Hey all! We’re taking the day off from baseball after another solid day – 3/4 of those dog leans I mentioned hit. I only took one personally (the Cubbies), dumb.
Sticking with our bets on the NBA – enjoy your Sunday!
Celtics/Heat Game 7:
1Q under 48.5, 1 unit
Full game over 197.5, 1.5 units
Heat Win Eastern Conference Future (+475), Alive and Well
Remember when I took that future on Miami to win the East? Well she still has a heartbeat! What an amazing turnaround performance by the Heat. Lowry, Strus, PJ, Bam, and most of all Jimmy Butler came out on fire in Boston. And when Butler plays with that sort of confidence and aggression, he’s absolutely elite. I hope he can put on a repeat performance Sunday.
I think the totals are the best bets in this one, though. The early parts of these contests have started tremendously slow as of late, and nothing gets more contentious than a Game 7 in Miami. Expect a ton of turnovers, blocks, and physical play that prevents much scoring in the first 12 minutes. For the full game, with the amount of foul calls we’re seeing and the desperation of the moment, I think the second half pushes it over this crazy low full game total.
