Think there is a super strong correlation between the dislike of lebron/heat and who people are betting on... In recent memory, i cannot think of another time that emotions in how they perceives a player (not skill set wise, but personally like or dislike) has had such a direct effect on the betting number

I'm sure that sentence could be better written, but hopefully I got my point across.

Seriously though, when's the last time we've seen a major sports championship final where the only state that is rooting for one team is that team's home state?

I admit that I used to not like Lebron at all & thought he was an arrogant jerk.

But I don't think that's the case anymore and the guy deserves a break.

It's not his fault many compare him to Michael, or claim he will go down as the greates player in NBA history.
So the rest of us who disagree take it out on him.

At the same time I disliked Lebron, I actually did like Wade.

But then I saw the real Dwyane Wade with the mocking of Dirk Nowitzki, and other antics since then and my feelings have reversed for both of them...

Only team in recent history that was this polarizing is probably the Lakers when they played the Celtics.

my buddy told me other day after game 1. the team was in practice and a group of guys were just shooting half court shots and wade was action a fool. yelling n--ger this and n--ger that. than lebron can in and got the balls and told the team we are doing free throws drills. i was shocked to hear a "veteran" like wade acting like this after a loss.

I can't stand the spurs, and really like the Heat. Worst thing James ever did was the decision. Didn't he give millions to Boys Club or something after that?

because of that*

the revenue generated by the decision all went to charity.

Same here which might be a bad omen for the Spurs

Side note strip clubs are good trends for Blackhawks and OT as game 1and 4 indicates
