Miami Heat are a sure thing to win the finals

Wont be long before people are gonna be saying how OKC is done. 2 or 3 games from now. The average sbr guy seems to have attention deficit disorder. lol

You trust Lebron and co. not to fall apart against a team that just destroyed the Spurs? Not only are they more talented and play like a team, they have more heart.

Look for me to make A LARGE WAGER announcement tomorrow

Lebron is the main reason I am confident in the Heat. If he cannot deliver this time then that should pretty much sum it up for his career. In other words it wont be a fluke that he chokes in big games. Not gonna happen though as he will finally conquer the NBA with his first finals win.

Well look at what we have here. Waiting for a better series line bit me in the ass.
Only remedy for that is to pound

HEAT 2nd Half +6

If OKC was gonna win this game the 2nd half line would reflect that.

Looks like you need to change that light bulb

Mikail · 06-12-12, 11:11 PM

OK I locked in the rest of my allotment on Heat series @ +235

GAME ON!

That's a nice prop. I overlooked that one.

Did you take the prop (Thunder winning tonight and loose the series for +350)?

Dark Horse · 06-13-12, 02:18 AM

The Heat have no chance to win this series. OKC has way too many options on offense to throw at them. How many does Miami have? lol. Plus Durant is the smoothest assassin I've ever seen on a basketball court. That guy is just scary. If you like dunk fests Lebron is your man, but he doesn't make anybody better. These two teams are not on the same page.

LBJ is holding up his end of the bargain here. He sure to hell didn't choke tonight in game one and they lost. If the Heat lose, it just means OKC is a better team. Regardless how good one player is, the best team wins. See the Green Bay Packers. And OKC is a much better, much deeper team than Miami with better coaches. So you can say the Heat underachieved and Lebron tried too hard to sell this team but based off of this post-season, you sure to hell can't say he chokes in big games and mean it. Hell game 6 and 7 of the C's series were big games and he came up huge. Game 1 tonight against OKC was a big game and again, he came through. He wasn't the reason they lost. See Wade and the bench for that.

Miami shouldn't be here they struggled with all the teams they faced in the playoffs. The Mavs would have knocked the heat out of the playoffs that's how bad they are.

No doubt it's a close series and in post 1 I even stated how it's gonna be a close hard fought series that Heat would prevail in 6 or 7 games.

Lebron has been a hell of a closer this post season but when refer to him a choking I am mainly referkencing his past woes in big games in which he has either quit or choked. You cannot deny that. If the Heat aren't able to win the finals here people can make excuses all they want but the majority of blame will fall on Lebron. If his team isn't doing what they should be doing then as the leader of team Lebron needs to make sure his teammates are living up to their responsibilities.

Wow you guys made some great picks. Some of you nailed it. Cheers

For Miami to win in 6, they will either have to go undefeated at home or win 2 in a row in OKC, against a Thunder team that is 5-0 ATS in it's last 5 and 9-0 at home in the playoffs. That's not gonna happen!

jjgold · 06-13-12, 11:19 AM

I think they are going to have trouble winning 2 games

I think people think they are better than what they are

Bostongambler · 06-13-12, 11:24 AM

They had trouble beating the old/hurting Celts. Imagine what the young athletic Thunder can do.

Heat will win 1 maybe 2 games. gl

Mikail · 06-14-12, 05:47 PM

Tonight's play..... Heat +6 -123 3x

Also will be making inplay wagers throughout the game. I think the Heat could win tonight however their is still plenty of leeway being that this is only game 2

Mikail · 06-14-12, 08:25 PM

Off to a good start. Feeling good about my +6 If the Heat steal game 2 then that is gonna spell problems for OKC to win the series already.

Pauulzcappin · 06-14-12, 08:26 PM

I regret not putting my series bet in today.

Paul, I have given much thought into it and I considered holding out hoping OKC would get out to a 2-0 start( which they very will could still) but after careful consideration and after getting advice from others I decided that taking Heat series when down 0-1 was the best choice.

Mikail · 06-14-12, 11:04 PM

Pay attention. Mikail will show ya how to get paid. OKC LOL

There are too many damn threads for me to bump after OKC once again proves all of you wrong. Whatever.

after 1 game?

Mikail · 06-15-12, 02:51 AM

OK so now they head to Miami tied 1-1 Realistically the Thunder need to take 2 of the 3 in this stretch and that's not gonna happen. Heat have already shown they can win in Oklahoma City in the finals so what will it take for people to face the facts. Them damn Heat are gonna be the Champs and I hate it. Really I do but I figured I might as well profit from it.

Game 3 I will be all over Miami Heat ML and still debating the spread and total.

Goat Milk · 06-15-12, 04:57 AM

we will get the last laugh

LT Profits · 06-15-12, 07:13 AM

I am surprised that OKC is still favored. I expected Miami to be -120.

Mikail · 06-18-12, 09:51 AM

Well. Does anyone still have faith in the Thunder? It's only 2-1 I'd think all those here at sbr who was drinking the OKC Kool-Aid is still on board. It is bittersweet for me. I am glad to be right about a prediction(as usual) but pissed that LeHeat who are gonna win the finals and LeHeat gonna get a ring.

Mikail · 06-19-12, 07:15 PM

Quiet thread now. I almost hope OKC can win tonight so the doubters will start doubting the Heat again.

Pauulzcappin · 06-19-12, 09:26 PM

if they do its heat HUGE on game 5 and quite large on game 6 as dogs.
