    Is the Heat the bookies most profitable team in history??

    I can't think of a more inconsistent team and they are still a favorite to win the NBA title? They have wrecked a lot of chalky ML parlays.

    If they make it to the finals they win it no doubt.

    They won't make it to the finals though, even if david stern tries to rig it so they do.

    They have to go through Chicago and Boston. This team can't win on the road and is 50% at home.

    I understand your point but the squares will still take Miami nonstop. The lines wont be favorable in the playoffs.

    Heat are slumping, they need Haslem to give more depth inside.

    On the other hand, Perkins has made OKC legit title contenders. They are better than Dallas, Denver, and as good as LA. Remember last year they took LA to 7 games without Perkins.

    With Perkins and Ibaka guarding the rim, I can't think of a better team that is better inside defensively.

    This year and last years Cowboys teams were in the same boat. Obviously the Heat play more games.

    I'd have to assume that not betting the Heat once this entire year would be a pretty smart move.

    I dont think the Heat can win a 7 game series with a top team. Look at the minutes tonight and every night they are in a tough game. Those three are going to be dragging against Chicago. They play very soft preimeter defense so all three west teams; mavs, lakers and spurs are going to wear them out. Tons of heat futures out there to win the east and the championship. Dont see it.

    I have done pretty good fading them in spots this year. Too much hype IMO. Wish I would of faded them more against teams over .500. Some ML's would of been nice too. I didn't play tonight's game.

    Easily the Lakers. They destroy most square bettors when they least expect it. Like losses to Cleveland, home losses to the Kings, Bucks, and few other notable non-covers against weaklings.

    The Bulls can't beat miami in a 7 game series because they only have one guy that can create offense. IN the playoffs your not gonna get those taci calls. Lebron and Wade are different animals in the playoffs, evidenced by their stats and wade's late game heroics every year. In a 7 game series with adjustments and playing every other day it favors the heat. The Bulls have a shoot-first pg that holds the ball 95% of the time. Tell me 1 pg that did that in the past 20 years and won a ring or even got to a finals. Iverson is the closet but he played the 2 guard. Every team will pack in the paint in the playoffs and rose will get multiple looks from both wade lebron chalmers in a 7 game series your going to put that on a kid that never did anything in the playoffs the bulls have no experience. the bulls can win 3 separate games but who has the energy to guard wade and lebron for 7 games every other day????? Pierce and Allen? Allen was tired in game 6, 7 we all saw that he had no more lift in his legs after guarding kobe for 7 games. missing wide open jump shots guarding these guys for 7 games requires more than Luol Deng and Brewer/Bogans. The Bulls don't have any other guys that can create their own shots at any time they will just double rose at the top of the key late in games and make it give it up

    the only teams coming out of the east are boston or miami

    I told you the regular season doesn't mean anything. My post about Miami, Boston, and Chicago is spot on. Paver, keep looking at regular season stats pal. Good luck with your chicago future, i told you that teams pack in the paint and rose is not going to win a championship being a volume shooter like that. I said this before the REGULAR season even started.
