very simple. take miami(-4.5) first half. do not touch them for the game (-8.5) until they prove that they can close games out late in the 3rd and 4th quarter. go back and look at every single game this year, and then check the half time score. ive been riding miami first half for a long time now and been cashing at a sick rate. they come out swinging every night because they play intense defense, block shots, and get out in transition and get plenty dunks. but in the 4th quarter, when they need a set play to run, their coach is a bum, and they just hand lebron the ball and let him choke it off every night. please please please, miami could possibly blow out portland tonight, but the odds of them being up like 4-8 points at the end of the 3rd and coasting to a 10 point win are not very good. just take the first half and count your money....
