no one in the right mind thinks they will win the series, if by that you mean more than half of the time. Do I think they have better than a 1/7 shot of winning the series, which would justify laying +650? Actually I don't, but I don't think they're very far off this number. I'd say they definitely have a better than 10% shot. by your tone, it seems that you give them less than 5%, yet by what you've said in this thread you're thinking what i am: neither series price has much value, if any, and the spurs will likely win the series. AS IS THE CASE WITH MOST -850/+650 lines.
you think that laying +650 is 'a waste of money' and that laying -850 is 'just as stupid as laying +1200 on lakers to win the west'. it doesn't seem you have much of an opinion on this line whatsoever, and simply started a thread to let us know that a -850 team with championships, home court advantage, and tons of playoff experience under their belt will beat a young, inexperienced team. if so, great thread and i'll bow out.
as far as your mark jackson comment, you would totally disagree with it if you read half the things the Warriors players have said about him throughout the year.
