Guest Shots : 5/22/2013Reviewing Indiana/Miami From 2012By Wayne Root: The Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat played each other LAST YEAR in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and take the floor again this week with very similar styles of play. Indiana is certainly more experienced and more mature this time around. Miami improved areas of weakness by bringing in Ray Allen to hit three-pointers and a BIRDMAN to grab rebounds. Last year's series was great until Indiana faded late. Could this year's series be even greater? Let's review the results from 2012... Game One: Miami (-8) beat Indiana 95-86 It looked like Indiana was going to pull off a SHOCK THE NATION stunner when they led the series 2-1. They really were the better team in Games Two and Three, and they had the whole world wondering if the Miami experiment was going to be a failure. Miami couldn't solve the riddle of the Indiana defense (scoring just 75 points in their two losses). To their credit, the Heat made some adjustments...settled the ship...and ultimately crushed the souls of the Pacers with double digit covers in the last two games. Miami won the series 4-2, and went 4-2 against the Vegas spread. We're likely to see pointspreads in the same price range this year based on the Game One number. The market is telling us that Indiana's growth as a team has matched Miami's personnel improvements. Handicappers have to determine if we're going to see a re-run of last year (Indiana hangs tough for awhile before fading), or if something different is in the cards. You regulars know I'm THE KING OF UPSETS because of my unmatched record of documented upset calls as a Vegas handicapper. I'm naturally looking at things from the Indiana perspective. My questions for this series are:
I'm very excited about this series because I think the Vegas line can't capture the inherent volatility. If Indiana can stay competitive...then the medium favorite prices in Miami are going to be way too high. If Indiana is just flat out-matched...then the small favorite prices for the Heat in Indiana are going to be way too low. A lot of big play potential! Notice that the cover margins last year after the first game were 10, 21, 6, 25, and 10. Oddsmakers had a good read on the first game, but were nowhere near the reality of the series after that.
