I've got Miami in 6.

OKC wins Game 1. Heat Take Games 2-4. Thunder win Game 5 to send it back to OKC and Miami closes it out in Game 6.

I totally agree with this.

[t-wizzle]

I totally agree with this.

I am thinking Miami plays the role of frontrunner after they steal Game 2. Their confidence will be huge when they head back home to South Beach but I think they could get overconfident in Game 5 and lose that one before getting back on track and finishing it in 6.

slow the fukk down skin game 1 is not even close to over yet.

[BigDofBA]

T-Wizz said Durant was weak and would disappear.

Looks like Lebron disappeared and Durant dominated.

[Speedy88]

Ahhh time to hit up Miami series bet now.

[lsuheat911]

i'm hitting heat series price after they lose game 2.

[No coincidences]

Still think the Heat win the next three after watching this game t-wizz?

[eleuropeano]

OKC has 5 players + bench.
Miami has 1.5 players + no bench.

[t-wizzle]

Still think the Heat win the next three after watching this game t-wizz?

They might. My prediction about games 2-4 means nothing unless it ends up being true or absurdly wrong.

Was tonight a surprise? I don't think so.

[LT Profits]

All Miami has to do is win Game 2 and they will then be favored in the series.

[SportsPedagogy]

It is no surprise to see the same people who cheered for the Heat and LBJ last year are in here doing it again.

[sooner13]

I totally agree with this.

Really? So the Thunder have covered 5 staight games, are 9-0 at home in the playoffs and are gonna lose 3 straight PLUS lose 2 straight at home? That WILL NOT happen. Not even if they played this series twice.

[big0mar]

Miami will not be giving up 100+ points anymore. They'll be focused defensively for the rest of the series.

[LT Profits]

If Miami wins Game 2, then OKC's home mystique will be gone, making it easier (I said easiER, not easy) to do it again.

[Snowball]

Miami was GASSED in the 2nd half
they only had 1 day rest off a 7 gm series

[Seto]

If Miami wins Game 2, then OKC's home mystique will be gone, making it easier (I said easiER, not easy) to do it again.

Look at Miami last year, won 9 straight at home (9-0) in playoffs then lost 2 straight in games 2 and 6

[jstblaze]

OKC didnt even play that well.

They actually played pretty poorly at times through out first 3 quarters.

All OKC needed was an effort from Collison and some tough D by Thabo and they got it done.

Going to be a tough series for Miami.

[manny24]

some of you guys live on fantasy island...bunch of heat lovers throwing "if" statements around...silly fukks.

I understand that, but he was agreeing with t-wizzle when he said Miami wins games 2 thru 4 AND game 6. OKC isn't going to lose 3 straight AND lose 2 in a row at home is all I'm saying.

[Seto]

Didn't the Heat lose 3 straight and 2 straight at home last year despite being 9-0 at home and 13-3 in the playoffs (exactly like OKC this year)

[thechaoz]

Heat are pretenders ...they'll win one game ...this will be over in five

[BigDofBA]

- T-Wizz said Miami "would" and "should" be favored before the series. OKC closed around -170.
- T-wizz said Durant was weak and would get shut down in the 4th. lol
- T-Wizz said after OKC won game 1, Miami would only be +3.5 because they are going to win. Miami is currently +5.5.

T-Wizz thinks people backing OKC in this series are "f*cking idiots."

Miami will wins some games in this series but I feel even better about things than I did before game 1. Harden had a horrible game and the Heat got unexpected scoring from Battier and Chalmers, shot around 50%, and still lost by 11.

I'm not sure why people use Miami being tired in game one as an excuse. The Heat had more rest leading up to game 1 then they will leading up to game 2.

Miami isn't as deep as OKC and doesn't have as complete of a roster. That's why Miami got tired at the end of the third quarter and OKC took over.

Good luck this thread. We will see who the f*cking idiot is at the end of this thing.

Saying Durant is weak isn't a good analysis of why Miami was going to win. It's just a dumbass comment. So the three time scoring champion that has already proved himself in clutch time and time again is weak? You are dumb.

I'll give you Lebron in the 4th quarter every time and I'll take Durant. I'll win and you will lose.

You people should be betting Miami when they return home.

