The Miami Heat were supposed to have the dream team and an NBA Championship, but fell short vs. the Mavericks a year ago. They quickly jumped out to a 2-0 series lead here, and then the focus was lost. Boston rallied for three straight wins and trouble lurked for the Heat. Enter LeBron James, the one that would take the most heat if Miami failed again. I think we all know what happened. LeBron was superman in Game 6, scoring 45 points, grabbing 15 boards, and dishing out 5 assists. Do you think he is going to let up in Game 7? At the same time the Heat put the handcuffs on Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce who managed just 10-32 and 21 combined points. Boston can surely do a better job on defense, and they will as game 7s are historically played at a slower pace. But James has his game face on now, and I expect a top-level performance again tonight. If they couldn't stop him in Boston, they are not doing it Miami. The Heat are now 17-8 ATS in their last 25 as chalk, and are playing 25 of their last 35 at home to the UNDER. Boston is now four straight to the UNDER after a double-digit home loss and will bring the "D," but not much else. Play on Miami and the UNDER.
