Interesting. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news/ap/20001026/ap-oddstowin2001nbachampionship.html The Rockets are listed as 80-1, together with the Mavericks. It's strange that the Magic are up at 5-1. That's a bit of a stretch. ------------------ Nederland 2002 Qualifying Campaign (Damn those penalties!!!) Houston Rockets Space Center- Not just another ClutchCity.NET clone. We're that and more!
maybe the Orlando odds are that low cause One team from each conference must make the finals and the Magic are a good chance to win the east, especially in McGrady goes Balastic ------------------ www.NOPostCount.com
Miami at 12-1 may not be a bad bet in a weak Eastern Conference, especially if they get Smith. ------------------ When you make an assumption, you make an ass out of yourself and umption. visit www.swirve.com
The heading is not to make the finals, it's to WIN the finals. Magic @ 5-1 ??? If I gambled, I'd take the Spurs at 8-1. Anyone notice the Nets, Mavs, & Rocks are teams 11 thru 13 (from the bottom)? This list spells Lottery if it turns true. ------------------ GATER
The Clippers are 400-1, that seems generous to me. The Magic seem very high. I guess the McGrady/Hill signings carry a lot of weight in gambling circles. If it were the odds of getting to the Finals, then I might could see having them that high, but winning the championship? I don't think so. ------------------ Houston Sports Board
I considered that, but are they really the top team in the East right now? I seriously don't see it, even if I consider McGrady's awesome play. I would not be surprised with a good record, but I expect them to fold in the first round. Second at most. ------------------ Nederland 2002 ClutchTown.com [This message has been edited by Ace (edited October 26, 2000).]
Don't you have to make the Finals to win it? If your chances of making the Finals are greater, aren't your chances of winning the Finals also greater? I don't think they're saying "assume the Clippers make the Finals, here are their odds of winning it". At least I don't think they are. ------------------ We Want LANGHI!
