What would be your sleeper pick for the NBA Champ?

Has a #1 seed (without a major injury) ever been 18/1?

Pacers

Bulls at 20-1. They play good defense and this is Rose's chance at redemption. They could beat the Cavs but would need luck against the West. Atlanta might lose in the first round, pretenders of the East.

Lebron will get hurt in playoffs and will be out and Cavs will lose

FACT

Sleeper pics: Grizzlies and Bulls

Ive been on Clippers all year... I think they are +1500 or so...

seaborneq · 04-14-15, 10:09 PM

how about just a sleeper pick to win a series that is not a 4-5 matchup? That would be more realistic and more profitable.

Pacers (8) vs. Bulls (3) ECF

Teams with no experience don't just win NBA championships out of nowhere. This isn't MLB. Any team that has no postseason experience has zero chance of winning it all. Zero.

I would go with either:

- new jersey nets
- vancouver grizzlies
- Washington bullets

Experience is overrated.

The Celtics have no chance in hell but its not b/c of a lack of experience. Its because they are just an awful basketball team with no talent whatsoever.

23-12 in last 35 is awful?
Hahaha haha what a joke

thetrinity · 04-15-15, 07:22 AM

spurs repeat ez game

DaveMd · 04-15-15, 09:43 AM

I think I'll go with the Bulls at 14-1, especially if they finish in third. They don't matchup as well with the Wizards.

DaveMd · 04-16-15, 09:51 AM

Bulls are now 12-1, but Atlanta at 12-1 might be a better bet.

Didn't look so easy in Game 1.

Really? Then please tell me the last team with no playoff experience to win an NBA title or even a Conference title. I'll be waiting

Sleepers need not apply; it's the Cavs or the Spurs. Anything else is burning money.

what a square; your burned Spurs money will soon be accompanied by your burned Cavs money.

Agreed, and as a fan of an Eastern Conference team currently winning its 2nd round series, I gotta tell you even if the Cavs made it to ECF, LeBron doesn't scare me nearly as much as he used to. As in not really at all. Maybe I'm on one but I have a feeling this perception of his stranglehold over the NBA head and shoulders over the rest is really done after this year.
