this looks like big mismatch ,denver will smoke them

If Denver can play defense like this, they might beat the Heat down. But my money is on Spoelstra. He will find a way to figure out Denver.

Lowest rated finals in last 30 years -800. LOL

**Madison** · 05-27-23, 12:26 PM

Is this like when the announcer says the foul shooter has hit 10? in a row and they inevitably miss. You gentlemen may have single handedly cursed the Heat. I'll take the under -280 if C's win. Maybe I just did the same to the C's?

Agree. And only fave due to home court advantage

**johnnyvegas13** · 05-28-23, 07:54 AM

Early line is out for Celtics nuggets

it’s a pk

**Seattle Slew** · 05-28-23, 09:05 AM

Afre there any series prices out yet for Boston-Denver?

I'd guess Boston -140 due to home court.

Seeing pk but I think that would go to -150 or so Boston after it opens

That would make Boston denver a pk

already out there as a pk

**Snowball** · 05-28-23, 11:03 AM

Boston will be dangerous if they make it

They would feel like a team of destiny.

Boston only at + odds because they still have to win one more game

2004 Idiots were Kevin Millar's "Cowboy up" Red Sox.

Johnny Damon gets credit for labeling his team "Idiots" (tongue in cheek) because they were too stupid to believe they couldn't overcome everything they accomplished that season.

Most think the word 'redux' is of French origin, but in reality it's Latin for 'to revive', 'revisit', or 'restore'.
(in that vein)

Like the 2004 "idiot" Red Sox, the 2023 Celtics were also down 0-3 in a best of seven series.
Ergo, my statement "2004 Idiots redux"

Does this explain my position?

I fully understand this, I was just merely posting what the current betting market is.

Assuming Celts win Gm7, I'll give my estimates for the Den/Bos finals:

*Gm1: Boston -3
*Gm3: Denver -5
*Series: Denver -120

No great math on this. I just think Denver has shown they'll be a tough out. Nuggets have only lost a few games this post-season, and 2 of the 3 were in games where Booker shot the lights out.
