Peetie's NBA Thread

Hearing me say I'm on the opposite side of a game is like music to J. Tequila's ears. He just went and upped his bet to include his neighbor's farm as well.

I kinda figured that in one of their three home games the Mav's shooters were gonna get hot. Both teams shot well but in a shootout, Dallas > Miami.

So Johnny...who you gonna be sharecropping for this year...?

If you ask Lebron for a dollar you will only get 75 cents because he won't give you the fourth quarter.

IMHO, looks bad on the spread there, bro. If it's a Heat-style game, it'll be closer than that.

But let's let Chimneyfish give the final word on the line.

[Chimneyfish]

If I'm the final word then we're in trouble.

I don't have any problem with Miami -5.5. The Heat are 4 points better than the Mavs when playing at home so laying 5.5 is just about a coin flip. I'm going to wait on it though. The spread opened at -6 and has already dropped to -5 a lot of places. Plus, only 30% of the public money has come in on the Miami side so that's a good sign. Another good price right now is the -110 futures wager for the Heat winning the championship, which is obviously going to shoot up after Miami's win tomorrow.

After Chimney calling the last game, which was absofuckinglutely ridiculous, I'm not even gonna try and figure it out, I'm going Mavs on Sunday.

[peetie44]

The Mavs shooters got untracked a bit in game 5 -- partly because D-Wade (and his quickness on defense) was out of the game for awhile. And if their better shooting carries over in Miami, the Mavs have a good chance. IMHO, one of the keys to Dallas winning the last 2 games is that Tyson Chandler has scored 13pts in each game. His being more involved on offense makes it harder for the Heat to double-team Dirk when he goes to the hoop.

**edit**

I just checked; Chandler's scored 13pts in all three of the Mavs' wins, but 9 and 5 points, respectively, in their games 1 and 3 losses.

Just got Miami at -4.5.
