45-25
So I got home early from work and thought I would revise my thread. This time with why I am on the heat. Here you guys go and GL!
Heat ML
Upon further review, I decided to stick with Miami ML
At first I was thinking that there is no way Chicago will shoot 34% again.( 7 of 20 3-pointers, 17 of 42 in the paint, and 16 of 26 from the foul line.) This was before looking at the rebounding numbers. I had figured that Chicago drastically out rebounded Miami again. So even if they just hit 43%, they would win because of all the second shot opportunities.
Well I was surprised to see that Miami actually out-rebounded Chicago for the first time with 45-41. This changed everything for me.
Now that Miami is utilizing Haslem, they just got a lot deeper. They finally have someone that uses high energy and toughness to rebound the ball. This takes away the Bulls biggest advantage. If Miami can even keep the rebounding close to the Bulls.. than their superior shooting will do the rest.
Everyone knows that I am huge on momentum. Based on the Last game, I saw Miami end up with a lot of it. Big King James pressed the on button and literally increased their offense from a 7 to a 10. I saw the confidence gleaming from them and now with them going back home, I see them picking right up from where they left off in game 2.
Dont get me wrong... I love the Bulls and I will probably be betting on them within the next games... but in this spot I think Miami has the edge.
I see a HUGE game from James now that he knows he has the power to dominate if he needs to. I also see Wade having a giant game since he finally figured out how to play against Chicago's defense. He was literally invisible in game 1 and really stepped it up in game 2.
Haslem will also need to continue to press hard if the Heat want to take this one. He has the talent to do it and knows it by how great he played in game 2. He may even perform better with his newly found confidence as well.
I'm riding the Heats momentum/confidence and taking them in front of their home crowed tonight where they have just been brutal during these playoffs.
Heat ML
Btw, I'm taking the ML because I do hold a lot of value to past numbers and most of the games were decided by about 4 (the first games). The line is too sharp for me to want to mess with it tonight.
