You took Heat in game 1 chief

No I was in Pacers +2.5. Look at my picks thread for that day. I said all along Pacers probably win Game 1, Heat win series. Although I only played +2.5 spread like a wuss.

[LT Profits]

I just don't understand why you play Heat @ -185 when you can play them tomorrow -140

Heat lose game 2 they lose the series.

That's not true at all, all Pacers will have done is hold serve at home. Heat would do same in Miami. Then question becomes will Heat win Game 5 or Game 7 in Indiana. But yeah, would be a lot easier if they just win Game 2.

LOL

That wasn't a "pick" thread, I was just quoting the opening line as soon as it came up a few minutes after Indiana Game 6 vs. Wizards ended.

[LT Profits]

He was just citing the opening lines he didn't say he was betting either side in that thread. He has a daily thread with his picks.

Seto got it.

[brainfreeze]

They lost 2 straight to Indiana and 3 straight to Boston in 2012 actually. But they haven't dropped b2b games in the last 6 series (2013 and 2014)

I think it's probably the play too, I have just bet them for game 2 for now though. Of course if they lose game 2 I will bet them for the series. Basically the only thing that would truly bury me is if they win by 1, making me lose my game 2 bet as well as any chance to get a decent series price on them again.

Agree

[TonyTall]

heat will trail 1-2 (-120)

maybe even 2-3 (+170)

im waiting until then

hopefully heat will train 1-2 and san antonio will be up 2-0

at that point Heat can probably be snagged up at +250 for title


but OKC will win 3 games this series im almost sure of it. so spurs will be haggered coming in

[vividjohn45]

Thing with that is they then HAVE to win Game 2 for you to win. I think -185 for series right now is safer. They will won one game in Indiana, but it may be Game 5 or 7.

Why even lay -185? It suxs.

[TonyTall]

Pacers took heat 6, then the next year 7

heat down -185 is not good value unless you are convinced its all fixed. which it isnt NBA could careless if bron wins 2 or 3 titles with the heat

[Cuse0323]

Pacers still have no shot. Better number just means more you can put on it.

It is if you work out the math. Heat will be favored every game and they will be around -350 on the ML in their home games.

[Seto]

People act like the Pacers were oh so close to beating the Heat last year.

The truth is they were light years away. The Heat won all the key games (3, 5 and 7) by 14+ and all 3 were pretty much over by the end of the 3rd quarter. All this with a hobbled Wade and Bosh playing like a complete and total vagina.

Now they did win the "survival" games 4 and 6 (which I bet them for btw) and do deserve credit for that but all they did was stay alive in those games. It's like saying a guy was "oh so close" to winning a set in tennis just because he held serve after already being a break down and then got pummeled on all of the other guy's service games.

The team that was "oh so close" to beating the Heat last year was the Spurs and they will beat them this year.

[No coincidences]

Have you seen my past two months. Especially the playoffs.

And Heat will not lose this series.

In the NBA, it's all about matchups. Atlanta was a difficult matchup for Indiana, and the Pacers obviously weren't bringing their A game at the time. Miami has issues with Indy's frontcourt, and the Pacers might finally play up to their potential and motivated. What has happened in the two series prior to this one is irrelevant. You know that.

I don't know what's happening to you, LT. I'm not saying Indy wins this series necessarily, but to dismiss the idea that Indy can't win three of the next six games is pretty narrow-minded.

I'm not convinced Miami is that much better than Indiana overall. Heat are a year older, and they didn't do anything to improve their roster this season. If I had a gun to my head I'd guess the Heat win this series in 6 or 7, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that they get knocked off and I really don't see taking them at the current series price as a very good bet (there are a lot of better wagers out there than tying up your money at almost 2-to-1 odds over the course of the next week-plus). And I agree with you that the winner of this series ain't beating the Spurs anyway.

Yeah I mean obviously anything is possible but I would say Heat series price now is a decent play. I'm happy with just taking them for game 2 for now though.

I'm considering going large on Spurs futures... We'll see got a couple days to think this through.

I would be nothing short of stunned if SA didn't win it all.

[TwoWays]

spurs really look like the team that's playing the best in these playoffs. san antonio vs. pacers would be a terrible tv rating matchup.

[TwoWays]

spurs are too dynamic this year. they can play big, half court, small ball…have superstars that can finish games...spurs have it all.

[jjgold]

Sign in suckers taking the heat?

[LT Profits]

Sign in suckers taking the heat?

Sign at -2.5 -104. I'll risk them winning by 1 or 2 because I don't see it happening, I see a safe win

[Pauulzcappin]

-2 available at +100 now. Big red flag.

The bottom line is that when both teams play at their best, Miami is simply better. I do not see a fully motivated Heat team losing a home game this series, but I do see them stealing one on the road.

Signing in. lol.

Still time to change your mind JJ.

Indy won in Miami in 2012 when George and Stephenson were babies and they won gm 2 last year....had gm 1 too. They're currently on a 5 gm road winning streak and I think not playing Gm 3 til Sat. could work in their favor as well. I think Miami prob pulls it out tonite but if they don't I like Indy's chances of coming home being up 3-1. Spurs win it all....def agree there

[Seto]

I think I'm gonna parlay Spurs win NBA champ and Djokovic to win Roland Garros big. Heat and Nadal finally go down this year.

[Big Bear]

Wait til the Heat get down 0-2 and then go big on the Heat.

Pacers win again tonight and then the Heat will win 2 straight at home to even the series.

[Big Bear]

The Pacers know if they lose tonight the series is over.

do you honestly think Vegas in going to get raped tonight?


everybody and their grandmother, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, and drug dealer is on the Heat tonight.

The Heat know they are invincible at home and they will still win the series but the heat go down tonight.

The thing is though the Heat never felt threatened either year, especially since they had home court advantage each season. It is a different mindset this year because, for the first time, some people are actually questioning whether or not Miami is the better team. That seems like enough motivation to me to come up big at home every time, knowing they have to to avoid having to win TWICE at Indy.

I don't know. Heat were 32-9 at Home this season tied for 4th best in the league. Can see INDY stealing one on the road if need be. INDY in 7.

Are you implying that the Heat wouldn't care in case they lose tonight?

Also would it be the first time that Vegas takes a big hit?

So their response was to get their heads kicked in for Game 1?

That wasn't the real Heat, when was the last time they EVER showed up for a Game 1. How many times have they lost Game 1 and then won four straight? I would be more concerned if the Heat we saw in Game 1 shows up in Game 2, but I highly doubt that happens.

[LT Profits]

Joey Crawford working Game 2. Always nice to have the refs on your side too.

[Fred The Hammer]

The Pacers may end up as the Cavs to Jordans Bulls but Indy isn't scared and thats a big part of it. Stephenson posted up LeBron and easily scored on him w/the left....had to be the first time I've ever seen a guard post him up like that.

Heat have no answer for George and especially Hibbert. If Hibbert plays like he gives a damn this series, that's a serious problem for Miami.

[TwoWays]

Stephenson was hitting some ridiculous low efficient long 2's. He is low iq baller.
