If Miami loses tonight I guarantee Boston in Finals.

[GamblerSpirit]

This.

I don't see Heat winning it all for this reason, either lose to Boston or lose in Finals

OMG they said the same about the SB winners NY Giants last season, and what happened to all that money that Vegas could have lost on NYG futures?

[Snowball]

Snowball whoever wins game 5 is winning the series

nope. this was it. Miami is not good enough to win this series without help
from the refs. They don't get it tonight then Celtics take the best of 3
regardless of Gm 5.

Haha nice try but not even close. Pretty sure NYG weren't top favorites to win it all in the preseason

[Snowball]

Everyone continues to hammer Miami.
Celtics beat them 2x in a row, almost 3
and still get no respect.
It's the ESPN star worship mentality.
Vegas is helping by creating the illusion of security
on a high line.. they will rake in $$$,$$$,$$$

[Petey Wheatstraw]

Heat rout prison bloodsuckers in Game 5, series over. My opinion.

[Pauulzcappin]

Funny that last night was the worse ref showing from the playoffs.

funny. last night i thought the reffing was fine.

Of course. You are from Boston. No offense bro. It was sketchy to both side and a lot of makeup calls.

yep. revisit the first post in this thread about how it could happen.
the makeup calls, no mandate on the Heat.
says something.
I'm expecting Marc Davis to be on the officiating crew tomorrow.
If he is not, do not bet Miami. just my 2c.

[Snowball]

After Marc Davis was installed as a sub in Gm 4 I thought Stern would
put him in Gm 5. Nope. This is a good sign for fair officiating tonight.
The theory is on track.

Ron Garretson Home Team W/L42-19
Monty McCutchen Home Team W/L45-19
Derrick Stafford Home Team W/L42-19

this looks ugly

[Snowball]

FU Miami. Celtics are the TRUE BEASTS !!!

South Beach pussies

[Pauulzcappin]

good call snowball.

[moshi]

Could be on to something. When they played in Boston, the stadium was sold out. Not so in Miami.

[Snowball]

good call snowball.

just gotta win 1 of the next 2
yuyup

I don't trust the Spurs any more. They are allowing OKC too many baskets
look at Boston get stops tonight
that's a real defense.

Different being OKC has more talented jumpshooters.

[ThaTopMoron]

MIA only beat Boston last year because of Rondo having 1 arm

kinda sad tho, i want LeChoke to lose back 2 back Finals... oh well, guess that is too much to ask for

Boston vs OKC, if it holds up... its the young guns vs the aging vets who won't go away

[therushishere]

On one hand, the last time the Spurs swept the first two rounds in 2008 they lost 4 in a row immediately after.

On the other hand; in all fairness this is the first time the Spurs will have felt any sense of urgency at all this year and it will be intriguing to see how they respond with their backs against the wall. It was interesting that they still hadn't lost their cool in the post-game interviews. We also haven't seen OKC perform in a big closeout game before.

Either Pop gets lazy/complacent and keeps neglecting film like they did between games 3 and 4 and get blown out tomorrow or they respond in a big way. I liked the odds.

Definitely like Boston though.

[Snowball]

. We also haven't seen OKC perform in a big closeout game before.

yes and this is why i'm not commiting to OKC tomorrow YET
but I think it's just a formality and am leaning OKC because
the Spurs cannot stop them from scoring 100+
which really means the Spurs do not belong in the finals

[Kindred]

Boston wins tonight series is over

I am that confident

[jjgold]

snowhead I think your right here

Boston is a better team, they have now outplayed them 5 straight games

[PAYTON20]

Snowball this would be a razor sharp call

Gettin the party goin with my Celtics breezies tonight. They are the good luck charm! Hotties

[shhplit]

hello

[Goat Milk]

Everything pointing to a rig for the celtics. I guess Stern had a change of plans. The refs all gathered at stern's house to figure out a way they can all bank from that series.

[rm18]

i need my refund pal call me on the 262 line to discuss payment

[cdaniels24]

Yeah, Shaq was an unknown before 2006. Remember Riley was coaching them that year too. They lost in 7 to the Pistons in 2005 in the ECF.

That was Van Gundy's year
