    Ask Kwame! He might get you better odds.

    The just swept a Division winner. Has that ever happened before in the history of the NBA? Don't underestimate the power of Pierce.

    I'd say jump on it before this Love stuff sinks in. btw: What was it before the Love injury?

    LOL I knew this was coming...

    The playoffs have been much better to me than the regular season.

    I have a friend who is English and I typically wire him money and use his "legal" sports betting account. They have great sites in the UK for sports betting, odds on everything under the sun you can imagine.

    But there are sites like 5Dimes you can use.

    well, the Memphis could do the same with Portland today (sweeping a division winner). but I dont see Memphis winning the western conference.

    and that happens when the division leader, should be a lower seed.

    Good correction.

    I guess what I mean is sweeping a first round HCA team. Has an HCA team ever lost every game in the first round?

    For the record, notice I didn't say any HCA team in any series, because we know the Rockets did that to Shaq and Anfernee in '95...the away team won all 4 games.

    What's your definition of a sucker bet? Do you even consider odds, spread, points, etc?

    The Bulls swept the Heat in 2007. Not only did the Heat win their division--they were defending champs.

    Absolutely, I just don't see the Wiz making it to the ECF. I still think the Cavs are the best team even with Love's injury. I guess we'll see.

    You will find the answer within this gif. If you watch it long enough, you will know.

    Thanks for the feedback, because I'm probably going to take this bet. I need someone to talk me out of it.

    Hope ya'll got the action.

    Already looking like a possibility. One more injury to the winner of Bulls-Cavs and this bet may end up paying off afterall.
