    Why are the Heat still the favorites to win the NBA Championship?
    At Matchbook

    Heat +171 to win
    -176 to lose

    Lakers +276 to win
    -290 to lose

    Is it that the West has better competition than the East? Or do people really think the Heat are better then the Lakers?

        the heat are team with the 3 superstars thats why

        also the heat will get better and better with every game

        and a team can beat them in one game during the regular season but we'll have to wait and seat if they can be beat 4 times in a best of 7 series

          Its because the Heat are more likely to make it to the Finals. If the Heat play the Lakers in the finals, the Lakers will be favored.

              Wish I had a lot of money instead of still being in college. Would put insane money on Heat to lose.

              Lakers gonna take down the Celtics once again.

                    Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Artest, Fisher, Bynum (when healthy), Blake, Brown, Barnes and of course, Phil Jackson.

                    Lakers are EASILY the better team and Miami will get out-coached as well.

                      Riley will take over in the playoffs like the bitch that he is

                        The Big 2 featuring Chris Bosh is weak compared to the Lakers, that's really what it comes down to.

                          Lakers are obviously better and you have to have a deep bench in the playoffs to win anything, which the Heat do not. Heat are still the fav because casual fan knows all the hype and will take them over anybody.

                            I wonder if Bosh will get better, because right now he is a joke!

                              Pat Riley sees exactly what we are seeing right now with the heat. They need another solid piece on the interior and he will make that move trust me. Also Mike Miller is underrated and hasn't plalyed a game yet, he does the dirty work
