There are many aspects of this game that are very interesting to me.
1. The line opened up at Miami -3.5
2 player suspensions for Miami. The line shifts a half a point. And some books are reporting the same line today at Noon. Miami -3.5
It makes no sense to me. Miami has struggled in Indiana with Wade an James. Totally different playing environment. Miami -3.5 on the road is like -9.5 at home... but the spread for game 5 was Miami -6.5 and -7. To me that's very interesting. It sort of tells me Miami covers this game. With everyone being on Indiana +3 and ML because of Miami's suspensions.
2. The other side to this game... what does David Stern want? If this series goes to a game 7... it would be televised nationally on ABC Sports... from my understanding on Saturday. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Does the NBA want 2 Game 7's on Saturday for more revenue? Will it help the gambling/entertainment world? Or is Philly Boston... all you need?
To me... the spread is a huge indication to take Miami tonight. But... I'm just going on vibe... intuition... trying to feel out the best outcome for this game... and what does the NBA/Stern want?
