    No plays for me tonight. I didn't have time to do research. This game should really be a pick 'em, but the books know that the betting public will pay a premium to take Miami, which is why the spread is Heat -2. If I had a gun to my head, my pick would be Heat -2 and the under of 182.5. Good luck guys.

    Grizz - 2.5

    They will not roll over.

    What is a good betting website? I have been playing on FreeSportsBet.com for fun and have multiplied my 50 cents to around $25, but want to actually try my hand at winning real money. Will rep for suggestions.

    A lot of people use Bovada... I like America's Cardroom... it's smaller, but the deposit/withdrawal process is pretty easy.

    Line movement favoring the Griz, but I think it's over. I'm considering a play on SA ml & against the spread of +2.5.

    If you're not betting on the Grizz then don't bet. SA will probably take game 5 at home, but the Grizz will grab 1 game before it's over.

    Well one of us is going to win tonight, because I'm on the Spurs +3. I've been right every game of the WCF so far and I'm hoping that trend continues tonight.

    I'd probably go under, but I've never had much luck with over/unders. My reasoning is that the Grizzlies will be extremely motivated to get this game, I really don't think the Spurs will sweep, and the Grizzlies usually win through defense.

    Good luck.

    The Spurs sweeping the Grizz would be something. They are clearly the second best team this season.

    Grizz -2.5 and over 181

    A little worried on the over because, as mentioned in another post, Grizz best chance of winning is to slow it down

    But these two have met 7 times counting regular season and playoffs, and the average score is 99-91, that is 9 points over the total. In Memphis the average is 97-95. The lowest total points in any of the 7 games is 182, so while I do think the Grizz try to grind it out, i'm not playing under a total they haven't gone under in 7 tries

    Spurs won and obviously covered tonight...I should have taken them moneyline as well like I initially wanted to, but couldn't pass up the points. 4-0 in picking winners against the spread for the full game in the WCF. Shout out to all the Kwame haters and trolls.

    No plays for me tomorrow, but I think it's a coin flip game.

    Pacers for sure. Stern can't have this series go 5. Expect Bosh and Haslem to have two early fouls

    Nice call on the fouls, except it was Bosh, Wade, and LeBron LOL.

    That is only part of it.

    The nba wants the heat to look bad going into the finals. After the spurs swept the grizz, gamblers will see the spurs +160 (maybe higher) and take them to win the series and cover each spread.

    Lebron will win his second ring this season, there is no question in my mind.
