    It's about right, unless this includes Yao not being on team. If Yao with the Rockets in the playoff run.

    at least, 9 to 1...............

    If Sacramento doesn't blow up their team I can't see how they're 100:1... they beat many top WC teams this year when they were healthy.

    won't matter, the refs control this and will make sure they stay @ 100-1

    these are stupid odds, they can not possibly have a mathematical way of calculating the odds of us winning a championship, no one can determine future health, or random trades. if i was a betting man sure i would bet on a team like the lakers, celtics, more than likely the spurs since they tend to win every other frickin year. odds we will win are 1 in 1...but i wish the odds were 100 - 1 so i could make a lot of money off my small wager

    Wow, Lakers have a 50% chance of winning it according to them. Boston has only a 25% chance.

    Last year when those came out Boston had 850000-1 odds of winning.

    im going to see how much the roster changes....

    then im going decide if im going to bet against the Rox again this year...

    probably will need to put up like 15 or 20 bucks just to make 1 buck...

    but Rox not winning the Championships,... has been easy money for me... in the past

    We're tied for the best odds behind LA, Boston, Detroit, & SA...so that's pretty cool.

    No wonder I see Lakers with a 2-1 bet, the article is before the final where true champion shows what they are made of. The team with the predicted highest probability of winning looked like a bunch of loser high schooler. This simply shows how bias these numbers can be.

    Do they announce who's reffing the games in advance lol. Maybe before we put these bets in we should call Donaghy and find out the end results first.
