    I'm leaning Heat -7.5 for tomorrow and thinking about going really big on it. Absolute majority of betting public is on Pacers, but spread is holding firm. The Heat are probably going to benefit from some of their own home cooking this game to make up for game 4. I sense a double digit Miami victory. Nothing confirmed or locked in yet. I'll wait until tomorrow, but what does everybody else think?

    You can go to a number of different sites to get that info., but the only problem is that there's no way to verify it. You can go to covers.com and look under their "consensus" numbers or you can go to scoresandodds.com and click on "las vegas odds". I mostly use vegasinsider.com and look at the numbers there, because they seem to update them the quickest. Here's a link with the #s for tomorrow's game:

    A prediction doesn't get much more accurate than this.

    The Kwame haters and trolls dare not show their faces in this thread unless it's to bow their heads in respect:

    Initially lean for game 6 is to pound Miami moneyline and the under. I need the Heat's defensive intensity to pick up a little and then for D-Wade, Ray Ray, and Bosh to make cameo appearances along with the 2006 Haslem to show up again and LBJ to dominate and carry these scrubs to the Finals.

    Yes sir, congrats to you too...Let's keep collaborating and make that money. The season is almost over.

    Edit: No play for me tomorrow since Birdman, Birdman got suspended, lol, jk. I have to go to some stupid festival and I refuse to bet on a game where I can't sit there and sweat every damn free throw. Good luck to everyone though.

    Miami is the play in my opinion. Their track record in elimination games speaks for itself. Just imagine if the scrub brigade that's riding LeBron's jock actually shows up for one game. It'll be a massacre. I expect the Pacers to play well and their backcourt players to play much better at home, but I think the Heat (read LeBron) will outlast them.

    I said I wouldn't make a play here, but I'm seriously considering another huge play on Miami moneyline. This stupid festival is screwing things up though. I even called and asked if they're going to have a TV there showing the game and they said no. My only option would be to follow it on my phone.

    Yeah, going with some girl and some other friends to the Brews & Blues Festival. I would have sold them all out to watch this game if I didn't agree to go over a month ago and bought a damn ticket.

    What do you think about this game? I still haven't decided if I'm going to make a play. If I do, it's either gonna be Heat ats or ml.

    Is sneaking away for a bit to a nearby sports bar a possibility? That would be my plan.

    As for the game, I think Miami gets it done. Don't think the Birdman absense will have a big effect... NBAtv had stats that showed Miami is actually better offensively and defensively when he's been off the court this series. Joel Anthony is an even better defender, but he won't score much. He played very well against the Pacers last year.

    Only thing that I'm a little concerned about is the ref crew (same as game 1), cause the Pacers got a ton of FT's that game. If they let them play like in game 5, I like Miami even more.

    Also, apparently David West has an upper respiratory infection and missed shootaround, but likely to play. I'm assuming he will definitely play, but if he isn't able to go hard without getting winded, that's a big blow to the Pacers.

    A small part of me is dying, but no plays for me tonight. I do have two futures bets that are both still alive so the result of this game will still be important. I'll be following it on my phone.

    Well, you can thank your girl for saving you from the dumpster fire that was game 6 :grin:. Unfortunately, I can't say the same. Enjoy your festival bud, let's get it in game 7!

    At what odds do you consider it good value? I'm guessing it'll be -250 at best...

    Unbelievable...Does the scrub brigade even have a pulse? Hopefully they'll show signs of life in game 7 to help LBJ out a bit, because one of my futures bets is on Miami to win the east.

    Looks like spread for game 7 is ranging from Heat -6.5 to -7.5 and moneyline is -350 to -360.
