Heat (-4.5) vs Nets. Shaq finally looked like Shaq late in the series with the Bulls, and that can't be good for New Jersey. By the way, as a huge fan of both Shaq and Dwyane Wade, I've been a Heat supporter of sorts. But no more. What a digusting display the Heat were against the Bulls, Shaq and Wade aside. Bickering with themselves, with refs, with Chicago Bears in attendance, committing dirty fouls. Yap, yap, yap and more yap. Ugly team. I'm having a hard time liking these guys. Real hard. I've always suspected that no matter how much I like a team's roster, if Pat Riley is coaching said team, it will eventually morph into a collection of trash-talking, thug-ly curmudgeons that will ultimately disappoint. And so it is with the Heat.
Suns (-5.5) vs Clippers. After drifting towards the light against the Lakers and narrowly avoiding an embarrassing death, the Suns should have their heads on straight and prove to be the scourge of Los Angeles basketball fans everywhere.
Suns/Clippers over 208.5
May record: 8-5
