    Wow, you were really on the mark there my friend. I am sure there were things in game #2 (the idea that everybody knew that the Heat won after a loss.....so, the "cat" was out of the bag?) and #4 (gotta take a great home team that is a dog?) that kept you from following the idea that both of these teams respond to a loss.

    Hey, I followed....AND, I liked the plays.

    But, you must wonder about not playing the team that took the last beating.

    (Still helps to have the Heat for the series)

    Let me guess: Spurs, Heat, Heat!

    So neither can't seem to lose after a loss, so SA will win this in 7.

    Spurs open as a dog again,I've been lucky in this series as I bet Spurs in game one and just switch every game,I'm starting to wonder if it is really going to keep this pace going,makes it to easy for us to bet.

    Yes, LeBron, DWade, and Bosh combined for 85 of the Heat's 109 points, and in the process, collectively stuffed $50,000 worth of Spurs tickets "in my face."  I dared such a performance out of them, and they delivered it and then some.  The person.  I've never seen a team go this deep into the playoffs while repeatedly alternating between showing up in a big way and not showing up at all.  How is it possible that a team can be two wins away from the NBA title when they stink it up every other game??

    Yes, LeBron, DWade, and Bosh combined for 85 of the Heat's 109 points, and in the process, collectively stuffed $50,000 worth of Spurs tickets "in my face."  I dared such a performance out of them, and they delivered it and then some.  The bas.tards.  I've never seen a team go this deep into the playoffs while repeatedly alternating between showing up in a big way and not showing up at all.  How is it possible that a team can be two wins away from the NBA title when they stink it up every other game??

    So, we can't even say the word "bas.tard" on this site anymore?  Really??  Well, aren't we a church going lot.  This laughable censorship is all forced upon us to please an array of weird new advertisers.  Why do we have so many ads for women's clothing on this site?  Wait, an even better question - why do we have any ads for women's clothing on this site??

    At halftime of Game 4, I left the casino where I'd been watching the game.  I didn't want to watch anymore.  Deep down I knew what was coming.  I knew that the Heat's dominance during the 11-0 ATS streak was even more pronounced in the 2nd halves of the 11 wins.  I left that casino and never looked at one second of the 2nd half.  I wasn't even in much pain as I periodically checked the score on my phone.  I knew I'd fuc.ked up and I accepted it with an unusual calm.  I guess it didn't sting badly because I knew my Heat series bet was now a big favorite to cash.

    Did someone murder kevmode?  How is he not in this thread chortling about Game 4?  I actually feel a need to get ripped after posting a foolish losing play.  Where is he???  Why's everyone being so nice?  I keep fading the Heat following a loss, thinking "this" is the time it doesn't work.  But it keeps working!  Someone bash me already, c'mon.

    Sh it happens and you can't win em all.  I was on the Heat game 4 but did not feel real strongly about it and it was only a 1 unit play for me.  I am also on the Heat for the series but the real question is do we comeback with the Spurs in game 5 or do we sit back and relax with our Heat series bet ticket?

    On a completely different subject, do we keep fading the Sox as favorites on the road?  Ive been against them the last 4 games even though they were small dogs the last 2 and thinking about riding the everyday Freddie train to the ticket window again.

    It will take a lot of nerve to make a substantial bet on Spurs game

    #5.  They look like they were exposed in game 4.

    w/ all the scums that come on here and talk sh*t it takes some maturity to come back in your own thread and admit your faults - allowing yourself to be open to criticism & trash talk.

    I've got a substantial amount on Miami for the series. I've never been more confident. Sit back relax & watch Stern hand Miami the game in either the 6th or 7th game. I smell one more showing by Joe Crawford.

    I almost never care about which team wins. It is all about winning the bet ( only exception for me is the Yankees). Nevertheless, I cannot bet the Heat. To me, they are repulsive. I'm still hoping coaching and character prevail, although if that doesn't happen, good for you on your series bet.

    Bator I tailed you in game 4 and am not upset at all.  Spurs started out owning that game.  They led big early and were tied at half so that game could of gone either way.  It turns out the Heat have too many athletes and speed for the old and injured Spurs.  But somthing smells fishy for game 5 maybe bet the trend teams coming off the loss are the play and maybe the Heat are happy they got a win in San antonio.  So does that make the Spurs the play for game 5 maybe maybe not.  Anyway enjoy following plays and insight tks!
