doesn't go off, so he seems to be dialing it back now that some of his teammates are coming forward more...and even if he goes off it will still be a coin flip with Melo who I believe has gotten at least 20 in every game this year.

This is powerful on back-to-backs, much less so when there's a day of rest.

Agreed, but its still a factor. Most trainers recommend 1 day of rest for every 1,000 feet change in altitude. The day off helps, but its not always enough.

making it easier to pull the trigger on DEN...... Everytime I bet against MIA ATS I get burned though.

branch0095 · 12-03-09, 02:57 PM

This is exactly why I like Denver in this spot. And I say they win by 13-15. Miami stays close through halftime.

I like Denver by dd's (but not enough to pull the trigger, yet).
