MIA/IND GAME 6

[JetsMetsRangers]

Will Indiana win this one? +2.5 now, ML down to +125

[briguy13]

I think they do. No Bosh, Haslem, Pittman (lol) I think is too much to overcome. How many minutes are Anthony and Turiaf going to play? What happens if one/both get into foul trouble?

From ESPN stats:
In the 85 minutes Udonis Haslem has been on the court in this series, the Heat have been outscored by a point. In the 155 Haslem has been off the court, the Heat have actually faired much better, outscoring the Pacers by 28 points.
With Udonis Haslem suspended for a game, Ronny Turiaf's 13.0 minutes per game this series will likely increase. The Heat have outscored the Pacers by 13 points in the 65 minutes Turiaf has been on the floor this series - Turiaf is averaging 2.8 points in those 5 games.


I think the injuries to Granger and West will hurt the Pacers more than the suspension of Haslem. Granger and West will play tonight, but I doubt they'll both make an impact. The Pacers' offensive went south when Granger went down in Game 5. Defensively, if he can't guard James with much success, Wade and James should be able to get into the paint with ease and score a lot of easy buckets.

I'm playing the Heat tonight to close out the Pacers at -2.5. Also, leaning towards the under (182) as I think they close it out starting with their defense. With Granger and West hurting, the Pacers will have trouble scoring. Thinking something like 88-81

If LeBron cares game over

I'm looking to back the Heat here, but not at the current number. I'll hope they fall behind early and then look to in-game 'em.

If either team jumps out early, I might look to take the other team + the points in game. Can't see the Heat blowing IND out in an elimination game. And with no healthy West or Granger, Pacers offense could struggle. Has the feel of a low-scoring, close game to me.

good thoughts about under.. talked me into it.

[JayPrimetown]

I think the Granger injury could very well do Indiana in. Hard to imagine where their scoring comes from if he's a non factor.

The physicality the last couple games has motivated Lebron James... I think he has a big night. In the neighborhood of 35-40 points.
