I’ve got the Heat winning Game 7 tonight, then moving on to the NBA Finals and losing to the San Antonio Spurs in 7 games.
I’ve had Heat in 7 all along, as have staff columnists Jan Hubbard and Andy Kamenetsky. Everyone else had Heat in 6 or less, and nobody at this site picked the Pacers. (Same at ESPN.com. And same at SI.com — where everyone had Heat in 5 or 6. (If you know of anyone who predicted Pacers in 7, drop us a line in the comments section).
What I’d like to see is a game that goes into the final 3 minutes tied or close to tied, but the oddsmakers don’t quite foresee that happening. They have installed Indiana as a 7-point underdog (and a 4-1 longshot on the money line).
What do I think of that line? My answer is below in this Game 7 preview video with CineSport’s Noah Coslov.
I picked Indiana in 7. Though I’m from Indianapolis and always have been a Pacers fan.
