After the Game 5 victory

Something smells awefully fishy here, BEWARE!!

Nothing is ever guaranteed my friend no question about that. You'll never hear me say lock, guarantee, etc... because to your point there are too many variables. But I'm not a huge believer in Stern manipulating things. Do individual refs from time to time? I'm sure. But the reality as I see it right now is people think the heat will win because they just have to. When that's the best argument people have, it's not looking good for that team.

Nothing is ever a lock but Dallas is the superior team and they should win. We'll see how it goes come Sunday night!

I don't even know if it's a momentum thing. The Mavs are just better. A popular reason I'm seeing from Heat backers is Dwayne Wade will be playing possessed and won't let them lose. Seems to me he's been playing possessed all series long and it has gotten them a 3-2 deficit.

  I don't even have any words for how funny this post is. Thank you.

Actually like a child you were too lazy to go and see that I'm actually winning in the finals at 12-9 for a +8 unit haul. The mere fact that you didn't bother to do that homework before questioning my ability to pick winning wagers in this series is what I find hilarious. And I still find it funny now. 

And yes I will continue to comment because the Heat could win game 6. It's a game and anything is possible. I'm betting that they won't because I don't think they're up to the task. But I'll comment afterwards either way because they haven't been able to win two in a row in this series so I'll still feel the Mavs chances are strong.

I just like having a little action on the game and watch from a neutral stance.  I also own a business and know you need to expose your product to the public as much as you can. Refs are marketing agents and have stats of there own.  

No doubt about the refs comment. And the series could go 7 games. I don't happen to think it will. As a gambler it's another opportunity to make money if it does. As a fan I'd feel great about the Mavs chances since they've been the best road team in the playoffs. But I'm not a big believer in the nba orchestrating Game 7s. If that were the case we'd see it at least close to every year and we don't.

let me tell you about a gold mine.   Heat 1st qrtr and dallas every other qrtr.

The best capper to ever be on this board showed me that trick.

Nice. I'll take a look at how that's worked so far. I'm a big believer in past behavior predicting future behavior. In fact I teach an interviewing class based on that idea so I really believe it. If there's some substance to this qtr approach I'd be willing to give it a whirl. Thanks for the input.

I do see Barea keeping it up. Anyone that has watched the team all year knows that he's a spark plug. He has off nights like everyone else, but I had to laugh when everyone was saying before the series that he wouldn't run wild on the Heat. He's run wild the whole series he just wasn't hitting the open looks early on. Not the jump shots, not the finsihes around the rim. He probably believed the hype of the Miami D and rushed a bit. But he's clearly gotten it together and realized he can to the rim when he wants and he can get open looks almost at will. He's just got to finish. I think he has a strong game tomorrow night.

Lebron reminds me a lot of Alex Rodriguez before he finally won a few years back with the Yanks. His failures just keep getting blown up and the pressure just wears them out. He'll break through at some point. I just don't think it's going to be this year.

I'm not a big believer in the fix being in. But if it were I think Stern's got a new golden boy in Dirk and he would have the series go accordingly.

Too lazy?? Sorry Mavsfan, but i could care less that you're 12-9, +8 units, which I wouldn't brag about. Your record doesn't impress me, I was curious about your opinion but being a homer I guess you answered that. Now going back to Miami, where they won game 1 by 8 and were kicking your ass for 3 and 1/2 qtrs., only to have a brain freeze and forget what was working to kick your teams ass up to that point, they have no one else to blame but themselves. I expect them to smash the Mavs tomorrow and the 6 pt spread is really nothing as the Heat will roll up with a double digit win. There I said it, now you have something to come back at me with. 

74% on Dallas and 57% on the Over??

It's like leading the sheep to the slaughter.

NBA - It's FANTASTIC!!!!!

Hahahahahaha. Now I know you didn't do any research.  Seriously you should really look in to the history of folks on here before you start spouting off nonsense. What a clown.
