Mavs/Heat -Who will be favored and who will win ?

[spreadbeater]

The Finals will be 2/3/2. This should be a great series. Not sure who I think will win it yet. The Heat will have no answer for Dirk, but the Mavs will not have an answer for Wade and Shaq. The real thing that concerns me is that the Heat's biggest weakness is their perimeter defense and I think that the Mavs can expose this. Their outside shooting of Dirk, Terry, Stack, and Van Horn may be the key. Should be a great series.

Dallas -130 is my pick for opener

Should be Dallas -180 but the public will probably be all over the Heat because they have bigger name stars.

Shaq has been playing so good. And pat is such a great coach. It's really a coin toss. If Walker and Wade play their game they could definatly take Dal.

Dallas should win this series...no one to match up with Dirk, but the Mavs have a bunch of different players they can throw at Shaq and D-Wade(Diop and Dampier for Big Daddy; Howard, Daniels, Terry, and Harris for Wade).

As well as the Heat's role players have been playing, the Mavs' have been a little better. Shaq and Wade will get theirs, but I think Miami's secondary players come back down to Earth in the Finals. Mavs in 6.

I love the fact that everyone thinks the Mavs win this series easily!!

That makes me think the HEAT wins this one in a shocker!

 

[Hitman26]

Up to -142 for Dallas.



Dallas also 4.5 for game 1.

I don't think anyone thinks they'll win EASY...well, maybe one or two people. It should be a good series, no doubt.

 

[Piranha]

This should be a great Finals.........both team can score and play defense making the totals play game to game a difficult one to figure out.

Anyone knows when the Finals starts..........

Hitter who are we taking to win the Finals ?

Didnt you just say that you thought the Mavs may win in 5 games? That would sound like it would be relatively easy, no?

 

[SkinsRaj28]

I said they'd win in 6...not easy, IMO, should be a hard-fought series.

But if a team from the East wins, at least it'll be the Heat and not the Pistons, who are easily my least-favorite team.

 

[RobFunk]

And dont forget about Gary Payton

For 3, YES!

Not fooling with the series Manny. If I had to bet I would take Dallas for the series but I got crushed on Det against Miami last series and I don't want any more of that pain.



Who are you leaning to?

 

[RobFunk]

Dal might have got by San Antonio

But Shaq + Wade > Parker + Duncan

Bet on Dal for the series = iffy

1st game ? * your money > than betting than series % best chance has to be on sides / amount of games they will play. Series winner < game by game basis

OMG we really have to wait until thursday. 5 days. = :-(
It's not football, but I think officiating will be > than the superbowl.

 

[oldmanTED]

Heat +134

 

[anpyanks]

i like the heat in six... dont think its gonna be as easy as people think with the mavs

Taking Dallas if it gets to -140 or lower.

 

[PokerKingJim]

Just bet Mavs -139 at Pinny. Dallas is the better team, they have home court, and they match up very well with the Heat. I know they won both meetings this year easily and Im almost positive they won both meetings last year as well

 

[goodcall]

I'm on the Heat at +141
