Game Thread: NBA FINALS!!! SA vs MIA

[Jims_Doors]

Players with 2500+ career playoff minutes:

Spurs: Duncan, Parker, Ginobili
Heat: LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Allen, Battier, Chalmers, Haslem, Lewis

Duncan needs about 112mins to surpass Kareem (who's currently in first) all time. Should be able to get that in game 4...depending on if he stays out of foul trouble, of course.

Personally I am passing and if MIA loses I will take MIA in the series which should be over +200. MIA winning tonight will make them favorites and I will pass.

I'm gonna go out a limb here and say that the Spurs respectively probably disagree.


Good luck. I think we're in for a great series!!

Spurs up to -5 for the game and -1.50 for the series.

Is the big jump a result of smart money being bet?
Or just the cumulative of so many people wanting to root against the Heat?

Yes to both. The Heat have consistently done better against the spread in the PO thanks to public hate. Regular season is not bet on as much so public doesn't matter as much. See post above showing 56% ATS in PO.

Honestly something stinks. This line opened almost even and has ballooned considerably.

2 things here, Vegas knows it's shit. Sharps know their shit.

I feel Vegas set a trap making SA just a small favorite (thinking MIA would win and SA would be bet) but then the Sharps came in and ate it up. The wild card is how many "haters" heard TMZPN and every body else take SA in 6 or 5 and were like "yea ME TOO!!!" In that case it could just be Vegas taking some extra money when it's there.

The line moves in $ amounts but 1000 betters betting $50 on SA will move the line probably less than 1 better who puts down $5k on SA.

"ultra" is a stretch and closer to wrong, for the most part they copy pinnacle (not uncommon) but have a large limit for US betters so it could move differently than Pinnacle occasionally.

My props for less than peanuts but funner than shits and giggles:

LBJ U27.5 points @-124
Wade U19.5 points @-123
Bosh U13.5 points @+128
Duncan O18.5 points @-101
Duncan O10.5 rebounds @ +101

Basically I think Duncan will roll MIA lose in game 1.

My props for less than peanuts but funner than shits and giggles:

LBJ U27.5 points @-124 U
Wade U19.5 points @-123 O
Bosh U13.5 points @+128 O barely
Duncan O18.5 points @-101 O
Duncan O10.5 rebounds @ +101 O

Basically I think Duncan will roll MIA lose in game 1.

My predictions.

I wouldn't be surprised if Miami comes out flat in game 1. Seems to be the norm.

Nerves are kicking in

LOL Ray Allen doing side crunches for a warmup...

I wouldn't be surprised if Miami comes out flat in game 1. Seems to be the norm.

For the LBJ under I actually hope they come out with enough life for him to kick it out, the other scenario is SA is going to smother him.

As for Wade and Bosh I just feel against a top D they are not both going to have a good game. Bosh is far more likely to get hot with his key jumpers but 14 is kind of a lot for him.

Lets Go Spurs

 

[purguy12]

Good Luck Miami.

 

[Steelboy84]

Fuck Miami

 

[Shanemansj13]

Gametime!

 

[purguy12]

Nasty cross over. WOW. made him fall.

 

[purguy12]

Im starting to think Miami goes as far as how well Bosh plays. Bosh plays bad they lose. He plays well they win.

 

[Shoveyjoe]

Fuck Miami

Calm down Rapesburger. Piece shit person that you have a pic of.

 

[wildturkey]

The series is lame. Let's all go watch X Games on ESPN. That guy totally shredded the gnar bro

 

[purguy12]

Bosh has no shot with Duncan.

 

[bksballer89]

Shard back to missing his 3

 

[avalon2423]

Lewis needs to hit those or sit him.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Good one so far
