First place in the Eastern Conference is on the line and with the way\u00a0LeBron and his teammates have struggled at times it\u2019s quite astounding they can be in this\u00a0position.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat have not been the greatest team ever which some believed they would be but for them to still be at the top of the conference with all of the early losing shows truly how great this team is. King James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are as good of a threesome as there is out there. Boston isn\u2019t chopped liver with Rondo, Pierce, Allen and Garnett that\u2019s certainly for sure but they are not as talented as the Heat and after blowing that last game to the Lakers should be up against it tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Erik Spoelstra\u2019s boys are flying high right now and are the best team in the NBA. Playing in Beantown at the Boston Garden against this experienced Boston team is not going to be easy at all but at this near pick-em price it\u2019s still a deal.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd will be rocking for this litmus type test and I think that the C\u2019s will compete for the duration. But the bottom line is that Miami is the class of the NBA and the Heat should be able to beat anybody anywhere right now and to get them and pretty much only have to win the game in order to grab the cash is a bit too good to pass up, period.<\/p>\n<p>The pick: Miami Heat from the real Matt Rivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information: <\/strong>A high quality 3-1 yesterday including yet another 400,000* winner on Nebraska, with ease. Right around 500,000* of profit on Saturday alone and now I continue the assault with a pair of winners on the hardwoods including a rare bomb in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>The game may stink but who cares as it all counts the same in the end. A third straight 400,000* winner is here involving\u00a0Washington and Cleveland along with a 300,000* Providence and Connecticut. 2-0? For sure. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?Page=Packages\">Rivers entire card is up<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Sunday NBA winner on the Miami Heat (-2) at Boston on ABC TV.
