Heat to win the finals +340

**flyingillini** · 05-31-23, 07:38 AM

No idea about the series but I hope they win game 1

**slayer14** · 05-31-23, 08:01 AM

It will be a sporting shock considering Jokic is a beast

**lakerboy** · 05-31-23, 08:32 AM

Boston didn't make it?

Good Luck, johnny. No play for me.

One of the playoff themes (for me): *Did MIA get better after Herro went out?

I think they did. In particular, Martin was able to shine after he got more minutes.

**goduke** · 05-31-23, 11:03 AM

Books just counting the dead money they are going to make on this. They priced the line so high that all series bets will be on Miami.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 05-31-23, 12:35 PM

It just feels like the Nuggets are way overvalued here. The West was utter dogshit this year. They beat a horrible Wolves team, the Suns without CP3 and Durant who couldn't hit the ocean from the boat. Then a Laker team that had no outside shooting. Why are the Nuggets such heavy favorites? Their season record wasn't the best in the league.

Also, the city of Miami seems to be on a really hot sports streak. All Miami teams are winning across the board from college to the pros.

**JIBBBY** · 05-31-23, 01:01 PM

Reaching. Don't see it happening. They will have no answer for Jokic.

Because they are the superior team, top to bottom.

Agreed, I think their best chance is Game 1. If they don't win that game, they might get swept.
Heat haven't won a game against the Nuggets since 2020

**slayer14** · 05-31-23, 02:20 PM

You need 3 men guard Jokic it totally unfair that he is a beast

**Eddy Munny** · 05-31-23, 04:19 PM

Johnny, does Kevin Love have a role in this series?

Oh I see... You're gonna ghost me now, Johnny?

Welp, memo to anyone reading this... if ever you want to rid yourself of Johnny Vegas germs, the quickest solution is to try to engage him in thought provoking discussion about an upcoming sporting event. His bot software simply can't handle the demands of anything beyond "on it."

Thought is Johnny repellent.

The Heat have won 6 straight game 1s...

**IBetYou** · 05-31-23, 06:07 PM

Either team would be a worthy champ. Looks like another 7-game series to me... Nuggets prevailing because that Jokic-Murray p&r is the best the NBA has ever seen, and they both have balls of steel.

**IBetYou** · 05-31-23, 06:10 PM

fwiw I think Love will be back in the fray for this series. He's actually a good low-post defender so he will draw Jokic, which in turn enables Bam to be a rover on defense.

**IBetYou** · 05-31-23, 06:21 PM

The thing I like most about the Nuggets is there's still that sense that Jokic is underappreciated. Embiid won that MVP vote in a landslide -it wasn't just Mark Jackson tactically voting. He's gotten more recognition now, with people like Lillard crawling out from under their rock to say that they got it wrong, but the big guy knows it will take a championship to really change perception.

**RunBookRun** · 05-31-23, 06:38 PM

Nuggets. Easy.

What are you talking about? Everyone has Denver winning the series like it already happened. Most in five. Every media personality has the Heat turning into a pumpkin and the Nuggets hoisting the hardware.

If you think one Johnny Vegas thread offsets all of that then you're not grounded in reality.

**RunBookRun** · 06-01-23, 04:41 PM

Save your money. Nuggets will likely sweep

Johnny, Good Luck on your bet. Hope they give you a good run.

My two cents: Celtics were a paper-tiger. Mazzulla was exposed over course of the series.

For the Heat to win, I think Spoelstra needs to find an exploit on the Denver HC. Otherwise, the gap is too wide. And the Nugget HCA figures to play out here.

**johnnyvegas13** · 06-01-23, 06:59 PM

Chuck the way I see this the heat beat top two teams in the nba already

nobody was scared of nuggets before playoffs began

That's why they play the games. You have a shot.

I'd argue that there were reasons for those series results:
*MILW took MIA for granted.
*BOST lost b/c the Head Coach is a hamburger.

Than it will turn competitive-to make you shit your pants. I think when it turns competitive and ya can get a better line, than hammer the nuggets. Unfortunately you have to worry about the Pat Riley ball washing this league does for him. This league has its favorites and to me it is the only reason this average team is this far.

And i bet none of them are betting this high series line

Let's get this Johnny. Fukk Denver. Kick in the door Miami. Wave the 44.

**GunShard** · 06-01-23, 07:48 PM

After Nuggets win game 1 then bet Heat to win series to increase value. Though I am on the Nuggets to win either 4-0 sweep or 4-1.
