    Does home court mean that much or...

    The books realize the Heat should roll at home? From a +5 dog to now -5.5 at home. Not even the Pacers were getting that much respect after splitting it 1-1 in Toronto.

    Books adjust. Gotta try and minimize the Heat money without completely exposing themselves.

    In this heat series homecourt means nothing. Teams are almost even. Raps depth will wear heat out over the series.

    I think Miami home court is around 4 points, so line seems fair. Toronto home court is 4/4.5 points. Seems books rate Miami -1 on neutral court even though Raps are a 2-seed.

    Both teams should be pissed off it's not 2-0 for them.

    true JJ.

    One other observation. I've never seen one player act hurt every time there's contact. It's frustrating watching wade roll around on the floor every play.

    Toronto definetely has more depth, not sure how it's debatable.

    From what I've seen so far Miami does't go to a full bench unit or even 4 bench guys like the raps. They mix bench guys in with starters throughout the game. Lack of depth or coach doesn't trust that unit fully.

    It's disappointing the brick bros can't have one decent shooting game to their season averages. Toronto missing a lot of good looks.

    Yep the guy is fighting it hard. Has the yips.

    I expect Debrick to miss always but Lowry can do so many more things to help the team win. Dragic is a terrible defender, drive and kick or becacuase Hassan goes for a block every play, get the ball up on floater and JV cleans up rebounds.

    Terrence Ross somehow found life and then there's CoJo. Patterson, Biyombo and JJ a combined 2 pts last game lol. I do like Biyombo's hustle though. Powell was a -19 last game too and he's somehow starting

    Canuck I watch playoffs. Toronto can't hit a shot and yet the heat are tied 1-1. The heat will regret not winning game 2.


    Anyways I'm tired of this back and forth. Good luck on your heat bets.

    I have raps series +165. I'm happy.

    I hate the whole "Can't hit shots" argument. They can't hit shots because they've been defended well/not skilled enough. Their style of play is such high variance because Casey is too stubborn to feed JV in the post all game. Lets allow DeRozan to do pull up jumpers and see how that works out for him. It's not like this is a surprise.

    Home court advantage is the biggest one in basketball out of all sports (baseball, soccer, football, hockey, etc.)

    If you don't think home court matters you're fooling yourself. Look at the WCF and now the Finals. If OKC had home court in game 7 they probably go from losing a close game to winning.

    Cavs are different at home just like every other team.
