Those are good odds for the Spurs.

I'd bet on them...

I really like what the Spurs have done with their off season moves. Richard Jefferson is a very nice addition to a strong team. I’m sure they will get back one of the guys they just traded and will probably sign another impact FA. I’m impressed with their composition and personnel and believe they can contend with anybody in the West.

This List Is

pretty pointless. The off season just started and the Rosters could be much different if the Cavs or Lakers add Artest, the C’s or Spurs add Sheed or any other number of free agents .

Head to Vegas now and put some $$$ on the Celtics

If our odds are 5/1 before any free agent signing, by the weekend the odds
could improve to 3/1 with a significant signing.

Why the Cavs?

Is this because of the addition of Shaq or because they are assuming RWallace will sign with the Cavs? No Sheed, no Championship

In my opinio, whomever gets RWallace -between the Cs, Cavs, Spurs, LAL – will win the championship.

yea

Wish you could trade these like options and you could sell them on the market once the odds improved.

pointless

at this point, predicting odds is pointless. I still don’t think Boston should be that far behind LA and the Cavs for a title. LA didn’t make an improvement and Shaq doesn’t do that much for CLE.

Boston would have won the title if healthy so those are some soon-to-be poorer bookies taking those odds against the C’s.
