Who besides the Cavs, Spurs, and Rockets are capable of winning an NBA Title ????

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Rockets aren't winning any title; OKC has a shot.

[Git Lo]

Suns and Twolves are legit sleepers, not to win a title or anything but to cause problems

[DOM-Ganador]

Clips . WAY the F`k more than Houston.
The big news regarding D.Howard this summer is his weight training.
How about working on your low post game ( McHale in da house??) and free throws???
Nah, lets just bench 400 and impregnate another couple broads.
The only chance he will ever win a title is as a bench player when he is 40 and broke.

[Romerowned]

I took the cavs to win it all at +400. Can't get those odds anymore though.

[tony_come]

Again too early

[BigDofBA]

Rockets? Lol

Harden will disappear in the playoffs like he has he last three years.

Bulls would have decent value IMO

What about the Clippers?

[klemopixx]

Durant out 6-8 weeks with a fractured foot. Does this any bearing on this team? Might cost them home court in the playoffs but the playoffs are a long way off. Plus its his free agent year, does he go all out for a team that he's not signing with anyway? I think this takes the Thunder out of the title equation

[jjgold]

Basically kills Oklahoma City's chances now

Homecourt is extremely important in the playoffs as far as the NBA

[upscope]

Portland maybe?

Golden State?

Oklahoma City?

maybe take a stab with the Bulls or Wizards?

i want to make a futures bet just to keep the NBA interesting... i normally can't get into pro basketball but maybe i could if i had a horse in the race.

whats the best value?

If u want some action on NBA just to keep it interesting then bet season long totals rather than championship. With totals you basically have action every night without risking much. Take Heat over 44, Nets over 41.5 & Wizz under 50 & enjoy the season.

But yea, if it has to be championship then:

East:

Cle 40%
Chi 30%
Tor 15%
field 15%

West:

SA: 40%
OKC: 25%
LAC: 20%
Hou: 6%
GST: 4%
Dal: 3%
Field: 2%

[BigDofBA]

Westbrook missed over 30 games last year and OKC didn't get home court by like 1 game.

KD won't be out that long. It's not as big as you think.

[daonlyplaya]

Cavs might not have the top seed at the end of the season, but i'd take them over any other team in the east to be in the finals.

[jjgold]

Barring any injuries I will take Chicago Bulls to win the NBA championship

[Big Bear]

Barring any injuries I will take Chicago Bulls to win the NBA championship

hopefully Rose and Noah can stay healthy.

[chachi]

Yep ... therein lies the either value or sucker play in betting Bulls

[Smoke]

Warriors

[bigtymer56]

Westbrook missed over 30 games last year and OKC didn't get home court by like 1 game.

KD won't be out that long. It's not as big as you think.

He's gonna end missing what like 20 games? No big deal, instead winning 60+ theyll just win 55 again.

[rm18]

They are an average team in the West without Durant the West is very strong. This could be an 0-5 start.

Well its a good thing for them the season doesn't end in November.

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Don't jinx my Spurs bet.

I am from San Antonio buddy. I would do nothing to jinx the Spurs I have been a loyal fan since George Gervin The Ice Man ABA days!

[jsmithj88]

people are definately underrating dallas

[jz833]

OKC at +600 don't get better then that.

[STAX]

OKC at +600 don't get better then that.

I think that is a very good bet!!! Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Cavs, Bulls... those 5 95%, field 5%

[jz833]

Same teams I would go with think have the best chance. I think my rockets can come down too, Harden and Howard can be real good together.

I have yet to play futures. But I am really considering putting down some change on okc. Good thing is I can hedge if I don't feel good about them come playoffs.

Golden State only has a 4% chance?

even with an upgrade on defense with Aaron Craft?

[LtDarsh]

Blazers

[teejay]

Hard to see anyone but the Cavs or Bulls emerging from the East. The West is a lot more wide open.

Agree with others, Bulls if they can stay healthy they are a real chance.

Compared to last season they've added some nice pieces, I got some bets down on them when they were paying 11/1 so I'm hoping they take it.

[k13]

Lol those teams are not the favorites it is OKC, Bulls, and Pelicans. Rockets have nobody except Ariza, Harden and Howard to fill out the roster and Cavs can't guard anyone. Spurs probably too old and Patty Mills hurt.

How many years have you said pelicans now? ?
They won't do shit.

Cavs will rape the east..

[rm18]

Lol this is only the 2nd year the Pelicans existed they would of been close last year if healthier.

[k13]

You can have west -110 vs any east team.. ..

[Thor4140]

Sixers they look strong this year. Kinda like an odor strong.

[bigtymer56]

Lol this is only the 2nd year the Pelicans existed they would of been close last year if healthier.

So the 20+ years they were the hornets doesnt count?

[phillyd]

People are sleeping on the Mavs...

[krk1030]

brooklyn is sleeper


way under the radar, top players healthy, added guys from overseas thst will be better than paul pierce was
