no way boston wins tonight, miami just has to many players that need to be doubled teamed leading to lots of open shots and alleyoops, its also gonna go over

Tree Rollins · 10-26-10, 12:33 PM

Celtics are at home. Have spent way more time playing together. Don't have significant injuries. And should dominate down low and control the boards.
All of this plus Boston has been waiting all summer for this game, they're tired of everyone crowning the Heat.
I've just been waiting to place my bet because i knew the line would move because of all the hype on Miami.

InTheRed · 10-26-10, 12:38 PM

-2 now at Bodog. Could be -3 or -4 by gametime.

Lebron and Wade are the only ones who would ever need to be double teamed...

Miami is missing one of their best pure shooters (Miller), plus Wade is still a little banged up.

Celtics bench will dominate Miami's, C's win by a handful

king · 10-26-10, 12:50 PM

Bodog has the Miami for -2 and Boston for +2. The pre-season I think the Miami were sandbagging and not play serious until the regular season starts which is today. So everybody has a fresh start. I still have no idea how the outcome will be since they are both a strong team. Boston has the 5 all star on the team and Miami has 3 all stars but on a higher level. So it could go either way.

edit i see InTheRed also uses bodog. Not sure if bodog has the best odd for Boston, but if so I would play on bodog then.

If that's the case, go to pinny and bet ov 63.5 wins.. you don't need 95% wins...all you need is to win 78% of the games to cash in this ticket..

not that easy brock landers..

That is an absolute lock of a bet, barring a ton of injuries. Those season win totals are usually a little low-balled because of injury factor...In this case, I believe 2 out of the big 3, would have to get hurt.

I got 1000 points this goes over. Any takers?

Bill Dozer · 10-26-10, 01:51 PM

I think players will bet the Heat to 3. I like the Celts getting 3 at home. If this game is 2-3 weeks from now, it's a totally different matchup but new teams rarely come out gel'n. Not having Mike Miller is also a difference maker. You can't leave him to double team those other three guys. He's as big of a piece to this team as Bosh IMO.

Miami Heat may come out going nuts and going to the FT line every trip but Eastern conf champs +3 at home would be juicy. Even if you can get a 2.5 and cross the one bucket you have to be happy with your seat coming in.

Celtics have Shaq and Jermaine O'neal playing big minutes they have to adjust too

jrgarza88 · 10-26-10, 02:14 PM

That line could be -3 or -4 by gametime. Thats why I jumped on Miami -1.5. BOL

SlickFazzer · 10-26-10, 02:18 PM

every square in the world will be on Mia all year long. there should be plenty of good opp to bet against them this year.

TheLock · 10-26-10, 02:19 PM

I'm on BOS ML +105

POTVINSUX · 10-26-10, 02:20 PM

Celts +2 for me

True but they are basically stand-ins for Perkins. The offense doesn't go through them.

305GURU · 10-26-10, 02:24 PM

Lebron and wade argue over the last shot

...nate robinson steals the
ball slam dunks it as time expires...its possible...

WATCH OUT FOR CELTICS BENCH. CELTICS BENCH WILL DOMINATE MIAMI'S.

Miami has a garbage bench... thats about as newsworthy as saying elton johns gay

kmoney · 10-26-10, 02:25 PM

hopefully will be a close game, I want to be entertained here

miami needs 6 players tonight, the bench is for the season. the bench will have little to do with this game for miami if they wanna play 6 guys tonight, totally doable to prove a point for them to try and win the game at all costs. the celtics will not do this no matter what.

The Cetics will not win at any cost or

The Celtics will not try and win the game at all costs

castle · 10-26-10, 02:38 PM

Taking Celtics, waiting on some line movement.

Bradyd · 10-26-10, 02:41 PM

While Boston has the advantage with team chemistry and experience. Miami has the advantage that not many people are talking about: How to defend Wade, Bosh, and Lebron when on the same team.. No one knows how to yet. While they could try to stop the other players, this trio could get over 80 points alone.. I'm honestly thinking about just watching and not betting this game..

Pauulzcappin · 10-26-10, 03:02 PM

Miami opened as a favorite nicky.

eonizuka · 10-26-10, 03:08 PM

I agree, chemistry is going to be more important than some people think. It is one thing when you are playing a far weaker team. Then talent is going to get you through no matter if you have a few turn overs or trips down where the wrong guy shoots. In a close game though, I think there is some value in a veteran squad like the Celtics.

i think both are more capable offensively than perkins is though

jermaine would take and hit a lot of those open jumpers that perkins wouldnt last season and shaq will be hard to stop in and around the hoop, especially if the heat try and avoid fouling

MIA might turn out to be the NYY of basketball. every yr, the YANKS win close to 100 games and end up in the RED.. people will love to bet MIA like they love to bet NYY.

expect to see MIA be 17 pt favs and higher this year at home and the squares will be all over MIA. MIA can very well end up 68-14 and be 39-43 ATS..

Pauulzcappin · 10-26-10, 03:18 PM

Nicky my line for Miami ATS is over/under 35 covers

Garnett on Bosh, Pierce on Lebron, Allen on Wade, and other players double team if they drive the ball. The PG and C will be able to help out a ton, bc Miami offers next to nothing at those positions tonight. Chalmers out, that rookie C out, Miller out

thebestthereis · 10-26-10, 03:29 PM

i cannot understand for the life of me why the celtics are underdogs. miami hasn't played a game together yet, are people just that stupid or am i missing something? miami might win the championship in the end, but how can you think they are the best team in the nba (i say this because no other team would be favored here, LA would even be + 2) right NOW. i guess the nba is where amazing happens like they say.

Husker36 · 10-26-10, 03:29 PM

I'll take Miami anytime the line is this low.
