    In order for Miami to win imo they need to be more creative on offense all this isolation theyre trying to run off Wade/Bron is not gonna work against this Chicago Defense, Ball movement is a must in order for them to be succesfull. Hassel i see as an X factor if he can contribute by rebounding it will help ALOT. Chicago killed Miami on the glass in game 1.
    Im rooting for Chicago to win but its gonna be tough.

    I do think that, but I'm not going to spot you points when money is on the line. Looks like you don't want to take the bet.

    why? isn't that one the basics of sports betting? to spot the underdog points?

    I thought you were pretty confindent about Miami winning by at least 10 pts but now you doubt Miami gonna win by 10 with $50 on the line..

    I'm not spotting you 10 points. I'm confident but I'm not an idiot. I'll bet you $100 that the heat win game 2 and $500 that they win the series. Either take the bet, or stop replying. It's that simple.

    I sent Clutch a message and asked him to update my status long time ago and he didn't, not much I can do. I am a man with integrity, not a shameless liar like you.

    And didn't you disappear after finals last 2 seasons? Yep, off season, cough, cough.

    That's what I thought. You are trolling. I simply posted my prediction in this thread, like we all do and then you told me to put up money against my prediction. I offer to put up money and you keep trolling and trying to pick apart my stance when you have no intentions on betting a dime. Welcome to ignore.

    one last question: is your prediction miami gonna win by at least 10 points?

    btw that means you're definitely sure miami is not gonna win by 9 points or less or lose

    Ok, so it is your word that you gave the site $100?

    Yes, and I will disappear during this offseason too.

    Also, people need to realise Miami 2 key reserves have been injured this year, so that always hurts. Its like the Bulls losing Brewer and Gisbon, it's always going to test your depth.

    Heres a article about Haslem and Miller for the next game.

    http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-heat/sfl-miami-heat-udonis-hsalem-s051611,0,2965325.story

    CHICAGO—
    Erik Spoelstra has what he's looking for, just to his right, on the Miami Heat bench.

    He's just not sure that it's good to go.

    Coming off Sunday's 103-82 loss to the Chicago Bulls, the focus at Monday's practice was on the hustle, energy, effort plays the Heat failed to deliver in the opener of the Eastern Conference finals.

    It is the type of hustle that forwards Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller, the former University of Florida roommates, are known for.

    you are aware that the starters noah and boozer missed a combined total of around 50 games and bulls still managed to get 1st seed right? talk about testing your depth...

    Every team deals with injury, it sucks.

    This is the worst place to bring it up, Rocket fans have to deal with franchise players going down every year.

    Overreacting much? Remember choke city? Bulls held serve. That is it. Don't take too much from one game.

    Wade and Bron are healthy.

    Therefore Miami is healthy.

    Don't complain about injuries on the Rockets team forums. This is seriously the worst possible place.

    c'mon man, you can't bring that up here. effort and hustle should come from whoever is on the court and the heat didn't bring it.

    31-8 2nd chance points advantage to the bulls. that was also the final discrepancy in the score.

    i have never seen that big of a discrepancy, esp in a playoff game.

    the lack of hustle and effort from the heat was disgusting in game 1. you can't blame that on injuries.

    I said "testing depth", as people say the Heat have no Depth, but it's because of injuries. I wasn't complaining, as the Heat so far, have managed to overcome the issue due to playing hard every night.

    It's not a excuse at all, as to why the Heat lost, they didn't play hard, and didn't come out like they wanted to win.

    Also, Rockets should of traded Yao, McGrady at first sign of injury concerns, but they kept them, knowing of the risk.

    After getting to Dallas Peja shot four 3 pointers a game at about 42%. In the playoffs he has been shooting 5 a game at around 46%. Your belief that he can't get off a 3 point shot is ridiculous.


    I never said he was an elite defender but he is still a pretty good one and one of the better matchups against Lebron. Nobody is going to stop Lebron but Marion is a player that has a chance of aggravating him.


    Is Westbrook holding Kidd, Peja, Terry, and Dirk? Rotations are more about defensive game plans than speed in most cases. Having those four on the court at once poses perimeter defensive problems for all teams because Dirk has to be double teamed and they can also kill you off of the pick and roll.

    Nobody in the league has anybody that can hold Dirk. James can't do it and neither can Durant. When the Mavs surround him with shooters and an inside presence like Chandler they are a tough team to deal with.

    The Mavs are a perfectly good half court team. They can slow the game time and reduce the number of transition situations the other team gets. The Mavs are far from a perfect team but they have enough weapons and versatility to beat any team left in the playoffs.

    $50 over a month ago, $50 a few days ago. And didn't you put me on ignore list? LOL, I guess a shameless liar wouldn't mind another lie.
