No Bam? Bet on Miami ML, that's what I read in some of the NBA forum in other sites.
It doesn't matter if Bam will play or not, that's what they believe because the last time Bam was out, Heat got a good win, I think that was by 11 points.

No one in their right mind bets against lebron in a closeout game.  On top of that in the mamba uniform.  Lebron is a lock for a triple double and 3-4 blocks on top of that.  When lebron is motivated, nobody can stop him.

I am not in my right mind then.  Grin
Lebron is motivated, no doubt about that. But so does the Heat.
I am going against the flow. I am that kind to bet for the underdog and I am going full with Heat ML.
Let's say I am one of the fools hoping for the Heat to give a better game against the Lakers team.

Bam (neck sprain)
But he is "good to go" as said by Coach Erik Spoelstra.

That's a great progress then,  this means betting on the Heat is still good despite the odds and the situation they are in, if they'll win one game, the series would be very interesting, anyway, good luck to you @Reid and those who are backing the heat here to win straight up.

Only the refs, just kidding..

Yeah you are right, it's a close out game for the Lakers, and they have been playing in the same court throughout so there's no other factor that could intimidate the Lakers here, they will certainly make sure to win and probably will not give the heat a chance for a close scoring game.


I feel bad for Goran not being able to play this next game.

We all know LA wanted to finish the series and he's been there in the sideline for most of the games now. He's been the lead scorer of the team and without him Butler's been doing double to make the team work. Most of them can still shoot threes but still, Dragic being there is something different, Lebron might close this game so he could start the biggest ass-whooping of the year, as other people said it.

No disrespect to Bam or Miami Heat fans, but the win was more likely Lakers having a off night. And LA will likely wanted to end the series and clinch the trophy his season. The more the games are extended, the more dangerous Miami becomes. So regardless if Bam will play or not, Lebron will take everything in control and make sure they finish the job in memory of Kobe.

Lakers have already made an adjustment, we saw it in the last game. Davis does not make 30, they still win the game.
Don't listen too much to other forums, that is just an speculation, listen to your own analysis of this game, that will help you more convince and you'll not regret as you are the one choosing your bet and not following on what people say.

Yes, that was 11 points, the final score that time was 115-104 and Butler had triple double.

points -40 / ast - 13 /rebounds 11... I don't expect to see this output anymore to be honest, no disrespect to him but Bron made a good job against him last game.

In terms of matchup Lakers are more superior but players sometimes have a bad night pointing the game to another directions, if Miami got the chance to extend the series it will bring more money to the league.


I think the Lakers are determined to finish the series now as they are wearing the mamba jersey in game 5. They are undefeated while wearing those jersey, and I guess the league are into Kobe that they do anything to commemorate his legacy through the game.

I can say a Laker -5.5 bet would be the safest area for betting a Laker win in game 5. I'm doubtful about the -7.5 from the bookies since the Heat are showing good defense from the past 2 games.
I was laughing hard when that kid Herro forced a three pointer with a dying seconds to beat the bettors of -7.5 in game 4 lol.

This is it for the Lakers. Even Miami Heat will win the next game, it's hard to believe that they will able to bounce back on the series.

Now up to us on how we will take advantage of betting options that are currently available. You can't bet for Lakers to lose 3 times in a row. There is always a chance for that but let's take the situation into reality.

Since Lakers ML won't give anyone a profit, it's a wild decision if LAL bettors will either take the Handicap or bet on Miami to win.

I can see now that this playoffs will be for Lakers but do you think is there a chance for the Miami Heat to catch up? It seems one of their players are injured is there at least a chance to win against Lakers?
The Ball is round and anything can happen.We cant say that this would be for Lakers and we cant say until the series is finished.

Miami would always have the chance but they should changed up and try even more harder to beat Lakers.Remember that people do even say
that this one would be sweep out but Miami prove out that they are capable on beating this strong team.
Exactly and not all the time the pulse of a player isn't that great and depends too on how much he's in good condition before the game begins. Sadly but I think this time it's gonna be for Lakers but good thing that Miami give them the best they could even they are that of a underrated team in the NBA.

