Boston +5 is a terrible bet

thezbar · 04-30-11, 11:32 PM

I agree with the first poster. Heat wins big or loses outright in game 1.

BobHarvey · 04-30-11, 11:34 PM

Close, low scoring game. Boston +5.5 for me.

Balco10 · 05-01-11, 01:03 AM

Regular season series:
Boston
W 88-80
W 112-107 @
W 85-82
L 100-77 @

Neither team is that great in late game execution this season BTW

JW Cash · 05-01-11, 01:28 AM

is a terrible bet....Everyone knows Miami will win the next 7 NBA Titles......

Art Vandelay · 05-01-11, 01:54 AM

Celts plus the 5 - I'm sure they haven't forgotten that beatdown they got last time in South Beach.

The heat have won very few close games against playoff teams this season is what he is saying. Anytime the game is close the heat choke. Hence, if they game is close at the end of the 4th qtr chances are Boston comes up with the win. If you don't believe in statistics/math then it is understandable you don't understand the OP's point and should take the +5.

JOHON8 · 05-01-11, 02:24 AM

This is like round 1 for the Celtics, New York wasn't even a playoff team. Given how much they fed off home support/Allen 3 to win game 1 vs NY you wonder what they'll need this time.

shermanator · 05-01-11, 05:52 AM

boston dominated miami during reg season.

chico2663 · 05-01-11, 05:59 AM

sounds like they are trying to get you to bet bost

soli · 05-01-11, 06:01 AM

I'm pretty much agreeing with the thread starter on this one

jjgold · 05-01-11, 07:24 AM

Tough game

If James does not come to play they have no shot

panik · 05-01-11, 07:52 AM

I ahve Boston winning it staight up.

rickbo528 · 05-01-11, 08:10 AM

The best chance a road team has to steal a game is the first gm of a series.

nbarlotta3 · 05-01-11, 08:17 AM

Hopefully the Heat embarass them

jstblaze · 05-01-11, 08:21 AM

Its funny you post this. I think the opposite.

That Boston +5 is a great number. IO cant imagine this Heat team beating a rested boston team by more than 5.

ttratter · 05-01-11, 08:23 AM

75% on boston today gl with your plays

RoagBettor · 05-01-11, 08:50 AM

The fix is already in for the Heat!

blinky88 · 05-01-11, 09:59 AM

Boston wins

LT Profits · 05-01-11, 10:03 AM

The OP is exactly right, Miami has a terrible record in games decided by five points or less, they have won ONE game all year on a winning shot in the last 10 seconds and they generally suck in late game execution. Thus, if its a close game, Boston will most likely win and when Miami has won this year, it has almost always been handily.

ouman101 · 05-01-11, 10:24 AM

I'll laugh when LBJ makes his first game winning shot of the year

mjslovin · 05-01-11, 11:03 AM

Agree, Heat come out making a statement today.

unluckysob · 05-01-11, 11:07 AM

I think Miami takes care of business----this aint the knicks.

seaborneq · 05-01-11, 12:07 PM

Until a game is played in this series, how can you not like Boston and the points? The Celtics have proven golden in the playoffs as a winner or close loser.

beyond · 05-01-11, 12:13 PM

i think home team will win in this serie

politicin · 05-01-11, 02:29 PM

C's SU for me... C's in 6

kmarinouofm · 05-01-11, 02:35 PM

i got miami -4 .. lets hope it cashes.. .. line is steady and everyone on boston..

8ArIvd5 · 05-01-11, 02:56 PM

i'm assuming op layed the points and took c's ml to guarantee a profit?

he said Celts win SU or Heat win big

Git Lo · 05-01-11, 03:27 PM

Either bet Celtics ML or Heat ATS simple and I agree good topic.

james4512 · 05-01-11, 04:56 PM

I dont see a celtics backdoor cover here and i think this theory should also apply to game 2

8ArIvd5 · 05-01-11, 05:21 PM

do you see pierce getting throwing out for nothing again?

Pierce was a non factor, Heatles already blew their doors off when Pierce started with the cheap shots

Boston is a trainwreck....monkeys chest pounding with only 1 NBA title in 5 years

if I were Pat Riley I'd petition to have Pierce suspended for that hit on D-Wade

Lol you're such a joke. The hit on Wade? You mean the legal screen, which Wade tried to run through, and then decided to get in Pierce's face? Watch the replay again, Wade steps to Pierce, not the other way around. Pierce shouldn't have been T'd up
