Heat @ Knicks 1/27/11

[geebert74]

I am leaning on the heat here -3.5. Any other Heat backers?

[LChruscial85]

For sure! Knicks haven't been playing there best ball recently. GL with your plays!

[bostonboy]

yeah Lebron always seems to go off whenever he plays at MSG

[portnoy65]

I like it!! Good Luck!!!!

[StraitShooter]

Like the Heat too . I dont think Bosh being out will be that much of a deterament

[jjgold]

Heat also

[beaunose2002]

sorry fella's Knicks by 5 tonight

[jmilacek]

As long as LeBron doesn't die before tip-off this is Heat.

[no1here]

gonna play it in Thadd's sportsbook thread

[ngates815]

I was gonna say the Knicks at first, thinking that the Heat starting 4/5 players wouldn't be able to stick with Amare and Galinari....but now that they said Lebron will start at the 4 and be guarding Galinari, I don't see those matchups too favorable.


Will most likely sit this game out, unless I get stranded at home by myself. Then I will throw a small action bet down. Probably the Heat.

[geebert74]

Let's make some money tonight!

I'm liking nicks TT under 104

Is wade gonna play? reports of him being sick. if he plays then feel Miami is good in this spot.

[CK]

Wade is likely playing - has had migraine headaches but is on day 4 of symptoms that usually last 4 days. I heard he wore sunglasses in practice yesterday (eyes sensitive to light) and might even wear shaded goggles today, which would be awesome to see.

I think this is a tough game to call - with no Bosh and no Haslem, two guys that really played well for the Heat last time they were at MSG. I could see this being a strong statement game for the Knicks on national TV after finally ending their 6-game losing streak. Might play Knicks ML here or lay off.

I think he's playing...Haven't seen anything that says he may be out. He just has lingering Migraine problems, but he hasn't played a game in over a week, so he should be good to go. Bosh is out though.


Lineups:

Chalmers.......Felton
Wade............Landry
Jones............Wilson Chandler
Lebron...........Galinarri
Big Z.............Amare


The only thing that the Heat have coming off the bench is Mike Miller, who did score a shitload in the last game, but that could of just been a fluke. But with Lebron at the 4, that really limits what the Knicks can play there. They can't be playing Shawne Williams and Amare, because neither of those guys can guard Lebron, so the Heat will dictate who the Knicks play, and when they can play 2 big guys.

[demens]

Shawne Williams will do fine guarding Lebron. As will Chandler who is the Knicks PF not Galinari.

Joel Anthony will be a big factor of the bench for the Heat, more so then Miller imo.

[JAFO]

I like Heat too

[Michael Ferro]

da heat

[FindTheLock]

without having all 3 of their 3 man team the heat have not played well to say the least. Factoring in the migraine issues D wade has I don't feel confident backing the heat at all, especially on the road. In fact this may be a great time to play the knicks ML as posters above me suggested.

[bigdaddyjames]

i am all over the heat and i am going to take the over on it too .......
yesterday i was 4 for 4 wins ....
Denver -2 & over >>> both was a winner
San Antonio -3 & over >>> both of them was winners

[letitburn]

I am leaning on the heat here -3.5. Any other Heat backers?

ride the heat, good luck

[JohnnyD4916]

On the heat good luck

[marcoloco]

i am all about the over

[stefan084]

I'm on the heat also,too, as well

[mike1814]

i don't like the Knicks in meaningful games, but i do hope they beat the Heat!

[smarsh816]

i like the heat with lebron in at the pf hes gonna make this squad play real good

[spargament]

knicks under anyone? Bueller...? Bueller...?

[vinny808]

Everyone talks about how Lebron is going explode tonight. But with Bosh gone, who would have guarded Amare (who averaged 29 points and 10 rebounds vs the Heat), what kind of numbers will he put tonight?

I don't want to be a dick and go against the masses, but I was thinking the Knicks win the game straight up. I hope I'm wrong.

[richyrich8478]

Like heat here as well. Bought it down to -3. Good luck everyone

[Sirus73]

looks like Vegas will make a phone call and this game will get some bad calls, so the Knicks will cover.

[Eating Bookies]

heat

[jjgold]

I ended up taking Heat in 1st half -2

[geebert74]

Hell of a game thus far...

[geebert74]

I ended up taking Heat in 1st half -2

That looks like a coin toss at this point coach.
