The Spurs are playing great basketball right now. No one can object on that one. But one thing that was missing from last year's finals series between the two was D-Wade. Yes he showed up his beast form I think one game? But now, look at what he's doing on this Indiana series. The "rest" he took during the regular season is paying off. He's hungry. For sure he missed playing basketball during the reg. season and now he's releasing all of it during the playoffs. He's been crazy the past few games. We haven't seem him play like that for quite some time.
The Spurs are the Spurs. They have a great coach and they have legends in their team. But never count out Miami's championship experience. I think that's one thing that no one should underestimate on them. Yes they may have a slow start like what happened on Game 3 but does the game during the 1Q? the 1H? This team has been going to the finals since for 3 straight years. They know how to play on those situations when they need to show up. We might not always see their "fluid" chemistry but when they start to get going, we know how explosive they are. I'm not saying the Spurs doesn't have championship experience but that team isn't the same anymore. I mean the only members left from the championship era of the Spurs were Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Coach Pop. (correct me if I missed someone) The others are still learning. Norris Cole might still be young but the way he plays sometimes really helps Miami. Because he knows he's a champion. He's got that confidence in him. That's a huge example. Unlike Lance Stephenson who gets his confidence from one huge game and acts like he can't beat anybody with his silly taunts and other stuff. And don't start saying the Spurs will dominate Miami just because the Spurs are destroying OKC now. Miami and OKC are very different. OKC is a good team. but they are currently without Ibaka. also, Miami's more mature than OKC, in my opinion. Like what I've said before, their championship experience makes a huge difference. After losing to Dallas last 2011, it was really a huge turning point for that team. Durant might be the MVP but he's leadership skills are not there yet. And he's with Westbrook. If you look at it, LeBron has Wade and Bosh, KD has Westbrook. Wade is waaaaaaay more mature than Westbrook. Maybe KD and Westbrook will dominate this league one day but not now. So just in case we get a rematch of last year's finals, for sure it will be one hell of a series again. Both teams know each other's number. For sure they will always put us on the edge of our seats. |

I posted same two days ago during Game 1. And most of the people who replied told me to bet Indiana but I didn't. Stupid of me. got carried away with me being a Heat fanboy. But I've seen them play and I know LeBron and co. don't allow themselves to go down 2-0. That's why I was planning to bet on Miami today but my bookie is a little scaredy cat when it comes to Miami. always adjusting the line too much. Any thoughts guys? You think the Heat can win by at least 6?
The total remains at 184 tho. and some player props too. |

Derrick Rose was still healthy. That was Chicago's best record in recent years. They were the only ones who can beat Miami in the East during that time. They even blew Miami out on Game 1. We know what happened the next 4 games. |

And as far as I know, Ibaka played in all of those. But now he's gone. Who will guard Timmy Duncan now? Nick Collison? Hmmmm. Just something to think about bro before you brag about that stat. and just like what vasilli said.

Should I take it? I know the almost all the good cappers here in covers chose Indiana +3. I was planning to play Miami -2.5 or 3 but when he released the line, it was Indiana +5. So I hesitated. I think the line will change though if many bite on Indiana. Maybe it will go down to 3 or 4 but if it does not, should I take the +5? Also the total is set at 186.

Anyways if I am you, I would NEVER play underdogs with less points, even if you are 100% sure its a winner and it does win, but I would wait till you have those same feelings on the fav then BET double amount. I think in long run you can make some good money from him. And no do not go betting every fav haha just the ones you like. Thanks for the advice dude. :) He also bloated the total for Por/Sas game. He has it at 210. |

Btw if you don't mind me asking, when you mention local, is this a website or just a person at a barber shop? You mean I should take Mia and Spurs right? Also, he's just one person I think. Always pisses me off when I want to bet on the dogs during the first round but when he releases his lines, too much adjustments always. Yesterday he had Was + 2.5 and I still took Washington. :( A little stupid of me. Well I just don't trust Indiana these days that's why. haha. |

Any tips guys? Was planning to take Mia -8 but I was surprised that he released it at -6. Was planning to take Portland +7/7.5 too but seeing it only at +5 made me hesitate.

I saw this on twitter bro ""We won 56 games with [Roy] as our starting center. I think you have to stick with what you do." - Coach Vogel" so be careful.
