    Statistically you need to be in the top 10 of both offense and defense to win the title.

    Period

    Phoenix
    Memphis
    Boston
    Miami

    No others are going to win it

    There's A LOT of teams with a shot this year: Suns, Grizz, Mavs, Warriors (if Steph is healthy), Bucks, Sixers, Nets, Celtics, maybe even the Heat!


    Edit: I personally think we get a rematch of last year's finals and Suns take it this time. Unless of course CP3 suffers his annual May injury.

    That's what you call a "significantly significant" statistic
    There’s still going to be outliers. But let’s say one of those 4 win which could happen. How do you make money off it. It’s easy to call 4 teams and say they are going to win the title but what’s your return? If you flat bet all 4 you are losing money if the suns win it all. So you would have to increase your costs there minimizing your return.
    I don’t know I just think there’s not much return in calling out 4 teams.
    Again this isn’t saying one of the 4 couldn’t win because it definitely can just pointing out my observations and wanted to hear your strategy on how you can successfully get a good return

    There are 30 teams in the NBA, half of 30 is 15, 6 is not half the field.

    Each of the last 10 years, the NBA title was won by teams in both to 10 of defense and offense

    Only those 4 are this year
    Also where are you getting your information from in terms of offensive and defensive rankings? Because I looked quickly around and I see more teams then that in the top 10 that qualify.

    Anyone want to predict how many different prediction threads there will be for this? So far how many? What is the purpose of having 20 different threads of predictions?

    Better than the real world. Why not. Money on the line, people want feedback. The more feedback the better. I came from Covers, if you want to see (mostly useless and square) predictions go there it's on roids.

    I got no problem with it.

    Re: celtics, i think they can win it all, but they most likely got the Nets in the first round.

    By your logic there should be one MLB prediction thread.
    That would make for one pretty long thread.

    There are certain posters here that are auto-fades, I don't want to sift through one singular thread to find the fades.

    Agree the more prediction threads the better. Hopefully with reasoning, which you can fade or follow or ignore.

    This is a posting board, expect posts. Otherwise what's the use of it.

    This is completely wrong.

    If Boston had lost they would have had a worse record than Philly and they would have fallen to the 4th seed.

    Jaylen Brown and Horford aren't vaccinated, and Toronto is just as good as the Nets right now, that would make absolutely no sense.

    You claim to bet the NBA but you frequently get very basic facts wrong.

    It's like you don't want to converse, you just want attention so you can insult posters.

    WTF is wrong with you??? Don't bother answering.

    Another thread derailed by Morono.

    Try and be better, even if just a tiny bit.
