[TheMarkMadsen]

Heat fans proving illiteracy still runs strong in Miami

They were favorites last year.

you're incorrect on this notion

[TimmyDuncan]

Just bet 300$ on the heat.
If I have to suffer like last year, I'd like to get at least a little money.

2011 Favorites
2012 Underdogs
2013 favorites
2014 Underdogs

Incorrect about what?

[GeeWiz]

This is the most even series in recent memory, it can go both ways, neither team is an underdog really, the only reason the Spurs are the odds favourites is because they have HCA.

[Solefade]

heat play better as underdogs

[Heavincent]

Great, here we go with the Heat bandwagon playing the lovable underdog card.

Is making excuses a regular thing on this website?

[Cocaine80s]

i dont understand.

last year the spurs looked like heavy favorites but were actually labeled as underdogs by oddsmakers.

This year heat look like the favorites yet they are the underdogs this time

MJ won chips as underdog: '91, '93, '98

As I said earlier, HCA is the reason why

1991?????

After the Bulls swept the Pistons, I am sure that the bulls were favorite against the lakers

[lilteapot]

Odds makers mean nothing. All this proves is what we knew; that this series is a true tossup.

They weren't. Especially after they lost game 1 on home court. People were favoring the Lakers due to experience, and Magic being the runner up MVP that season leading them into battle. It wasn't overwhelming, but I don't remember the Bulls being heavily favored. Granted I was very young during that 1991 Finals. My memory might be inaccurate. But I'm fairly certain they weren't favorites. 1993, and 1998 they were definitive underdogs.

You'd be dumb not to bet money on the Heat, Spurs are not the favourites.
