NBA Playoffs Game of the year

Finals Game #2
Miami Heat up 1-0 in the best of 7 series.
Sportsbook.com has Miami Heat -4.5 Total 186.5
Series price Miami Heat -340 Dallas Mavericks +260

Miami comes into this game 9-0 at home in the playoffs. The big 3 look unstoppable with Bosh leading the way. He has had the best all around game for the Miami Heat with Wade and James doing the scoring.

In Game 1 the Dallas Mavericks got out rebounded by the Miami Heat 10 total boards and a staggering 10 offensive rebounds. That is a dominating number to work with. You can see why the Heat came back in the second half of game 1.

In Game 1 Dirk Nowitzki was held under 50% from the field for only the 2nd time in 11 playoff games. Dirk got little help from Peja Stojakovic, JJ Barea and Brendon Hayward who combined for a total of 5 points!

A weakness for the Miami Heat all season and into the playoffs, has been their bench scoring. In game 1 they outscored the Dallas bench 27-22. The Dallas Mavericks bench has been one of the top scoring squads all year, look for a big turn around in game 2 for the Mavericks.

Getting out rebounded and with little help from Dirk Nowitki's supporting cast, Dallas found a way to only get beat by 8.

This will get us to a favorite angle in the playoffs, play the team that lost the previous game outright against the spread in the very next game. What makes this a 2 unit selection, is that Dallas was dominated on the boards and players that average 23 points a game were held to 5 total point. It was not the defense that shut these players down but very poor shooting.

Look for the Mavericks bench to rebound and outscore the Miami Heat bench and win this game outright.

THE PLAY.

Dallas Mavericks +4.5 This is a 2 unit selection. My NBA Playoff Game Of the Year.
