Pound Miami - 4.5
IMO this is a great line
couple things to consider here
1)Miami is 5-0 vs Philly this year with all 5 games being decided by 8 points or more
2)Miami beat Philly on Road by 10 points early in the year
3)Miami matches up great with Philly because they have similar playing styles....Miami is just much more talented physically
I See Miami winning this something like 98-85
The problem is every single person in the world sees the exact same things you just mentioned, yet why is the line only -4.5 then?

why would it be any more??
it's a 2-7 matchup, no way would the home underdog get any more than 5 points
I really think this is gonna be a sweep here. Philly has been completely dominated in 7 out of 8 quarters (basically the entirety of 2 games with the exception of a quarter a half or so)
they just don't have the talent to compete with Miami as the heat are seemingly locked in (carry over effect from strong finish to the regular season)

I agree with this line, fell in love with all the road teams actually
ya fine they might cover but playoffs are so different from reg season that you can't assume it'll be the same result

and both games so far have been miami wins by 8+ points
they would have won game 1 by 15+ points if not for a late game collapse after getting a huge lead
I don't think this is certainly a lock, but it's the safest play of the next couple of days. I don't really like any of the other plays
I think this is a no brainer really
I think it's a good play too, but it worries me that it seems so obvious. I would have expected a line more like -7 here.I think this is a no brainer really

for a home dog in the playoffs? that's crazy talk
Not at all. Philly never truly had a chance in either game despite an off night from both Wade and Lebron in game 1.

I have Miami +3.5 ...how can it lose? who knows... that team in game 2 looked down and out, like they just know it is pointless to even give it their all vs Miami... like after their best effort in game 1 coming up short by almost 10, that they will be swept out by the Talents of South Beach.
Pacers scare me, I dunno... got the Bulls +3.5 as well, might have to hedge my big stupid bet with the Pacers ML and maybe hit both lol nah not me... worst luck ever.
At least with betting, watching the NBA is entertaining for 8 weeks
like heat. gl to all tomorrow.
like heat as well but most of my money is on indiana plus 4.5
Zig zag effect! 76ers gotta bounce back after their loss. It extends their series. More games means more $$$The problem is every single person in the world sees the exact same things you just mentioned, yet why is the line only -4.5 then?
I didn't make this up. There's articles on it.
What about Magic -1 ?
