[Johno6]

can someone post up the series winners odds?

[Grahaml]

Well, I did say earlier this season loomed as one of the most boring in a long time and largely it was. Other than the Lakers constant issues and Miami's streak you had to scrape the barrel for headlines and we ended up with most things exactly as we expected. Miami dominant in the East, OKC and SAS battling for the top spot in the West. Even the placings after that were reasonably predictable for both conferences with perhaps Denver being the sole exception. Even the round 1 matchups look like they're largely one sided.

When Kobe went down I actually made the comment to someone that it was probably LA's best chance. I expect they'll suffer and be less without him, but with him they were in a battle for 8th all season and there wasn't anything to suggest playoffs would be any different. However, now that he's gone LA will have to change. Usually that's going to hinder more than help, but it'll force them to play through Gasol and Howard a lot more and that, IMHO, gives them just a remote chance.

Knicks $1.25
Celtics $3.66

Nuggets $1.20
Warriors $4.20

Pacers $1.25

Clippers $1.55

Thunder $1.04
Rockets $10.00

[Johno6]

lol @ Heat odds

[Grahaml]

lol @ Heat odds

Still overs.

[Grahaml]

Warriors look the best value to me. Still think Denver will win, but I give Golden State a big chance, certainly better than $4.20.
