Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Heat/Nets Under 188 @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 721 Miami Heat (-1) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
We’ve won our Top Play w/ Under in G2 of this series and as expected, the game was a really slow paced affair –according to my numbers, it was the second slowest paced game @ postseason so far. Note that the Heat hit 49.3% of their shots, 42% from behind the line and just 8 TO’s and still, they scored “only” 94 points!
I don’t think that the pace factor for tonight’s contest will be that different, because this will be game #7 between these two teams, and all of them were pure half court contests and obviously, both teams would need to be super efficient on the offensive end in order for the game to have a high scoring outcome.
In such half court style, the Nets simply don’t have the weapons to beat the Heat, especially w/ Kevin Garnett being a complete non-factor in this series. The Nets don’t have a proper rim protector in this series! The Heat scored 52 points in the paint in G1 and apparently, the Nets did a better job in G2 as they held the Heat to “just” 34 points in the paint in G2. However note that MIA went 14-18 FG @ the rim in that game (78% mark!).
In both games, the Nets were able to be competitive in the first half but they fell apart later… this is not a mere coincidence… the Heat have an extra gear while the Nets lacks the proper “athleticism” to beat the Heat.

Larry Ness' 10* Weekend Wipeout Winner-NBA (6-1 NBA 10*s in May)
My 10* Weekend Wipeout Winner is on the Brk Nets at 8:00 ET.
The Nets got blown out in Game 1 at Miami but despite D-Will playing 37 scoreless minutes (had played 663 games since last being held scoreless!), the Nets were highly competitive for almost all of Game 2 on Thursday. However, the Nets would score just one FG and make only three FTs over the game's final 6:53, as the Heat closed the game on a 15-5 run to earn the win and cover, 94-82. LBJ had 22, Bosh 18 and Wade 14-7-7.
Ray Allen has come alive for the Heat in this series, averaging 16.0 PPG in the first two games (on 11 of 18 shooting, including 7 of 12 three-pointers), after shooting 26.3% vs the Bobcats while averaging 3.3 PPG. The Heat are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS this postseason and including wins in Games 6 and 7 of the 2013 Finals, now have tied a franchise record by winning eight consecutive postseason games.
Brooklyn thought it was a threat to the two-time defending champions in th 2013-14 season when it brought in Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce (of Boston fame) last summer, to join All-Star center Brook Lopez up front. After all, the Nets already possessed a Deron Williams-Joe Johnson backcourt. The Nets believed their aging roster had a two-year window but the first could be slammed shut by Monday. Lopez was long ago lost to a broken foot (played in just 20 games) and while the Nets flourished with a smaller lineup after Jan 1, they're now facing a team that has won two straight titles playing small-ball.
Williams, who teammates insist is their most important player, shot 0 for 9 in the worst playoff game of his career on Thursday, while KG, who is 10 days shy of his 38th birthday, missed a couple of point-blank attempts while going 2 for 8. The even worse news regarding Garnett is, it was an IMPROVEMENT from his scoreless Game 1. One knows things are bad for Brooklyn when Miami's Allen has a total of 32 points in the first two games, more than the combined output (25 points) of former Boston teammates Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett!
After losses in Games 1 and 2, the Nets are now 1-10 vs the Heat in all-time playoff matchups but I'm NOT sure that means much. Let's not forget that the Nets beat the Heat in all four regular season meetings. I believed that was a motivating force for Miami in Game 1 (and why I played Miami in that 1st game) but as noted earlier, the Nets (despite some ugly performances by key players), hung with the Heat almost the entire way in Game 2.
Clearly, this is a "must win" contest for the Nets, as just 16 teams in NBA playoff history have overcome an 0-2 'hole' to win a best-of-seven series. The Nets are well aware than NO team has ever come back from an 0-3 'hole.'
The Nets are capable of beating the Heat (didn't the regular season prove that?) and in fact, I believe the Nets play a GREAT game tonight. Miami has won at least one road game in every playoff series since LBJ and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami in 2010. A victory in Brooklyn (any time in this series) would make it 14 straight series, giving the Heat the longest streak in NBA history.
Maybe the Heat get that one win in Barclays Center but that "W" doesn't come tonight! Don't forget that the Nets hadn't defeated the Heat in the regular season for 4 1/2 years before ending a 13-game skid with a victory on Nov 1, which paved the way for Brooklyn's 4-0 sweep of Miami this year. In fact, expect a 10-point Brooklyn win, as the Heat throw in a 'clunker,' setting up possible "series changer" in Game 4.
