People seem to be very short sighted basing their bets on the last matches. The only reason why the series price for the spurs is going down.

EVeryone knew beforehand miami would have problems with indiana because of their size advantage. How is it everyone deciding their bets because of the problems miami had? Does not make sense to me. From the last 5 matches maimi have won 4 and the spurs 1. the last 3 meetings it is 3-0.
In comparison to indiana these teams faced off 6 times the last 2 season and it is 3-3. This season indiana have won 2 of 3. So miami-indiana playing 7 games should not be such a surprise.
Continue with the logic. Spurs had an issue guarding Steph. Simple - as he was basically unarguable, especially due to the lack of a top defender in the Spurs backcourt.

Leonard can hold his own against James. Nobody on the planet currently or in the history of the games could shut down James, but I have full faith in Kawhi to at least slow him down a bit, which is all that really needs to happen.

Miami has to get a big showing from their backcourt to be successful in this series.
