Miami +170 (Series) vs Boston

Miami +170 (Series) vs Boston Like Miami's chances given the horrible play Boston has exhibited down the stretch, plus their problems at home this year. Celts .500 since Christmas, Heat 18-4 since March 1st. Miami 9-1 last 10, Boston 3-7. Miami 9-3 last 12 at home, Boston ended 1-5 at home. Slight bit of data mining here on the home games, but the picture on these teams is painted and it's real. Boston is primed for an early exit. Miami is as live a dog as you can hope to find.

Going to be a popular pick. I am on Boston. Who did Miami beat in that 9-1? Nobody. Celtics have been GOD AWFUL down the stretch but here is a thought and vote that the old team has one final big series. Celts have the better players and home court. I am on Boston! Good luck and Peace!

They probably do win the series which is why you're laying the big bucks and taking it in the first place, but IMO Miami wins this series 40-45 times out of 100, and at +170, that's a winning bet. Peace :)

Climate, I also like/liked Miami at first glance but that 0-3 record vs Boston in the regular season just keeps glaring me in the face. I don't like that aspect.

This short thread has the kind of discussion we aim for here. A pick with reasoning, a comeback, a little spice in the response to the comeback, and no one going on tilt. Way to go, boys.