Too much potential by the way of the young guns like Tyler Herro, feels like this kid has the potential to be the next face in the NBA. He's a rookie but he's already made some history in the books.

They will be a huge threat "if" Durant and Irving will be able to stay healthy until the playoffs.

Durant coming from injury, we don't know if he is still the same Kevin Durant.
Kyrie Irving also is not consistent, very fragile, we don't know when he will be injured or if he can complete the NBA playoffs.
Hopefully Nets would be fully Healthy, that's all I wish to see a great playoffs next season.

For now, I must say advance congratulations to the Lakers, they'll certainly end the series in 5.

Durant and Kyrie.
Then, with their new head coach Steve Nash.
I am not sure if this is a good combination but its like Durant and Kyrie are already making bad impressions in their recent podcast.
Jealousy against Lebron and then a cheap shot to Steve Nash.
I don't know what their goals at but I don't see those two as leaders.
I'd rather pick Dinwiddie to lead the Nets team.

Probablem is, is that Spencer couldn't hold durants jock.  Durant so lomg as he comes back is top 5 if not top 3 in the league.  Nobody is like durant.  Leadership yeah and all, but if everyone is healthy Spencer won't be the lead dog on that team he might not even start

A rebuke can always happen, the sport is like that, but I think that even though Miami is catching up with the Lakers, the Lakers will still be the ones to win. I don't like them, but they showed that they play with the highest quality. All sports fans support Miami, I hope they win.

No question about your stand regarding to Lakers winning the finals but we ain't sure if that will happened this coming game 5.

Until the last final buzzer before we can say if Lakers will finished it or Miami will try to add another game.

Lebron with Anthony Davis is just too much for Butler and Herro, I've got too much respect to butler since when he joined the timberwolves. Chances of Miami Heat to catch up is slim, as far as I know only Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 was the only team to get up from 3-1 deficit in NBA finals. Perhaps the history will repeat itself against the one who made it before  Roll Eyes

It seems one of their players are injured is there at least a chance to win against Lakers?
I don't really think so, they got a bunch of players to substitute with.

No doubt Lakers will end the series in 5, but how about the spread, can they finally cover it?

IIRC, they cover the spread in game 1, so they might live to cover the spread in game 5 if they'll end the series here.
I agree that they will.

Somehow, there are a few of us here that still wanting to see more of this finals and cheering up for Heat. But at the same time, we're seeing an end to this.

Knowing that Lakers are realy hunger for another title, they will take it once the opportunities is open!

though Miami can duplicate what they've done from game 3 trying to lock AD and not to allow him to dominate, while doing that
Butler needs to step up and bring the momentum to his team, tough but that's the only way to extend this series.

They should make that game play just like on game 3 if they do really like on at least getting another game.They need to step-up and make a new unpredictable plan and yes
this would really be a tough job but its better to try it rather than letting them to dominate into this game 5 and close the series.I'd love to see this series would go
through game 7 but it seems that Lakers will definitely close it out and wont really miss out any chances for letting Miami would have a comeback.
They wont miss up the opportunity as long the chances of losing is there but im really impressed on how Miami do fight even if they arent really that

At the start of the season two teams have higher odds than Lakers, Clippers and Bucks. Obviously bucks because they were seen as the best team from east and if you are good enough to reach the finals anything could happen, what happens if suddenly Lebron and AD goes down on the same game? I can assure you that if Lebron and AD were injured right on the first game like Miami had, this would be a totally different series, which made sense so Bucks had the second biggest because at finals anything could happen and clippers had it best because they built a "super team" of sorts so they were favorites.

But, let's not act like Lakers were some "will they make the playoffs?" team, they were seen as third highest chance, with both bucks and clippers being beaten by other teams Lakers basically cruised to here and they are going to have one of the easiest championships I can remember in the past 30 years.

I'm hoping that this will happen, I would love to see Lakers tested more and to see more games. Objectively this scenario is quite unlikely to happen from what we have seen so far from both sides in the finals, but everything is possible in sports so I will be watching the next one with that in mind.
