This is my first post. I have been using this amazing website which has been greatly beneficial for me. This past monday night miami opened 9.5 and i jumped all over it. Yes they did win by half of a point thats cuz smith shot a point less 3 miami did cover. I just dont understand y the line is -5 for tonights game. i was expecting -7 or higher. Is this a trap? is there something i missed? Lin is out stoudemire is out davis is hurt fields sucks and the only chance they had was with shumpert and poor guy is most prob on a surgical bed having reconstructive surgery. so again plz help me what im i missing? why is the line -5 ? dont tell me MSG! Lebron loves MSG he can score more then Anthony when it comes to msg. The only way i can see miami not covering -5 is lebron or wade getting injured or anthony scoring 75 pts which is impossible with lebron def!

Also I plan on putting players prop wade over 25 pts.

The Heat are losing 4 or so points for homecourt, this -5 will actually be bet up pretty quick.....get it at -5 now and GET MONEY!!!!!!!

-5.5 is a crucial number in hoops,  kind of like having a -3.5 or -6.5 would be in Football....

- The under is 7-1-1 in the last nine meetings.

- Miami is 1-5 against the spread in its last six road games.

- New York is 20-6 against the spread in its last 26 home games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The Knicks went 14-5 without Stoudemire during the regular season.

2. New York went 22-11 at Madison Square Garden in 2011-12, but suffered a 93-85 loss in their only home date against the Heat on Apr. 15.

man, this thread is exactly why i should grab the Knicks... Vegas just doesnt give away money... Miami SUCKS on the road. Amare being out for the knicks is a BLESSING, not a curse. Look for New York to kill the Heat tonight on the perimeter, they havent shot well yet, and will heat it up tonight from the 3. First game, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, cmon now, you take your chalk, and ill take my home dog, where the opponent sucks on the road... to tell you the truth, i wondered the EXACT opposite of what this whole post is about.. lol... And this is coming from a heat bettor in games 1 and 2.

GL though.

Naturally Miami should publicly execute the Knicks tonight. Key word of course being "should". NBA, as most of us know can be a strange animal. Good luck.
