Buying Heat +11 1/2. Seeing a lot of 11. Spurs +5, 4 1/2. Pinny has a nice number +4 +.09. Also I hope to see some 4 on the Pistons. I feel the Heat played pretty well considering the bad circumstances. They closed a big gap, mde it a game when they could have rolled over. Should have been a 8,9 point game. If I get the same results, Tinsley sharpshooting a one game wonder, should be OK. Other two dogs, both playing very well, shutdown defenses, and great road teams. Motown 6-1 ATS, Spurs 5-1 ATS. Neither has been a dog as of yet. Except for the Net line, other dogs flat or ticking down. Not betting dogs because they are due, or long overdue. Hell, my last 4 plays have been chalk, all winners. Just like good defensive dogs. Need a bunch of 1 or 2 point games like it used to be. Best Wishes...OF
Pass on Kings. Not because of matchups, but bounce/spot is negative. Seen Kings have no problem getting blasted. Lose by 20 or more. When the outside shots are not there, it can get ugly fast. I feel they already accomplished goal. Took one in Minny. This is close to a throwaway. Minny on the other hand, have to get this game, bounce from sub par effort, especially Garnett. Just does not have two straight poor games. Officiating crew should be a bit more hometown friendly. I would not lay with Minny, no way, but the spot is just Scary! I'm hoping for double dog Sunday.

Heat played Pacers to a basket twice and one once in final three qaurters, after 23-15 1st Qtr in Gm-1, and are able to score versus Indy easier than I anticipated in this matchup, my only fear is that Pacers were out of sync, or that Carlsisle will smarten up and attack on outlets, as he crawled the ball up all night, even with numerous break opps..may wait until post before decision.
I too like the heat.. . the box was pretty even in GM 1 except for 3's (heat 3-13 23% & pacers 9-18 50%) the heat were outscored by 8 in the 1st and never recovered, but played them fairly even the rest of the way. the pacers also got rewarded with 14 more free throw attempts.
the big thing is the heat were able to out rebound the pacers and rack up 17 team assists.
so today, just looking for the heat to get more trips to the line and defend/shoot the 3 better.

Actually Miami is good, pretty good. Starting five very good. Young, fast athletic. Might stick around today, stay a little closer. Heat also close hard, and comeback from large defecits. Just another backdoor. David said no more double digit games because viewers that still watch NBA, change the channel. Mr. Stern, I have trouble watching an entire NBA game. I watch for excitement, close games, last shot wins, OT. Help me out here David. Old Buddy. May the Heat get enough calls to keep this game close. Single digit win? I have the utmost confidence in you sir. Thank You for your time. OF
Seeing 11 -10 at Pinny. When Indy covered line got hit. Lot more dog action here. Seems like 3 premium points on Indy. 1 point 5-0 ATS, 1 point faves covering, 1 point Sat home fave. I just think the line is inflated. Right or wrong today, the result is going to be my way, enough. You could make a case for a 7 here. Matchups just do not look that bad, 11 1/2 points, WOW! Best Wishes...OF
