Orlando +1300 to win NBA Championship?
Seen some people talking about the Magic beating the Cavs, but nothing about their chances to win it all. I think this team has a decent shot at winning the championship. With Redick finally showing up, if Rashard Evans plays like Rashard Evans and not Yinka Dare, they could upset Cleveland and whoever comes out of the West.

Cleveland has been ridiculous at home, though.

Thoughts?

lol I think people are saying the Magic will win a game vs the Cavs, and I don't even think that will happen. So many blown leads vs the Celtics, and now they get to play against a real team. (But if you really want to you could take them at +560 for the series and they should be at least 2:1 if they make it past cleveland for a higher payout).

Cavs have Anderson Silva at PF who brings a lot of energy and toughness which counters the Magics Rashad Evans

But yea seriously Im liking Magic to get to the finals... I dont think they could beat either the Lakers or Nuggets tho, but at +1300 a small shot is worth it

before the playoffs started I played the Magic to win the east at +500.

LMAO that I can actually get better odds now in the series vs. the Cavs.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

i dont think this is a good bet....they were lucky to get past Boston and let a lot of games slip out of their hands.

Not a good sign in a series vs the Cavs

I would have hedged my play somewhat, but not if I have to lay over 600 with the Cavs. Makes no sense. So I root for a result other than what seems to be the inevitable (i.e. LeBron vs. Kobe).
