I've been betting on the NBA for years and I've seen this script repeating itself so many times.

Those who were so sure the Lakers will grab the championship in Game 5 are now turning into those who bet on Miami. Seems like it's easy to twist people's minds so easily.

Miami in Game 5 had a spread of +7 points, now it's +5 points and the psychology works great.

Here is what I think about Game 6 and about the NBA in general:

I expect the Lakers to win Game 6.
The "chance" to bet on the Lakers to win with the spread or with Money line is now, not in game 7 because there won't be any game 7.

The guy who bet his rent money on Miami - I loved that GIF someone posted to you seeing Danny DeVito saying "Ha" burning money

My suggestion to you is to "hedge" your bet and bet on the Lakers winning Game 6 (not the series as the odds are better) and thank me later.

Jerky makes 6 bets like that a week he's fine Ari

Okay then,

Now I want to relate to the 'why' question.

Jimmy Butler is a great player but I can't see him repeating the same thing he had in Game 5.... in Game 4 he played almost the whole 48 minutes and scored only 22 points (the entire game was quite low, going almost 20 pts under the original line).

I would assume he would go as high as 20-25 pts, I'm expecting more from the Lakers squad, this time Danny Green should be sharper, and beware of the Kuzma ... JR Smith should drop a few three pointers and overall the Lakers should win it this time.

The only statistic I don't "like" is that the Lakers never lost 2 consecutive playoff games in a row - the NBA is all about breaking statistics time after time so I would have preferred this not to be a factor but I'd say I could live with it if that's the only statistic going "against" the Lakers in game 6.

arie I out rank you! Old man here with front row seats behind bench. I bet Miami first half last game and believe the same for this game. Last game I bet LA to win, this game I'm taking Miami. Lakers are to implode.

Butler play great but so did James so now what

This is exactly what I said initially:

It's not rocket science.
Go to Games 1 and 2 and look at the stats:

Game 1
David 34
James 25
Caldwell Pope 13
Green 11
Caruso 10

Game 2
Davis 32
James 33
Rondo 16
Kuzma 11

I think Kuzma would be the key player tonight, Kyle Kuzma can be a beast and much better than Tyler Herro if he plays his best.

His props bet is o/u 9.5
Davis is 26.5 just like Butler (!!)
Herro is 16.5 and I think he is overrated with this figure.

I think more likely lakers gm 5 backers r doubling down gm 6

[adila1401]

this time Danny Green should be sharper, and beware of the Kuzma ... JR Smith should drop a few three pointers and overall the Lakers should win it this time.

agree w/ you on the Lakers win, however this is laughable

[pavyracer]

Adam Silver wants a game 7.

[arie1985]

So this GIF of Danny DeVito applies now lol?

I lost like 59 months rent who cares. But still even on series anyway from Game wins and props.

[gauchojake]

I lost zero months rent.

[lakerboy]

I lost zero months rent.

Nice bro. That wasn't possible since you own your property. Living on rent is a problem to begin with and you should not be gambling if you rent.

[johnnyvegas13]

The guy who lost two mo rent conceded defeat after gm 1

anywat no good way to hedge w lakers big favs

[gauchojake]

Nice bro. That wasn't possible since you own your property. Living on rent is a problem to begin with and you should not be gambling if you rent.

Plus I think I bet a grand total of 150.00 on this series

Just brutal Manny. Between PA & NJ we are paying over 9k a year in property taxes No kids so don’t care about school districts, trash pick up, etc. Moving to FLA where my taxes will be less than 2k a year. Cannot wait

Imagine if Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo both got hurt in game one like Bam Adebayo & Dragic did. How do you think this series would’ve went ? I feel like that’s the equivalent of what the heat was missing in portions of that series. So yes after game one I was done with this bet, conceded no coming back from losing those players.

[jjgold]

James was too much but Heat were still competitive

No idea how anyone in the East can beat Heat next year

[pologq]

james wills his team to win. butler looked tired last night (because of all of his effort in the bubble, not making fun of him). if miami adds a 2nd superstar they could be one of the top 4 teams next year easily.

[UncleChael]

Never heard of ya, pal.

I never saw this thread, this guy mocked me real good with merit.
