Heat -5, total 182
Miami is favored by five points on Tuesday at SBG. The Heat did a lot of things right in Game 1 and Wade was brilliant. When the pace is fast there are not many players in the league better than Wade and Boston turned the ball over 14 times. Miami scored 26 points off those turnovers. Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce combined to turn it over nine times in Game 1. Boston players have said that they simply can’t turn the ball over against Miami and expect to win.
Rondo Lays an Egg Again
If there is a player tougher to figure out in the NBA than Boston’s Rajon Rondo it would be hard to believe. There are times when he looks like an All-Star and other times when he looks like he doesn’t know how to play the game. In Game 1 it was the bad Rondo for Boston and they really suffered because of his poor play. He was 3 of 10 from the field for only eight points. He had only seven assists and turned the ball over five times. If Rondo doesn’t play better than he did in Game 1 this is going to be a short series in NBA playoffs betting. The Celtics simply can’t win if Rondo doesn’t play well. Almost every Boston player has admitted that Rondo is the engine that drives the team. Even as badly as Boston played they were down just eight points with over four minutes left but then Rondo killed their chances with four turnovers in the last few minutes.
