Miami at Washington.

Gonna try some Miami -5 or preferrably -4.5 there is still some -4.5 about.
Etan thomas buggered his abdomen on tuesday so hopefully that'll be him out tonight (nothing personal etan just business )
Kwame Brown is suspended as well so that's no bad thing.
Hopefully this time Dwayne Wade won't make an arse of so many free throws....he hit 11/19 last game which aint exactly great for someone like him.

In play offs Miami shoot 52.6% field goals whilst allowing only 39.4%
In play offs Washington shoot 42.8% whilst allowing 44.8%

Shaq seemed a little sluggish last game as well. Hopefully that won't be the case in this game. And the sooner miami can finish washington off...the more chill time shaq and co can have. So hopefully they will comfortably manage to get victory number 3 and be only a single game from victory.

erm ok what's happened ? 10 mins prior to tip off and the line has just fallen to -2 . Erm someone must be out or something.

[jjbear]

Yeah, Shaq is out.

cheers JJ.

[aliensyndm]

That's absolutely rancid. Here's me blabbering about all the players out for washington and shaq is out. Gonna be devastated if miami win by 2,3 or 4 I am ! :fw

Miami fighting back in the 3rd quarter Alien, 65-60, hope they hold on for you .

[aliensyndm]

If they manage this I think I might owe dwayne wade a beer.
This is the thing with basketball betting, I'm never sure when to jump on the price. OK so I could have had -1.5 but would I still have taken the bet knowing shaq is out ? Hmmmm. Many times though the line might have gone up to -5.5, it's hard to judge when to take it.

[daikoku]

Know what you mean Alien, I dabbled with basketball a couple of months ago but I just don't have a feel for it. I just watch from the sidelines now.

13 ahead now, a pretty decent cushion.

[aliensyndm]

Dwayne wade I owe you one
Who needs shaq , he's pish !
Is that miami as good as through ? Surely it is, would take a brave (stupid?) person to back wizzers now you would think.
