Why are the Heat not favored in this series?

[homie1975]

I have a hard time believing Boston was +money vs. the Lakers in 08. Was that really the case? They had homecourt.

I got boston at +170 v lakers in 2008. Its 100% fact they were plus money

[nyplayer33]

spurs win it, home court is big in this series..they won vs okc last game when parker was out..there bench scoring is huge

[homie1975]

The most athletic spurs team in many years maybe ever but the problem is miami is more atlhletic

Miami bench cannot match Spurs. Spurs win, Duncan retires and even maybe Ginobili.

Boston was +200 on 5d

[Jikos]

Spurs will win this series. Miami cannot defend against their offense, too fast, too many threes, too much paint presence. Lebron is one man, the spurs have two starting fives. Duncan and pop ride off into the sunset. Book it.

Series line is spot on because of home court advantage, Heat will be slightly bigger favorites in their home games than Spurs will in their home games, but not by that much (Miami around -4.5).

[frugalgambler]

Because most punters remember only the most recent game. Spurs upset OKC in GM6, so they surely definitely will win it all ! The books opened Spurs at +105 and that was the correct line. No need to even discuss it.

Actually Heat could have a bit of value. If you assume Spurs -170 ML at home and Heat -195 ML at home, series price works out to a no-vig line of Spurs -105

The Spurs have legit 9 players and the Heat have 2 1/2

The Spurs have legit 9 players and the Heat have 2 1/2

But Heat may have the ONE that matters most. Not an easy series for me to call.

what book? first line I saw was at betonline at -115

Betonline opened SA -135, by the time you saw the line, it had already moved.

[seaborneq]

I took the Heat +130. I guess the sharp money is on the Spurs. The line did not move.

[jjgold]

Do you guys even watch hoops?

[seaborneq]

These two teams are even. Both are great teams

[seaborneq]

Last 6 quarters have shown me the spurs have been the best team the last two seasons.
