NBA Championship Futures, still value?

Damn I'm really liking Chicago as a Dark Horse. I may put $10 on them just in case.

Good luck, no shot of course but maybe Derrick Rose could make it interesting.

When was the last time a team whose best player is a rookie won the NBA Finals?You are throwing money away betting on the Bulls. The Heat at 50-1 has much better value. Wade already carried one team to a Championship and he has only gotten better. Beasley has been playing a lot better and Chalmers is a stud.

Hey maybe they take somebody 7 games again but I just don't see them as long for the playoffs, I predict they win 2 games or less.

Going with my fav two Dallas & Houston

james4512 · 04-15-09, 04:27 PM

how can u not love the lakers? I'll take the +25 to the bank

Bill Dozer · 04-15-09, 08:09 PM

Atlanta is a nice pick at that price. They were a few buckets away from taking out Boston last year. Portland, Chicago and SA way under valued. If you play series prices and double up each you would have to be in better shape right?

csimmalavong · 04-15-09, 08:16 PM

lol no way atlanta wins the championship.
the pistons have a better shot ! dallas too

roadwarrior1 · 04-15-09, 08:27 PM

Just throw 10.00 on LA and CLE and forget about it.............one will win.

Sorry, T,

C's have won the title like once without homecourt advantage.

They're banged up. You don't know how much you're going to get from KG.

Celts are not going to repeat...

Do you honestly give the Pistons a shot against Cleveland?

Cleveland is 39-2 at home this year.

Pistons have no shot (unless LeBron gets hurt)...

I think there's a LOT of truth in your post!

dennisback · 04-15-09, 11:55 PM

Pistons can win vs Cle!! Cle even lost to low Sixers @ home

though they were b2b and resting star player brand AND having L6 streak with ugly losses. Pistons to win 1st Round BIG

sweetjones55 · 04-16-09, 12:16 AM

How do the 76ers beat the Clevelenda Back Ups by 1 yet they win @ Lakers and @ Portland?

ummm...did you miss that part about about Cleveland sitting/resting
Mo Williams, LeBron James, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Joe Smith Wednesday night against Philadelphia to rest for the playoffs.

I WANT ALL THAT YOU'LL MAKE BOOK FOR!!!!!!!!

Now, don't be shy...step right up and back those Pistons!

Sammy, you think the Hornets are making it to the finals?

sweetjones55 · 04-16-09, 08:49 AM

Boston officially has zero chance. Kevin Garnett will miss the entire playoffs.

BestPlay2day · 04-16-09, 09:12 AM

Good value on the Magic at +1500. They have a chance at least out of the bigger moneylines.

dennisback · 04-16-09, 09:33 AM

hm philly has +17500 @ pinnacle odds i think thats value they beat CLEVELAND in ohio (best east team) WITHOUT best player elton brand and allen iverson. and beat LAKERS in LA (best west team). backing philly medium

and pistons +2700 to upset cleveland is great !
pistons made eastern finals 6 straight times ! cleveland only once i think, AND they never won championship piston won in 2004.
If there is a spread bet for games won im taking pistons +2.5 BIG.

sweetjones55 · 04-16-09, 10:04 AM

The Magic just gained a lot of value in my book as Orlando now should have a much easier time with Boston and Cleveland being the only team to really test them.

csimmalavong · 04-16-09, 01:00 PM

the winner of dallas/spurs will get the the west conf finals imo

dennisback · 04-16-09, 02:41 PM

dallas will lose to denver if they win series vs. sa...

Agree. If you could get the same line after Rivers suggesting KG is out, it's a good buy. I do think Rivers is the slipperiest guy in the NBA and I wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to set up a Willis Reed moment or and escape route if the Celts lose with a severely hindered KG.
