NBA博彩预测:马刺和热火面临被淘汰出局

  迈阿密热火队和圣安东尼奥马刺队一直被认为是整个季后赛临近决赛的博彩热门,他们轻而易举的赢得了两轮季后赛,直到分别对阵波士顿凯尔特人和俄克拉荷马雷霆之前都被看好。

  在东西部地区决赛的前两场比赛后,热火队和马刺队看起来是要继续他们的领先优势,他们都在自己的赛区赢得了前两场比赛,自那以后,迈阿密和圣安东尼奥就开始走背字了,周三晚和周四他们都面临被淘汰的边缘。

  雷霆队和凯尔特人队在仅仅一周之前表现出扭转赛区决赛局面的惯有精神和强劲势头,雷霆的凯文.杜兰特和凯尔特人的凯文.加内特在三场比赛中雄冠全场,现在他们已经可以看到胜利的曙光,俄克拉荷马雷霆周三在主场赢得了冲向决赛的第一场主场胜利。

  与此同时,赌客们将在令人震惊的两个第五场比赛中损失惨重,很多分析家预言迈阿密和圣安东尼奥能够在主场的第五场比赛赢回地区赛的领先地位,但是他们都表现不佳,使得预言者和赌徒们都十分纳闷在这一轮比赛开始时掌握主动权的球队发生了什么事情。

  “这差不多就是一个180度的大逆转”博彩分析家布拉德.道金斯说“俄克拉荷马和波士顿只是小试身手,地区赛的局面就和上一周完全不同了,我不知道迈阿密和圣安东尼奥能不能及时恢复状态来挽回局面,不过话说回来,他们都有优秀的球员,所以不排除这种可能”

  热火队将面临他们的“三巨头”不再出现在第二赛季的排行榜上的问题,自从勒布朗.詹姆斯、德怀恩.韦德和克里斯.波什两个夏季前在迈阿密组成三人组以后,他们多次被列为排行榜的首选,如果他们失去6月8日对波士顿的第六场比赛,这个预言就无法实现了。

  “如果迈阿密输了这场比赛,帕特.莱利就有一个好机会去做一个重大的调整,三人组中的一个将不会参加下一个赛季的比赛” 道金斯说。

  至于圣安东尼奥,绝望可能会更长久一些了,马刺队关键位置上的力量已经老迈,这个状况使得这个赛季被认为是蒂姆.邓肯在马刺的最后一站,马刺队今晚必须赢得比赛,然后回到主场再争取打赢第7场比赛才能进入决赛。

  NBA Betting Preview: Spurs, Heat, On The Brink Of Playoff Meltdown

  The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs have been the betting favorites all playoffs long to advance to the NBA Finals. They cruised through their first two rounds, and were considered favorites against Boston and Oklahoma City, respectively.

  After the first two games of the Eastern and Western conference finals, the Spurs and Heat looked as though they were going to continue their dominance, as both won the first two games of their series’. Since then, Miami and San Antonio have gone a combined 0-6, and tonight and Thursday they both face elimination on the road.

  The Thunder and Celtics have used energy and strong coaching to turn the tables on series’ which appeared to be over just a week ago. Kevin Durant and Kevin Garnett have played like men possessed the past three games, and now they can smell the finish line. Oklahoma City gets the first shot to advance to the finals tonight at home.

  Bettors, meanwhile, were left holding the bag in a pair of shocking game five losses. Most analysts predicted that San Antonio and Miami would reclaim the series leads in game five at home, but both played poorly down the stretch, leaving prognosticators and gamblers to wonder what happened to the teams that dominated the beginning of this round.

  ”It is almost like a complete 180,” said Gaming Analyst Brad Dawkins. “Oklahoma City and Boston just threw a switch, and the series’ have been completely different the past week. I don’t know if either Miami or San Antonio will recover in time to save their seasons. On the other hand, both teams are loaded with talent, so it could happen.”

  The Heat are facing the possibility of their “Big Three” going down without a title for the second straight season. When LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh were assembled in Miami two summers’ ago, the trio predicted multiple titles. If they lose game six tomorrow in Boston, that prediction may never come to fruition.

  ”If Miami loses this game, there’s a good chance that Pat Riley will make some type of major move, and that one of those three players will not be playing for the heat next season,” said Dawkins.

  For San Antonio, the desperation may be even further along. The Spurs are getting older at key positions, and the run they have made this season is considered to be one of their last stands with Tim Duncan. The Spurs will have to win in Oklahoma tonight, and then go home and clinch game seven in San Antonio in order to advance to the finals.
