Anyone else love the Thunder at +700 to win the finals? I'm not saying it's going to happen but at this stage in the game, Miami is the obvious favorite and Dallas will be the favorite in the west but that seems like a great value at that number especially with the talent the Thunder have. I actually think the Grizzlies present a tougher test than the Mavs for the Thunder.If the Thunder get past this solid Grizzlies squad and Westbrook pulls his head out of his ass, he will run old ass Kidd off the court. Kidd will have no energy on the offensive side running after Westbrook all day on the defensive side. No one can guard Dirk, but Ibaka will do a good job as an athletic big man in attempting to hold him off on D. And the Finals who knows, just hedge bet at that point.

If they make it past Mem I think they would beat DAL. That said CHI or MIA would probably be too much for them in the finals.Comment -
That's kind of how I feel as well but at +700 now. well worth it cause then you can put a few units on Miami/Chicago and end up with a profit either wayComment -
I wouldn't even take em at 10-1. Questionable decisions on offense at times and give up too many points in transition, Gl playing like that against the heatComment -
That being said they have a ton of talent and have one of the best young rosters to build upon. They will only get better and will be a contender for years to comeComment -
I would have a hard time taking it if it was for them to get to the finals as Dallas or the Lakers would take them out. But not only do they have to get to the finals, but also win it?? It's just not worth it...Comment -
The Thunder are actually one of my favourite teams to see play because they're exciting to watch. That being said, I feel like you're not giving Dallas enough respect here. If the Grizzlies were able to force bad shot selection and fluster the Thunder like they did in Game 1, then the Dallas defense can absolutely do the same and more.Comment
