Championship FUTURES

WaterOlay · #1 02-26-2007, 07:52 PM

Anyone have an opinion on Western or Eastern Conference Championships?

Seems like the 3 from the West are Mavs/Suns With MAYBE Spurs. Mavs are 1:1 and Suns are 9:5 at my book.
Anyone else is probably wasting time.

Eastern Conf. is wide open. Would you want to take a chance on a longshot such as ATL 300 to 1 or Knicks 150 to 1? I would think since this is wide open you really wouldn't want to play a fav here and just gamble with it.

Definitely don't have a clue about NCAAB Championship.

NHL id like the penguins 8:1 and nashville 7:1

I dont think the east is wide open. Its most def. between the wizards and the pistons, and seeing as the pistons will most likley have home court until the finals, I would feel very confident in the Mavs vs Pistons in the finals... and take Mavs in 5.

East..WIZ are pretty bad on the road, and they wont have home court vs DET. Det +200 is pretty good.

wizards havent been doing much lately. toronto has as many wins and 8-2 last 10. Pistons are def the favorite with webber having an impact. Cleveland and Chicago have more wins than the wizards (but also more losses).
miami has injuries but pending wades return whos to say they wont make a run if they make the playoffs?

Yes, the pistons are 15-3 with webber in the lineup. Thats pretty damn impressive.

Hard to bet on any future t only +200 though. I was thinkin more of betting on 07 champions because I figure whoever wins the western conference will win the finals(not totally true though)

atl 300:1.... i mean c'mon man they are 300:1 for a reason

the knicks would be interesting to throw 20 bucks on, but i still think its pretty stupid

who said anything about a 7 game series? Miami wouldnt last that long.

I put some money on the knicks 150:1. They are only 2 games out right now with falling Orlando, questionable Heat, and horrible Nets ahead of them. They could easily make a charge into the playoffs. 7th seed isnt out of the question either.

20 point win against Wizards
1 point loss
11 point loss.

I don't see how there ISNT value here at 150:1 when:
Magic: 30:1
Nets: 22:1
Heat: 9:2

EDIT: It is very possible that the Knicks overtake the 8th seed by this Saturday IMHO.
