Agreed. This Spurs team isn't like the Mavs of 2011 nor is this Heat like that Heat team.

When Miami wins they almost always win big though.
you're going to kill me
at one point one of these trends will be bucked
but of course miami could blow them out tomorrow then lose game 7 then still have their "13-0 against the spread after a loss, blah blah" shit still going...

will they go through with Green FMVP? That would be the icing on the cake.

Add in the Heat win by double digits every time they lose. That plays into it.
Vegas is about making money, not guessing who will win. That may seem to be at odds with one another, but it's not.

60 was extreme but I can see a 40point 17rebound 8assist game.

Nope. If LeBron gets 40 points, it'll be because he took 25-30 shots. If he takes that many shots, the Heat will lose.

I thought this article was disrespectful of what Parker brings to the table. And a huge part of its premise is the "SA is boring" cliche from 10 years ago.

Doing the math, probably. It really depends if more Heat players show up for 2 consecutive games. Recent history doesn't suggest that they will. If the Heat lose, it will cap a frustrating post season, but the Spurs will have earned their victory.
I'm hoping for some more of his freaky voodoo. Hopefully he'll pull the whole team into it again.

I can see LeBron drop 30+ and Wade drop 20+ but Bosh and everyone else struggle, don't think Ray will go for 20+
If Mike Miller starts then Spo is an idiot, pop will Insta start Manu again if given the chance
Free dat bird
I've got a feeling there will be some spurs fans in the stands tomorrow. Hmmmmm

Getting residency app stuff together. Did well on Step 2CK and trying to finish a project I started during my leave between 2nd and 3rd year. Gonna do Psychiatry, lots of fun.
Vegas's line right now is pretty insane IMO, if I were a betting man I'd lay down some money on the Spurs.
Pretty sure the Spurs have the advantage in point differential so far. Let's drop that like 4 points because Miami's at home... I still don't see how that makes them 7-point favorites.

Because Miami has won by double digits after every loss since like January including their two wins here.
Vegas is trying to get the pricing right for betters. Betters are obviously going to bet on Miami on a line that is close
The only thing that matters is what betters think. Vegas is charging them a lot to buy Miami because a lot see them as big faves.

What he say?
"Remember Ewing? You wanna be ringless?"
What he gonna say now?
"Remember Ewing? You wanna be a Knick?"
Lebron was crying about minutes and coaching from day 1 in Miami.
Picking Dirk is madness but make no mistake, Lebron wants the everything to revolve around him and his boys.
Spo kno dat.
No, but they should.
Lebron would put up Wilt numbers in the NBL.
Lol, you will need to total every NBL players salary to pay him.
That reminds me years ago when there was a threat of a strike, Longley was concidering coming back home to play for the Perth Wildcats. There was a rumour Pippen was going to come down with him lol.

Wanted to chime in on the lebron/dirk debate
Dirk stuck with Dallas his entire career and really should have left after the 2009-2010 season since it was another disappointing 1st round loss as a 2nd seed. He came back though, something most players will never do. Dallas was expected to lose practically every round in that 2011 post season yet they continue to move on to the next round with Dirk as the only all star. MAVS were HEAVIlY picked against in the finals. Wade and lebron tried to get under dirks skin by making fun of his sickness or whatever. That run is probably more impressive than anything the BIg 3 will ever do just because they really absolutely came out of nowhere. Especially dirk and his greatness.
If lebron did that in Cleveland then those MJ comparisons would actually be somewhat justified. Lebron came to Miami to join an already proven winner Wade. Whatever the BiG 3 do will probably never match Wade's 06 run either. That playoff run really is probably the closest Jordan- like runs for a player we will ever see. Wade absolutely dominated.
Lebron is no doubt the best player right now but he will likely never match what Dirk or even Wade did. Especially if he ends up losing this finals as well.

Dude has grown up and matured. Simply wants to win. I can't think of a highschooler to the NBA that did more with what he had than LeBron. It took alot for him to grow up but he has. Let the other shit go and appreciate the fact that you're witnessing greatness.
nice try

Dirk went 50/50/90 in 2011 Playoffs.
OKC Game 1, OKC Game 4, MIA Game 2, MIA Game 3 were all time great playoff performances.

Pretty much any Spurs player that is given minutes has the capacity to go off if you give them opportunities. Now that Manu has been resurrected, I don't see the Heat being able to lock down the revitalized Big 3 of the Spurs plus all their solid role players.
