NBA Finals - Series Prices

[PierreFermat]

Pinnacle has Spurs at -457. Anyone know the best line for the Spurs to beat the Cavs in the NBA Finals at a Vegas Sportsbook? I figure I can bet this in person since I am around for WSOP.

i'm loving this cavs line, i think.... i guess cavs are one man team, but i think nba reffing is somewhat suspect and marketing oriented, and they may give HUGE PUSH TO LEBRON

Yeah, I'm a total square on the NBA, but I kinda like the Cavs here too. The Spurs are obviously better, but they've had a relatively easy road thus far in the playoffs, and haven't done anything to prove that they should be this prohibitive of a favorite. I would have guessed a fair line to be somewhere around -300 before the line opened.

One could argue that every team they beat was better than Detroit. Certainly Phoenix was, likely Utah was, and maybe even Denver was.

yeah man ... there is no value in laying -400+ ... no value at all ... either play the lines or dont play anything

Rock-solid analysis.

In my opinion, Lebron is worse than Steve Nash and the Cav's second best player is worse than Amare Stoudamire and Cavs 3-7 are worse than Suns 3-7. I like the Spurs here. I'd make them about -900.

I agree totally. Philly was +2600 v LAL, and that was with the MVP who was having a monster playoffs in AI [better numbers than LBJ in every category but rbs], an AS Center who could slow down Shaq, 6th Man of the Year and a 100x better coach than Mike Brown.

LAL 4-1, altho 2 losses were close.

I think the public is all ZOMG!!! CAVS FTW COS THEY WERE DOWN 2-0 AND BEAT DETROIT!!

and not realizing Duncan will be the best player on the court, as he has been for the past 8 years.

A couple of us were discussing the series last night and I made an even money bet of Spurs winning in 4 or 5 games and he has the rest of the possible outcomes. Who do you think got the better of this bet?
