Tonights NBA Eastern Conference Game 7

[blackfritz]

Any one know if Dwayne Wade plays or not? If he starts he won't be 100% and Shaq is also carrying a thigh injury. Miami were stuffed on Saturday night without him so I can see this one going to Detroit who have proved over the past couple of years that they can handle the pressure of the big games. Odds aren't that great on a Detroit victory - 2.18 on Betfair available at the moment.
Shame its not live on the tele, but should be a good game.

I'll be keeping an eye on this game. Odds/line may change depending on wade in/out. I'll post more as news becomes available.
I couldn't pick my nose at the moment to be honest, although obviously all the bets I don't post up win by a mile...like NY mets last night(matt will confirm that). I'd agree and would want to be on detroit as well surely.
When they sort their defence out noone can play against them. It's just I never seem to be on them when they do !

Watching the last game just now on Sky. Detroit playing well right now, Shaq has been very poor so far. I couldnt agree more about Detroit and big games - when they need it to count they put in a masterful defensive show. Wade or no Wade - i think i will take Detroit either way.

Hmmmm well allegedly wade is definitely going to play, it's just a question of how fecked up he is.

My thoughts just now - if Wade makes it, Miami are going to have their 3 best starters injured and not fully fit in Wade, Shaq and Eddie Jones. Against less accomplished teams they could maybe pull through, but against a defencively sound team like Pistons its going to take a hell of a lot out of them.

A bit of history is that the home team wins Game 7 in the playoffs 82 percent of the time so if your into all this then your going to believe its Heat that will get the win.

Watching the game just now - Heat seem to be a bit clueless at the minute playing without Wade and Shaq at the minute. I am going to wait till its announced on Wade as i do expect him to play and the price on Detroit should rise a bit if he does make it.

Detroit to win outright 5pts
Detroit to win with handicap 5pts

Wade starts. BF odds still around 2.18. Have had 10 Pts on Detroit win tonight. handicap only 2 - 2.5 Pts so made my mind up to go for outright win.


Good Luck all .

Looks like we are all on detroit. Not a main bet for me as i think this could be dodgy but on detroit nevertheless

Up to date scores here:

9 - 4 Miami with nearly 5 minutes gone, looks like a defensive game which will suit Detroit!

Well done guys - looks like we all made a bit of profit today

[aliensyndm]

Bout fecking time ! It was a close game near the end, would like to have seen it. Somehow watching the scores flash up on CBS isn't quite as exciting.
Judging from the score detroit must have made the game very defensive which obviously would suit them. Hmmm now spurs or pistons eh ? :think

[Kiko]

Spurs or Pistons - tough one. The games have been very close if my memory serves me right? I will take a closer look nearer the time.

Interesting last night that before the game yesterday they were both 5/1 to win the thing outright. Considered putting them both on then laying it off but bottled it.

[aliensyndm]

I have a little on the pistons outright at betfair at 4.9
They are down to 2.96 now, I think I might just let it ride and hope for the best. Spurs are obviously favourite but by no means a certainty.
First match is on the 9th I think
