Bulls finish off the Heat today!

[Spearit]

Taking the Heat and the over in the first half and Chicago for the game and possibly for the 2nd half!

Since 2001, teams with a 3-0 lead in a best-of-seven are 11-2 straight up to sweep.

Home favorites in Game Four of the NBA Playoffs who are 0-3 in the series are 0-9 ATS in this role since 1990 - winning only ONE GAME straight-up

MIAMI is 16-3 OVER (+12.7 Units) the 1st half total after having lost 4 or 5 of their last 6 games this season.

MIAMI is 13-4 OVER (+8.6 Units) the 1st half total versus good pressure defensive teams - forcing >=16 turnovers/game this season.

Good info Spear...Can i change my Heat pick?? LOL--kidding buddy but I really was unaware of this though I still wouldn't change my mind. Good luck!

Betcris has this as 93.5 in the first half but only 186.5 for the total. Typically and this holds true especially for college the second half total is higher than the first. I think you may have something here. Although it looks this may be a bit different in the NBA as I see Dallas and GS with a higher total for the first half as well. I don't play to many first half NBA's so this looked odd to me.

I agree - it hit the last time played and it was similar. Usually the teams are in their rhythm coming out of the gate at this time of the season and with their backs against the wall- the Heat will be fired up- just they get bogged down a bit in the second half. I think there may be stamina issues with them! Think about how little the whole team has been together playing a game during the season!

Well Spear I jumped on 93.5 OVER 1st half with you. I would hope that they are professionals and come to play today!! GL!

Sorry about the late post but one more

MIAMI is 10-1 OVER (+8.9 Units) the 1st half total after having lost 5 or 6 of their last 7 games this season.

BOL today Spear....and yea they taught us about the dopeamine....the pleasure chemical in the brain that is stimulated when the addiction is fueled.....most addicts have lower levels of dopeamine and need external things to make them happy or equal to non-addicts that already have a higher level....monks have the highest levels of dopeamine....levels can be raised by laughter, exercise, nutrition, etc....

Spear we had the right side here...didn't hit but how many times does that happen..Lets get'em next time...Free doesn't mean free unless you can't hit the damn throw. Unreal.
Don't know what they ended up with for free throws but it was pitiful.

Glad you got the info on that because that it what addictions come down to- exhausts your supply of dopamine (and in turn can cause enlarged ventricles)- looking for the next mood elevating source- whether drugs, alcohol, sex, internet, betting on this game, etc!

Ouch -92! Miami, of course, missed its free throws (Shaq) but we won on Miami! Free throws- bryce - that has been the achilles heel - lets see if it holds true in the 2nd half.
