They just announced that on Weei. That sounds so sketchy . How is a team that has been outplayed 4 straight games this series and are 1-7 (or something like that) in Boston during the 3 queen era favored in this game ?

Haven't they been favored in every game this series?

Exactly. Hope they show this to KG AND Rondo for that matter.  ;)

Apparently Vegas didn't pay attention to the trends that have developed over the last 4 games.

I can only assume that Vegas has made enough money from people betting the line on the Heat that they really don't care anymore.

Their goal is to get as even betting as possible from both sides.

If Miami is favored that means they want people to bet Boston right Dons?

I mean I can understand why alot of people without a rooting interest for either side would bet Miami right now.  I didnt the celts could beat Miami twice in a row let alone 4 times in a row.  Miami is due.

It looks like they're egging on people to take Boston, yes.

Celts were favored by 2 1/2 for Game 3.  Not sure about Game 4.

I only know Game 3 because it was one of those rare instances where I was supremely confident of a comfortable win for the Celts.  I may , or may not of, earned a wee bit of rubles for my troubles  ;) .
Yup

Well, as long as the officiating doesn't take this into account, I'm good.

Reffing has been fair the last few games - some called for BOS - some for MIA.

None of this lopsided mess we've seen before.

A fairly-reffed game will prove that The Boston Celtics are the better team.

I think it means that they expect more people to pick Miami to win without a point spread.

If people who use refs as an excuse say games are called fairly, that usually just means that either:

1 - their team won
2 - their team got the better end of more missed calls
