Who didn't see this coming. Knew Miami would win easily tonight.

 

 

All this drama and Miami is going to virtually coast from this point forward.

 

 

 

Weber,  you name the price on our bet. It's the easiest money i'll ever make.

15 turnovers for Indiana....moment too big for them?

[BSLChrisStoner]

Miami up 15, after Wade scores off an offensive board. 5 minutes left in the 3rd.

 

Maybe one more punch coming from Indiana, but don't think they have enough offense to make up that deficit.

For all the drama, Miami has never trailed in this series. Never really been in trouble. They cruised in Gm 3, they virtually cruised in Gm5.Yes, they were down at halftime but seized control of the game by the start of the 4th, and they are cruising tonight.

 

They've never really been threatened. I'm sure Mike will argue that but it's true.

 

 

Not only was the moment to big for Indiana which I mentioned as one of my reasons for them getting beat easily tonight but it's like people forget how good Miami's defense can be when they really decide to turn it up. Talk about offense struggles all you want but this team can still win a lot of games just with their defense.

A little drama in the booth about the flopping.

Thats the only way I could lose my bet to Mike. If Lebron gets a red card and has to sit out a crucial game in the Finals for flopping.

[You Play to Win the Game]

I had high hopes for this game. It's pretty much already over before the end of the 3rd. Way too much momentum for Miami, and Hibbert with 5 fouls. They're toast. 

[bnickle]

We don't need to see them lose anything. You said there was no way they could lose. So did B-Nick. Guess what? They've lost 50% of their games against Indiana and we have a game 7. 1 of those wins for Miami was a miracle.

 

How many wins did Charlotte win this year? Yes...the Heat can lose tonight. 

 

If not, you can lay 3-1 on your money and become a millionaire tonight by betting Miami. 

Dilutis you're so lucky I wasn't around this afternoon. I would have been so gidddy to only have to give you 3-1 tonight.

[SBTarheel]

I wonder if things would have been different if Danny Granger was even a little healthy...Indiana's bench is atrocious.

 

The cream rose to the top tonight, that is pretty obvious.

Great defense and rebounding from the Heat tonight. And yes Branden, of course I disagree. Anytime a series goes 7, there WA a threat. I'm not sure how that can even be argued against.

Argue semantics all you want. Bottom line is, and I think most here would agree, Miami was in control of the series all the way.

[SBTarheel]

Looking forward to watching the Dr. J documentary.

[mweb08]

I'm not arguing semantics at all. I'm making a really simple and obvious point. That's all.

Was Miami not in control of this series the whole way??? They never trailed in the series. The only time they didn't have home court was heading into gm3 where they completely smacked the Pacers down like they did tonight.

 

This sereis was never as close as it was on paper, being 7 games and all.

[SportsGuy]

This game played out exactly how Wilbon said it would when he was on PTI today.

[mweb08]

The series was very close going into tonight. Anytime a series goes 7, the favorite was threatened. That's all. Miami was still the favorite throughout and I never said otherwise.

[PD24]

Dilutis you're so lucky I wasn't around this afternoon. I would have been so gidddy to only have to give you 3-1 tonight.

 

Nah, I actually took Miami. They were never losing tonight IMO. But they went from not being able to lose in the Finals in your eyes to being tied with 1 minute left in game 7 to the #3 seed in the East. That's quite a fall, sir.

Semantics. Sure, you can argue they were threatened. SO bad choice of words from me. At the same time, they were always in control of the series. Not once did I, or probalby a lot of other people, really think Miami was going to lose the series.

 

 

BTW....name the bet for the Finals. You get 5-1. Just think of the amount of money you're willing to lose. Cuz I'm gonna make you sign the bill and I'm gonna hang it up somewhere

I'm not going to take advantage of you like that because I like you. If I didn't, I'd take the Spurs 5-1 with you and then take the Heat laying 3-1.

And they still didn't lose that 4th game.

That's what I have been saying.,.will anyone be able to beat them 4 times? I just don't see it.
