    I actually like the Griz to win, because their season is basically on the line. They can't go down 3-0. If you can buy half a point to get it at SA +6 then that has value in my opinion. Memphis should win, but the Spurs may cover that spread.

    I'm on Indy +8 as well and the under of 182.5. I think Miami wins a close game.

    Can't seem to get over the 1-1 hump, but I'm on the Spurs +5 tonight for those interested. I'm not very comfortable with this pick, but it's difficult to turn down five points with SA getting 3 days of rest and I think Memphis wins a very close one. Let's see.

    I've noticed you only pick favorites against the spread. Nothing against that strategy, but you may want to change things up every once in a while.

    Spurs won and obviously covered tonight, which brings my post-season record to 37-18-1 for a winning percentage of over 67% and it's all documented. Suck on it haters. I might take a break for a while, but I have two large futures bets that I'll post the slips to no matter what happens after the playoffs are over.

    Would Spurs +160 to win the Finals a good bet?

    Miami is -200
    Pacers + 600 (tempting)

    Heat -2


    Yeah, but I didn't think Miami would lose at home and Memphis would lose game 3 at home going down 3-0.

    Do you know any websites that allow you to bet on the outcome of the game without the spread? Bovada used to give those lines, but they don't anymore.

    Wow I'm surprised the line is moving more towards Miami. Guess that makes me happy as a Heat fan lol. America's Cardroom offers the moneyline on this game (Miami -125 Indiana +105), not sure why bovada doesn't.

    I go through a bookie but it was a pick for about an hour. It's moved to -1 again. Opened today at -1.5.

    Thanks man. Hope you win too. My line of thinking is the heat are going to split these two games in Indy. It makes sense to swing for the fences tonight because if they lose the line will be Heat -3 and that's a tough line to play as close as these games have been.

    I feel like I know this team pretty well... when things seem the bleakest, that's when they play well. Just not sure if they truly feel it yet or if it's gonna take one more loss. Since last year, once they've gone down in a series, they haven't lost a game afterwards. Hopefully they will have their **** together tonight rather than waiting to be down.

    You have to figure Ray Allen is going to hit a jumper eventually. Not to mention Bosh was in early foul trouble and Wade was terrible in the 2nd half.

    I think Lebron will prove a point tonight on the defensive end and you'll see a lot of long two's from George.
