What you guys think on Denver-Miami series? What you would bet on? I think Denver is in advantage and will try to play agressive and make Miami take hard shots, so I would play Miami under first game.

Denver Nuggets have arguably been the best team in this playoffs, but the 8th seeded Miami Heat aren't just going to concede defeat either, The Nuggets will be facing their toughest opponent of the series so far, and it will be an entirely the different ball game compared to what the Nuggets faced against Lakers, they sure aren't going have it any easy this time around.

They aren't going to have it easy but this is a bad matchup for the Heat.  Murray/jokic pick amd roll game is going to destroy the heat.  Jokic can spread the heat bigs by playing outside.  No way can zeller be matched up against jokic so it's gonna take bam all he has but jokic should be 30+ points 15+ rebounds and 10 plus assists average for the series.  Dude is gonna rake.


Yeah, I understand how terrifying Jokic and Jamal Murray pick and roll can be when at it's optimal level, Denver Nugget swept the Miami Heat in the regular season by the way, but this is the playoffs and it's easier said than done, because the Heat defense could be very suffocating for the Nuggets and them become the ones forced to take tough shots. Miami Heat path to the finals have been the toughest of the two sides imo, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics in the playoffs enroute to the finals indeed isn't just a fluke.

Hi, JooBra

But the reality is that Miami has its number 22 very focused, it will be an unpredictable final but I lean my bet on Denver, in this first game I cannot go directly to a champion since I am not a fan of any of these finalists, Smiley  so the predictions... Game by Game.


Well it's so easy to like Denver and Jokic, he looks like one of us but baskeball IQ biggest there is. I can't wait to start it lets see what happens.

Heat in a familiar territory with the bookies for game 1 hehe.
Nugget @1.26
Heat @3.65

I'm taking Heat +6.50 handicap @2.12

I read that Heat booked a flight straight to Denver after winning game 7 maybe to get used to the place as early as possible. That's a good sign to me because it shows they really mean business.

I'm also hoping the Nuggets to start slow after that long "rest".

I admit that I did not believe that Miami would be able to reach the NBA finals. However, it must be admitted that they deservedly got to this place. In today's match, the Celtics did not pose any challenge for them. Of course, the unlucky injury of Jason Tatum at the very beginning of the match had an impact on this situation, but the other players also failed a lot. Jaylen Brown, who due to the injury of his colleague should take the burden of the game on himself, got as many as 8 turnovers and a terrible field goals efficiency. With Miami's 50% 3-point shooting percentage, this game could not have ended otherwise than with a victory for the Florida team.
Too big of a chance to break that history and make it to the Finals for the home team but it's really for the Miami Heat and they deserve it with respect on how they played. Got lost on this game 7, I thought that they'll break that history same as the Nuggets. Well, I guess the Nuggets will overpower them now and that team isn't an easy one.

I think the Celtics are not a defensive team anymore last year they have a crazy defense that surely many don't want to mess but right now they have switched to an offensive team and added to this Jayson Tatum got a bad ankle toward the game so he surely has a hardtime making points, and this bad luck continues until the 4th quarter, Bam Adebayo has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 12 points, Caleb Martin has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 26 points while Jimmy butler got 28 points winning this game,


They are also a good defensive team, as they were able to beat the Heat in three straight games. However, no matter how good the team is, they can also have a bad game, and it so happened that the Celtics had a bad game in Game 7, making them unable to defy history. With the result of the game, still no team has ever come back to win from a 0-3 deficit.

The problem is that most of us were expecting the Celtics to easily dispose of the Heat since they were playing on their home court. In fact, Paul Pierce was too confident that they would win. However, the Heat were prepared, they did their job, and were not emotionally affected by the three straight losses.
They are stronger on the road, they love the competitive environment there and the pressure was actually on the Boston Celtics as they are playing at home and it's a must-win game.
They are still a defensive team, the Miami Heat just played better offense today and I think Butler being aggressive has a lot to do with that.
Caleb Martin showing his huge confidence may have been the reason for the Celtics' defeat. He is a consistent player but he stepped up his game today and it's all worth the exhausting battle on both ends of the floor. He played 45 minutes, Coach Spo may have felt that is he is hot and he will also be their key to win the game on the road.

What you guys think on Denver-Miami series? What you would bet on? I think Denver is in advantage and will try to play agressive and make Miami take hard shots, so I would play Miami under first game.

Yeah, in paper and in records, Denver has the advantage with their big guy Jokic and then the resurgence of Jamal Murray, and then they have Porter Jr and then Aaron Gordon. But then again, no one thought that the Heat will reach the finals again with this undrafted lineup but they upset the number 1 and number 2 seed din the East so this is a difficult series to predict. And if we are looking for the underdogs Heat again, then I wouldn't be surprised if they make it and become the NBA champions.

