Miami Heat vs Minnesota Twolves 11/2

Miami Heat vs Minnesota Twolves 11/2 I would be very hesitant to fade the Heat right now. I know 16 is a lot of points in the NBA, but they are just beginning to start to jell (gel?), and they still have a lot to prove to the rest of the NBA. They are in the process of sending a message in particular,to the elite teams that they really are a 70 win team, or a team that is capable of winning 70. I don't think they'll win 70, 65 at this point is my prediction. Things change on a daily, weekly, game-by-game, til' the situation changes, til they get bored, etc...but tonight, I wouldn't fade them.

I was surprised that the line wasn't 20. For what it's worth... Minnesota is a off a bad game and they are 0-11 ATS (-9.0 ppg) as a dog with at least one day of rest after a game in which they committed at least twenty turnovers. Prof M.

Jell, because you asked. Miami should be a good team to back for at least a couple weeks for the reasons stated here.

Something to keep an eye out for. Miami is outscoring the opposition by 9 ppg in the second halves. Teams are falling behind early and look to be conceding knowing they don't have the talent to win at that point.

Miami -9 1st Half I'm on it.

I seem to remember season before last, and maybe prof m can help with the exact details...but it seemed like the Celtic would cover huge spread after another. That team, 1 through 12 literally wanted to drag their opponents corpses around a while after they killed em. This both extremely rare and extremely fun to find.

Thanks fellas! Took the 1st half -9. Then read Hardrocks post, know the Timber Pups well and faded them 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & game! 6-0 Nice call guys! Nipsy
