Force, you make some great points about penetrating guards/forwards hurting the Spurs. Ellis and Westbrook did a lot of damage and now they have to contend with wade and lbj, who are smarter than those two guys. Westbrook, on fumes, nearly beat the Spurs by himself in game 6 by constantly attacking the basket. This will be heats best chance to steal one, but i gotta see the refs first
I would say Westbrook's ref aided 18!!! FT attempts helped a bit in light of his horrid 8-23 shooting performance.
Yes, that is due to attacking the basket but he always attacks and 18 FT's just shows where the refs were in this game. 18 FT's is outrageous. If the OKC bench attack AT ALL, they would have gotten to the line and the FT disparity would have been quite large but they produced nothing at the line nor on the scoreboard hence the team's downfall.

Oh, Scal, dont remind me. That was gonna be my last, glorious cap of the season, and i agree with you 100 percent. If that idiot Brooks had not benched Butler, i still have no answer as to why...i mean i know why, the guy is utterly worthless and should not have been playing in the first place, but why stop now?, i think he would have scored 4 or 5 points, just enough to put this maddening team over the top.

BTW, im assuming you dont think lbj and wade will get calls, or enough calls, in SA. But I think they might, in either game 1 or 2.
They will get calls too (as we both know, where applicable to extend the series, but not like the Heat need calls) but just like OKC, this is the one team that can beat the refs.
And as far as Butler goes, it is incredible that he is two years away from being out of the league (or relegated to a worthless bench roll) and he had a god-awful series with significant minutes which ultimately resulted in his DNP so I can't lay that one at Brooks feet.
But yes, he would have put the ball in the hoop more than what was out there in hindsight.

I took ML Miami +178 on betfair... I'm an Aussie who played a high level of Rugby League over here... In sport you never discount a champion team... There is huge value in this price for the existing world champions...

Like miami in game one too ....... when is the last spurs not cover at home in game 5 dallas series ..... spurs come back to earth ...... public is over spurs today ..... might even take heat next game too ! If spurs lose a close one guess what happens next game public will pound spurs again. For sure game 1.

Huh? You clearly already picked Heat. Force, as stated in your previous Pacers+7 full game and Pacers+6.5 2nd half thread which were total blowout losses for you, you have a terrible read on nba playoffs especially when the Heat are involved. The Spurs will be NOT be taking the heat lightly exactly because of how the Spurs were robbed by the Heat last playoffs. The Spurs are built this year to not only win, but crush the heat. Spurs win first 3 out of 4 easily. Wade will be shut down, Lebron will choke, and the rest will fall to the side while the much more hungrier Pop/Spurs team cruise to victory. Looks like your Heat+4/Moneyline will be another pair of losers to pile on top of your most recent Pacers full game Pacers 2nd half losers. As always, good luck to you, but just cannot stand when someone purposely implies he knows more than everyone else with phrases "trust me" or "go to the bank on that". Just my .02.

Scott Foster our fabulous and friendly match fixer will be working tonight -- the question is which side will he play? His trends point to the Heat large while the line movement points to the spurs with him. I think the 5 points are way way way too many and I will not be surprised when LeBron, Bosh or Wade hits a game clinching and series altering shot tonight.

I agree.....But even if this game is called straight down the middle tonight.....There will be too many other factors coming into play, including the Spurs possibly playing too hard, with revenge on their minds, not playing within themselves, making suttle mistakes which may just keep the Miami Heat in this game tonight.....And "No One" can tell me that it hasn't happened before!!! A team gets too pumped up for a game.....

Ask yourself one question: Would the SPurs have ever lost to the Pacers or even had close final score with Pacers team? The answer is a resounding NO. Spurs all day! GLTY!

Good Luck.....
Does anyone know? Does "Force" win? He absolutely loved Miami at 3, but not so much at 5. With reason being it's only the first game. Question being did he think it was game 3 this morning? Suspect. But good luck. Need Miami bad.
