Even the casual fan can understand how strong the big three and Miami have been this season, but in order to get a true appreciation for just how good this group has been you would have to look at the online sports betting numbers that they have put up together. Take game four of their best-of-seven conference semi final series against the defending Eastern conference champion Boston Celtics as the perfect example, as the big three absolutely put on a clinic in a 98-90 win in one of the toughest venues to play in at the TD Gardens. Lebron James scored a game-high 35 points in that win, with Dwayne Wade dropping 28, and Chris Bosh chipping in another 20 as they moved within one game of eliminating Boston from the postseason. Those numbers would look impressive regardless of when they were registered, but the fact that they were able to score like that in a playoff game, against a Celtics’ team with its back against the wall, and on the road is truly amazing, and it only gets more incredible the deeper you go on. The big three for Miami scored the final 31 points for the team while taking the final 20 shots in the win, including all seven shots they took in overtime. Aside from the trio of James, Wade, and Bosh, not a single Heat player scored in the fourth quarter or overtime. The fact that the Heat can get by against the team that nobody thought they would be able to beat with those three scorers doing all of the heavy lifting is a sign of just how strong they are, and the more that their confidence builds the more that they will be able to get the job done in the NBA scores.
While the heavy statistics are huge when it comes to MLB betting, they are every bit as important to prove how strong the Heat have been in these playoffs. The Thunder will get through to the NBA finals after struggling on what seemed like a fairly easy road, but they will be in tough to stop the trio of James, Wade, and Bosh. Those three have been dominant at both ends of the floor, and that will continue as they surprise the world by bringing home a championship in their first year together.
