Thanks bud, appreciate it. I already have a considerable size bet on Miami and the Spurs parlayed to win each of their series respectably so I'm not on a side tonight.
Some food for thought. I'm a Blazers season ticket holder and the Blazers don't have the coaching, bench or experience to compete. Emphasizing bench. I'd look to the over in that game. Remember there's no Harden on the floor this series for the Blazers to exploit. I'm preaching to the choir here though!
I personally don't think anyone is stopping the Heat reaching the finals after the LBJ MVP "snub" (barring an injury). I think LBJ will be on a mission to make a statement but it's Not like he needed any more motivation right. I can recall many instances where a player won the MVP who wasn't the best player in the League and that player went on to dominate the playoffs and win finals MVP. Some that come to mind are Karl Malone -Jordan; Iverson- Shaq; Robinson-Olajuwon; Barkley/Jordan (not in any order). I think the Heat likely win by double digits tonight. But my bankroll and I have been wrong many times before :).
Best of luck tonight T-Mant. Here's to a middle and a Heat win by 7. Cheers, CBK
