playoffs 11-10 (+0.80 units)
Miami Heat -3 (-106)
Are these pussies gonna let Chicago sweep em on their home floor? Maybe, but I have to say no. They shot well under 50% from the free throw line last time out, and IMO that was the entire difference in the game. If they had even shot 70%, they would have had the Bulls buried by mid 3rd qtr.
Miami was 27-14 (good) @ home this year, while Chicago was 18-23 on the road (average)
It seems most everyone has given up on the Heat, and probably for good reason, but if Miami hasn't packed it in, I like their chances of at least forcing a game 5.
Don't forget, they dropped to 0-2 vs Dallas last year in the finals, and then took 4 straight to win the championship. Everyone had them written off back then too, and Miami's team isn't a whole lot different from then. Wade, Mourning, Shaq, etc are not quitters IMO.
If this were a regular season game, it would be an absolute steal at Miami -3, so I'm going with it. If someone could guard Luol Deng today, that would be nice as well....
LA Fakers +6 (-105)
Everyone jumping all over PHX. No way they could lose again to LAL, right? Well, like I said before game 3, the Fakers are a completely different team at Staples Center than on the road, and they showed it in game 3. This line is just completely rediculous, as a true line would be about a pick em. +6 creates super value IMO.
2 units each
Will probably be on GSW tonight too. They have owned Dallas, are in their heads, and are still @ home, where they have been great all year. They should be favored IMO. Just hoping the public drives it up a bit from the +3.5 it sits at now.
