NBA Finals - Heat vs Spurs

[HowHigh]

Unfortunately I have absolutely zero faith in game 7. Might just chuck $1000 on the Heat to win and not bother watching.
At least that's how it feels today.

Ah the old emotional hedge bet. In times of despair, it is a pretty good avenue.

Damn, heat are $1.36 favourites h2h
Probably not worth it

Lebrons stats without his headband:

12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 4 turnovers on 5-of-11 shooting.

I'm a long time Cavs fan. Every year about this time I'm torn between wanting to see him lose as justice and wanting to see him win cause he's freaking amazing.

Love LeBron. Love D Wade. Hate the Heat.

Yeah I'm exactly the same.
I feel sorry for Cleveland in general, to be a sports fan in that city.

I was waiting for someone to bring that up lol

It's tough. Last time I saw the Indians win was in 'Major League'.

I still can't believe that game today, just crazy, insane, unbelievable etc. I still can't comprehend how the spurs lost that game, it will give them nightmares and I can't see them getting a win in game 7, today's game will just hurt too much and the Heat have all the momentum now, one of the craziest games of bball you will ever see!!

I'm probably just going to put $100 on the Heat and be done with it.

lol, I had a $50 bet with a mate at the start of the year for Spurs and him Heat.
I'd have to put $150 on Heat to get back the $50 I'll lose

Yeah H2H odds are pretty poor. Might just take Heat -6 at 1.90. That way if the Heat win a close one in Game 7, I can feel even worse :lol:.

It all shapes as a Heat blowout after such a bad loss, but the spurs have more players who can standup...Manu (he cant give away 8 turnovers again), Duncan, Parker, Neal, Leonard, and Danny Green.
Spurs can do this and make history by being the first team to win a finals game 7 on the road.

Besides... for the spurs it has been Win Loss Win Loss Win Loss.....so Win?

All signs point to Miami because they are Miami.. but.. Wade's Knee's are banged up.. Lebron's running on fumes.. Bosh isn't producing good consistent performance. The sweep against the Grizzlies might just pay off for the Spurs tomorrow.. With Heat going back to back in 7 games series..

Parker shot poorly in game 6.. Duncan didn't score in the 4th or in OT.. Green hit 1-7 from 3pt line. Manu 8 turnovers..

Bounce back and runs has been the theme of this finals.. I think Spurs will be in with a real shot for this one..

And I forgot to mention Cleveland in my post. Cleveland, Chicago, New York. All great basketball cities with so many passionate fans.

And Miami has the greatest collection of talent seen in decades. A city where people routinely don't bother showing up until well into the 1st quarter during the season. A city where people leave a finals elimination game only to do this:
There are probably two dozen cities who love their teams more than Miami does. Those fanbases would kill to have what Miami has. Yes there are exceptions to Miami fans but overall it's just so damn unfair.

/rant.

As for game 7: I prefer the Spurs as a franchise so I want them to win but I also think Lebron is criticized so unfairly and out of proportion to whatever minor things he has done wrong so I want him to win too. I don't want his vitriolic haters to get the satisfaction of him coming up short.

Hopefully he leaves for a real fanbase in 2014. The Cavs are an option. And I loathe the Lakers but I'd even prefer him to go to LA than stay where he is. Laker fans as much as they suck at least know to appreciate greatness.

What do you have against Lakers fans?

Fact of the Day:
The 2013 NBA Finals consists of four former NBA Finals MVPs are on either roster (Duncan, Parker, Wade, and James), the most since the 1987 NBA Finals. The Finals also set a record for most international players on either Finals roster (10). Tim Duncan became the fourth player in NBA history to make a Finals appearance in three different decades.

I can't wait for this, taking a extra long lunch break tomorrow to head to the pub and catch the second half!!

So I wake up this morning, it's cold and raining outside but I get to sit here on my couch rugged up while eating breakfast and waiting for the game to start on ESPN. I love working for myself...

 

[simostorm]

haha nice..

15 mins to tip off.. Game 7.. man.. what a series this has been..

Whoever wins this series is certainly going to be deserving.

 

[Ridders]

Put money down on Heat -6.5 at $2.00.

If the Heat win a close one, f**k everything.

 

[simostorm]

After the way the other games have gone.. I don't have a even the slightest clue whatsoever on who will win or by how much.. lol..