Your in the same spot Miami/LeBron fans were last year - after game 1. Your team had just run over their conference, were favourites to win the finals, played spectacular game 1, but their hopes were crushed.

I love Durant, he's my favourite player, and I love OKC...but this won't be their year. Miami has come back from the dead twice already this playoffs and they aren't losing now in the finals. Miami can and will make the proper adjustments, and won't get beat 3 more times by this team.

You can bump your threads/posts if ur team wins, but when they do lose, also be sure to bump those posts along with these as well, to admit how wrong you were.

I always admit when I'm wrong. I don't dissappear like most of the people on here. If I'm wrong I'll give props and still be thrilled with the season OKC had.

I honestly didn't expect this team to be this good this soon. The Thunder haven't even reached their full potential yet. Durant and Westbrook will get better. So will Harden and Ibaka.

The series isn't over after one game obviously. Miami has two of the top 5 players in the world. They're obviously a good team and will win some games in this series.

I just think it would be a better idea to play Miami when they return home but what the hell do I know. Miami was gassed in game 1 from chasing around a younger, deeper, and more athletic team.

Fair enough...I'm just surprised at how confident some people are betting OKC to win this series. Sure, they have played remarkable, but I just get the feeling that these people, including the books, have overreacted to Miami's struggles in the East.

And those struggles came primarily due to Bosh's injury, and partly due to Miami's overconfidence from last year. But it was good to see Miami can take a punch and fight back in a series when they're in trouble (something they didn't have last year at the East) - esp the way they did against Boston on the road, where Miami is usually shit.

Either way...gl and everyone can finally know which team is better after this series is over.

[LT Profits]

I'm not sure why people use Miami being tired in game one as an excuse. The Heat had more rest leading up to game 1 then they will leading up to game 2.

Because the Heat has two days off going into Game 1 and the Thunder were off for nearly a week. Teams will obviously both be on equal rest the rest of the way, so fact that there is only one day off between Games 1 and 2 becomes moot.

Ok....so TWizz was off a bit on this game. Did he not hit OKC -5 as well as OKC 2H? Who gives a shit what he said, the guy has been killing it in the playoffs this year and already cashed big on game 1. Best of all he has a track record for it all in one thread, unlike everyone else on here who claims to be hitting 70% but doesn't have anything to show for it.

BigD calm down bro, it was one game. Everyone who thought Miami would win this series was on OKC for game 1 anyways. Out of everyone you should know that being up 1-0 or even 2-0 doesn't mean the series is over after your Thunder came back to win four in a row against San Antonio.

[No coincidences]

They might. My prediction about games 2-4 means nothing unless it ends up being true or absurdly wrong.

Was tonight a surprise? I don't think so.

Maybe not, but I didn't see a lot to believe that the Heat can or are going to win this series.

[BigDofBA]

All I'm saying is that if you thought Miami should have been favored before the series and OKC was -170 to -175 at close. then you thought Miami would be +3.5 in game 2 and they are +5.5, you might be a little off on your analysis.

I dot think the series is over at all. Miami still has two superstars and three in a row at home.

I just don't see how anyone could be so confident in them.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Come on t-wizzle, you twink, put Heat series bet in our challenge thread.

Honestly if you go back and look at all the Spurs backers................you are making the same points for Miami as they did. For 4 games it was "Pop will make adjustments and they'll win" "Experience in these situations don't favor OKC", "Spurs were tired", "They won't lose 3 more times to OKC"....it's amazing the logic here.
OKC has came back too after being down 0-2 to the #1 team in the league! I emphasize team because Miami isn't. After sweeping the ex champs, smashing the Lakers and winning 4 in a row against the Spurs I don't know how anyone could say Miami won't lose 3 more games to OKC.
BigD is completely right.......if you feel there's value on Game 1 and 2 then you'll have to be exstatic about the series price when Miami is down 0-2 going into Miami!

[BigDofBA]

OKC didn't even play that well and won by Double digits.

Harden was a non-factor and we missed a ton of free throws.

Likewise, Chalmers and Battier were makin everything and it didn't matter.

I feel fine about OKC's chances. If OkC plays well they win going away.

[sooner13]

Yes sir! I've been to 2 playoff home games this year and they did not disappoint! I don't plan on seeing a loss at home until next season! Lol.