Miami should not be underestimated as they have already reached the NBA Finals. In terms of experience, Miami has the advantage, as their coach has already appeared in the NBA Finals six times, if I'm not mistaken. So, while the Nuggets may have a stronger roster than Miami, in the NBA Finals, I believe experience is also crucial for a team's success.

This an advantage for the bettors especially for the Heat lovers out there because the team has been listed as a heavy underdog in the game that will happen later. But for me, I think I'll just bet live just to be sure because even if we judge some of their games that has happened recently, we cannot still deny that fact that the game will be unpredictable later. I mean, anything can happen, could be a close game or could be a blow out game by either of the team. So yes, good luck to those who got an advance bet and I'll just settle mine later live.

The pressure was not on the Miami Heat for this game you can see that the Heat was super composed while playing and the Boston Celtics are now the ones that are under pressure for this game, they don't look composed in this game, while the Miami heat was more composed and surely getting those needed shots, It was a sad ending for the Boston Celtics after that 0 - 3 deficit and tying the game until game 7 the Boston Celtics have a loss that opportunity to win the Finals there are 15 turnover for the Celtics while 12 Turnovers for the Heat,



Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat SCORE 84 - 103 - LOST

I think the Celtics are not a defensive team anymore last year they have a crazy defense that surely many don't want to mess but right now they have switched to an offensive team and added to this Jayson Tatum got a bad ankle toward the game so he surely has a hardtime making points, and this bad luck continues until the 4th quarter, Bam Adebayo has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 12 points, Caleb Martin has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 26 points while Jimmy butler got 28 points winning this game,

I got the under on this game.  The only thing that scares me is that Celtics run and gun.  But my guess is everyone is going to be a little tight and each possession calculated.  Defensive pressure is going to be high.  I got this as Boston 105 Miami 91.  Why you got the over any reason? 
201 total points is a low number for me and betting for the Miami Heat is also part of the reason. Whenever they win it's always an over, base on their stats in the first three games.
1/2 for me but still a win due to the x3.60 for the Heat.
201.5 was not hit because of the blowout and the Celtics cannot even answer back in three points made. They shot really badly behind the distant line, 9/42 which is not a good number. 21 percent. Ouch!

Jimmy Butler won the Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP. But it's not done yet, you can see in his face that there's more work to do and I like it. Denver Nuggets has more weapons than the Boston Celtics and they will have to play harder if they want the championship so badly.
Anyway, for all those who bet for the Miami Heat ML at all 7 games, we are still winners. Most of it is an underdog bet so we made a bit of a profit in this whole series.
In the next series though, I may not bet for them unless the handicap is inviting enough.
Congratulations to all the winners, upon browsing, I think most of us took the risk of betting for the underdog. Nice!

in the first 3 games the celtics lost by a big difference of points which already suggested that the celtics didn't have any chance of winning the heat, but everything changed in the game 4 when the celtcs won by a big difference of points and in the game 5 celtcs also won again by a big difference in points, only in game 6 and that was a very balanced game, in my opinion I see celtics leaving this game with victory which would be a great milestone case, it is not easy to become one serie in which I was at a big disadvantage, I hope celtcs win this game


I would prefer a Denver Nuggets vs Boston Celtics NBA finals than Denver vs Heat finals, That said, Game 6 was really a close one as the final suggest imo, Boston Celtics led all the way and Miami Heat had their first lead after about 4-5 minutes into game in the 4th Quarter and Boston Celtics had double digit lead for majority of the night, The Heat were just rather able to crawl their way back into the game and almost stole the show right there before that moment of magic by Derrick White.

Boston Celtics should be able to get this done quite easily but playoffs Jimmy Bucket might something else in store for us, he's been off maximum efficiency recently so let's see if he can find his rhythm tonight.

Game 6 win for Boston was absolute luck. There was nothing that Heat could have done on the last possession. Anyway they are one stop from the ultimate choke. No matter how talented Boston players are I still believe that if Miami defends well the perimeter they would be able to reach the finals. Yes, Tatum and Brown can score from anywhere, but Butler will torture Celtics' D. Celtics did the easiest part (coming back from 0-3) but winning game 7 even on home court is something else. Let the best team win. Hopefully there is a lot of drama and at least two overtimes.

As much as i want Miami to make the Finals, they blew it, not happening. Looking at the officials tonight, NBA sure as hell ain't helping them either. It's Scott Foster and Tony Brothers, yikes, a double whammy...only missing Eric Lewis in there to complete the Holy Trinity of home cooking.
