    Who's buying Heat series at +120 now?

    Strongly considering it. This thing is going seven games. You can always hedge it if you get nervous....

    Wouldn't it be wiser to put half of what you would bet on the series on heat ml g2. If they lose that game then put the other half on heat series. Course I'm on the bulls so I think both bets are losers, but you'd get the most value for the money.

    Good point. Game two is a tossup. I'll probably wait, then grab some Heat series at bigger plus odds if they lose.... I'm not sold on them taking game two at all....

    Heat will come out much stronger game 2. My money is just on game 2, even though I feel they will still win the series anyway

    Why is everybody buying this knee jerk reaction? Is it because of the point margin that Chicago won by? Their supposed to take care of home people.

    There's a HUGE difference between defending homecourt in a competitive game and what happened in Game 1. It wasn't even competitive in the second half.

    The depth factor and advantage underneath aren't going away.

    It's one thing to hold home court, quite another to dominate them in crunch time. When it's clear 1 team has the better coaching staff, better defense, size advantage, quicker, and deeper it's hard to think the heat will win the series. It's not like the bulls just made every shot they threw up and got lucky.

    chicago's offense would. who did the pacers have exactly that should be considered a force underneath? carlos boozer will be the key to the series.

    Chicago looks awful good Sunday but I believe Miami wins game 2. Vegas think so, the line wouldnt be 1.5 if not. Bulls dominated game one and the line is the same as game 1.

    Exactly. Who will guard Rose also? No one has done it yet for Miami.

    No, Vegas thinks the public will still be on the heat. Which I'm sure they will be.

    I am not confident about either team, but after game 1 it is hard to be confident about the Heat.

    The bulls were priced as Dogs with homecourt, now 1 game up, already showing they can win on their home court, and they are just finally barely a fav?

    I haven't been following the nba lines much but I would imagine the lines don't change much throughout the series

    I say wait. If the Bulls win game 2 you can get a better line afterwards. If the Heat win you can take the line safe in the knowledge that the series is over. Defense or no defense, the Bulls have underachieved in the playoffs and they can't win if Derek Rose doesn't have a huge game offensively.

    It's a great emotional hedge, because if you lose money, at least those douchebags are out of the playoffs.

    That's a good price for Heat at this moment. If it goes to 2-0 Bulls add on to it.

    keep taking Chicago until Miami proves they can beat this team. They're 0-4 tries so far, what makes anyone think they can suddenly win 4 against the Bulls when they havent even won ONCE yet against them this season? Think rationally about this.

    Chi is a really bad matchup for the Heat having said that though, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade is like a freight train. How long can you keep denying them.
