both these updated series prices look tempting

I love the Spurs line. Spurs lost home court, so what, they may still win in 5.

I'm more iffy on the Heat line. Nets are blazing late inthe season, while Miami just seems apathetic and sluggish, even with some infighting. Gary Payton is a cancer, Wade is frustrated with allof these geezers that can't run up and down the court anymore. Shaq never had any passion and already has 3 rings, what is he playing for? A Heat early vacation wouldn't surpise me. Money on the Heat would be nervous money for me.

Stupidly I bet the Spurs at -210 yesterday before their game. Oh well, its not like the Mavs are all of the sudden going to live up to expectations. Spurs in 6.

Why are the Mavs favored over the Spurs?

because they have homecourt advantage right now in a close to pickem series

Well, I don't know if you guys have been watching the same series I have, but I think the Mavericks are just the better team. Surprisingly, they're at least the Spurs' equal defensively, and the most unstoppable player in the series has been Josh Howard.
If Parker doesn't return to full health, the Spurs may not win another game.

Second to what Razz said. Mavericks are looking much stronger team right right now and is my pick to win it all this season.

Spurs are playing like crap, but like every other great team they will find their way.

Great teams always do and that's why I jumped on the new series price. I have the Spurs winning in 7.

I haven't been watching the series. I'm just reading boxscores, barely following the NBA. Just in case you guys are using my opinions to formulate actual real money wagers.

Since Razz is on the Mavs for the series, I'm not playing it at all. I respect Razz too much.
