    Anybody think the Thunder will win NBA title?

    at +350 some places even better odds worth a shot?

    I think those odds suck.

    I have them as the 4th best team in the NBA. I love my Thunder but we are still too young. Give us 1 or 2 more years. Are three stars are all 23 years old and Ibaka is 21. We are still super young.

    I think San Antonio will win the West and I like the Bulls in the East unless the league decides they want the Heat.

    I can see Heat vs thunder in the finals. I think the heat will beat us again in the playoffs over a series. I wouldn't be surprised if thunder took a sizeable lead like 3 1 then end up losing 4 3 over the course of a 7 game series. Saying that, if my bulls don't get there, I want the thunder to win it all (or whoever is against the heat).
    The way BigD is rolling with his thunder predictions I suggest we all go and place a wager on the spurs to win the west

    I, too would love to see a Thunder/Bulls series, but I agree with Les that the Heat probably get past the Bulls again. The Thunder have become my favorite team from the West and will pull for them to win the title if the Bulls aren't there.

    Heat won't get past the bulls.

    When the bulls have their starting 5 healthy, they will be for the most part unbeatable.

    Thunder has a great shot but I'm sure you make more than +350 if you just parlay every series they play in the playoffs

    Agreed. Once Rose comes back and a few games under his belt theyll take Heat... Love to see Bulls/ OKC final

    The bullshit bulls are our bitches.

    Bulls have zero chance in a 7-game playoff series. Just like last year

    the bulls only look good when they can greatly rebound their opponent. In games when the rebounding is even or they're slightly under the total rebounding mark, their record is below .500 in those games over the past 2 seasons. The Heat know how to beat them by sending an extra player to crash the boards.

    3 of the Heat's starting 5 are in the top 5 for rebounding rate in their respective positions.

    If Westbrook and Durant can play at the level their playing right now in the playoffs then they might have a shot. Problem is if one of them are struggling in the playoffs then chances are slim. The rest of the team can't bring consistent scoring besides Harden.

    Hey, Bulls might not even meet the Heat in the playoffs. I could definitely see the heat losing before the ECF Finals.
    Either way, no Heat championship this year or in the next 5 for that matter.

    lol. You have that the other way around. It's the Bullshit Bulls who are stupid enough to blow their load in the regular season

    bulls will enter the playoffs looking very average and tired, as they looked in last year's post season .. and will likely look even worse entering the playoffs this year with the condensed schedule.

    Bulls lose to the Knicks in the first round. I can see that happening.

    Nope. At +350 not worth it. My opinion.

    Thunder is the best team in the West, but road to final is never granted or easy. Miami, the likely final opponent from the East, will be tough nut to crack, too.

    Still at +350 there could be small value. You can hedge for some guaranteed profit, if Thunder makes it to the finals.

    No. Should have taken the bulls when it was +500. But in the end heat +120 is probably still +ev. They will come around and figure it out

    normally agree with your posts but Thibs is the best coach in the league and he knows what he's doing resting rose and hamilton.

    I would say right now it's a toss up between the Thunder/Spurs, Heat/Bulls. Any of those 4 teams can beat the other 3 teams on any given day. Assuming they're all healthy.

    Dfisher going to OKC has helped them tremendously. Westbrook playing like an MVP since picking up Fisher. He's really had a positive effect on how Westbrook is playing. Wbrook much more composed and under control. Higher quality shots.

    Also OKC is really feeding the big dog down low. They realize for them to win the whole thing, Perkins has to be able to give them some offense. Get the other bigs in trouble. That way they have to lay off Westbrook and Durant they're driving in.

    So I think OKC's getting better and they're doing at the expense of a few W's. It seems like Brooks is willing to lose a few right now to develop certain parts of their game.

    But the Spurs/Heat/Bulls are all amazing talents and they're getting better as well.

    I hope the Mavs miss the playoffs completely.

    I think Thibs is a top 5 coach but Poppa's the best.

    Dude, that is a ton of juice. 5Dimes has +365 and -410 and I'm sure there is even better than that out there.

    gonna be super hard to hang on to harden and ibaka, a tonne of teams will offer harden a big deal. I heard durant say he was willing to take a pay cut to try keep these guys, so hopefully that works out.
