Pistons are dangerous +2700 series

[Bill Dozer]

The Cavs are a big public team. Detroit beat contenders all season. Dangerous team when the game means something to them. It's not unrealistic for it to go 6 or 7.

[sweetjones55]

Pistons lose in 5.

[mathdotcom]

dozer

real playoffs in hockey going on right now. do not digress.

[NBA Hero]

they lose series bet when theres no catch

[treece]

Pistons +12 in game one.

[TORONTOBBALL]

pistons are gonna get smoked cavs way to strong for pistons

[SportsTerminator]

The Pistons...dangerous...hahah...someone get the broom...sweep

[d2bets]

Might be worth a shot at that price, but I doubt they win.

[louisvillekid]

i'd like to see it happen, but i don't see it happening.

[dennisback]

hey they could win the series for real. they have just one player different than the last year team (billups), but they still got into east finals and even won @ boston.

[csimmalavong]

pistons can keep close. i like them for game1, might tease it

[peeiempee]

Le Broom gonna bring the Broom

[ZBOIZ]

Pistons plus the points seems like the most logical play and a sprinkle on the moneyline

[ManOfValue]

I was looking at that myself , very experiences team here...

[trumpdown]

Unfortunately Pistons are done just like the city I live in. The whole Billups trade debacle to save cap space in the future completely dismantled their identity.

None of the other starters (RIP, Prince, SHEED) bought in with the trade and having a solid team year after year left them with high ass draft choices, and little youth talent. Maxiel, Stuckey, and Afflalo just haven't stepped up.

I'd put 40 g's on the series to make an EZ g if I had the bankroll, and wouldn't think twice about it. That's how confident I am in their demise to the CAVS.

If the Pistons were playing the Celts w/o Garnett, it would be another story. But Cleveland is 100% right now and Lebron has ALWAYS had it out to utterly obliterate the Pistons. Ben Wallace is injured, and probably will stay injured, but the last two years he only plays well against the Pistons. So, if he plays, it's not good. I'm from near the Palace of Auburn Hills and I love the Pistons. But I don't think there's much for them to win here -- if they got along with Iverson and were playing how they were playing in December -- it would be a totally different story. That said, you never know what a hungry team can do. The Pistons could be hungry. Maybe.

Iverson + Stuckers double penetration with Rasheed was probably one of the most dangerous combinations this year -- when it worked (for a few games, it did). But Pistons can't win without Iverson and with a rookie coach.

But here's to hoping I'm wrong, for my sake =)

[Bill Dozer]

well, keep in mind its a +2700000 series dog here. I'm not crowning them champs. They may mail it in before getting ready to be taken apart in the offseason but maybe there is some pride left in the palace? These are nba champions here right?

[csimmalavong]

if tayshaun can find a way...to somewhat contain tha king

[Vesuvius]

Detroit does have some experience...

[Mac4Lyfe]

Detroit = Detoliet

This series won't go past 5 and a sweep is very possible. Sheed has been non existent playing as far away from the rim as possible. Tayshaun is a shell of his former self and can't draw iron on his shots. Rip looks like he has old legs, he can still shoot but find it harder to get open. This team is offensively challenged. I'd bet mad money that they don't hit 90 in half these games.

[Slim]

Intertops only has them +1400. What a crap book.

What are the Cavs at??

[Mac4Lyfe]

The Greek has for the series...
Detroit Pistons +2200 204 Cleveland Cavaliers -3800

Cav's +175 to win it all.

BetJam has Cav's +150 to win it all.


I have $100 on Cav's at 14 to 1 :-)
Basketball Futures - 2008-09 NBA Championship Title - Odds to win - 1001 Team to win the 2008-09 NBA Championship - CLE Cavaliers +1400

[Bill Dozer]

The Pistons matchup ok. If Prince can deny LJ the ball the old guys have the ability to do some things. Every starter won a championship except Stuckey(?).

Detroit = Detoliet

This series won't go past 5 and a sweep is very possible. Sheed has been non existent playing as far away from the rim as possible.

Bookmaker odds on a sweep are higher than the Pistons winning but thats why its a 27-1 play. You don't get mad if you lose it. You get mad if you don't win it more than once in 27 tries.

[Slim]

What are the Cavs at??

Now its +1600, Cavs are -3333. Most you can bet is $550 to win $16.50. Why even have the odds up there?

[zentiense]

Stuckers nor McDyess have won a championship. McDyess came on-board the year after -- the year Rasheed lost it for them against Robert Horry.

Yeah, they're a big dog that has some value. Worth a sprinkle on some MLs.

[james4512]

i think detroit first half might be the play, lebron hasnt played in nearly a week and i think they might be a little rusty to start the game. the +7 looks good

[Bill Dozer]

That is terrible. Usually it's the base amount the limits are on. I guess they only want to take bets on poor dog prices?

Ah, Thanks Zent. My guess is they have a 20% chance at the series. Lots can happen in the postseason, especially in 7.

[darrell74]

Sheed plays out of his mind
Tayshawn has to swat Lebron's jump shot
Rip has to do his 3 pik curls and exhaust the Cavs
That's how it would be done

But Cavs are due to go deep

Still, +2700. $10 wins $270. Yeah, why not? That's how much I tipped, on a beer and a shot, last night at the bar.

Count me in, I 'm throwing $10 on that.

How about this? Pistons 75-1 to win the East.

[Bread]

I'm all for upsets, but after the misery that the Pistons inflicted on the league during their championship years with that horrible style of play, just getting their uniform out of my seeing you is a good thing.

[betplom]

Pistons +12 in game one.

I like this one myself, I've watched a couple of Pistons/Cavs games this year and Pistons kept with the Cavs until late in the 4th.

This is a no brainer at +12.

[zentiense]

Bread, I'm sorry but I'm dying for another Pistons-Spurs finals. Ratings were low but the quality of ball being played was certainly at its highest in a long time. Get this shotty DWade vs. Dirk crap out of here.

[slacker00]

What are the odds that Lebron has a significant injury at some point during the series? Better than 27-1? That's the type of thing that makes me think.

[Mac4Lyfe]

The Cav's will be up +12 in the 1st quarter...
