Griffin for PP and Carrol + picks

Doubt that happens. That would be a win for us if Blake is healthy

Not sure if credible...

Seeing Boston being dubbed a contender next year, with no mention of the Raps anywhere ... makes me puke a little in my mouth.

I'm not at all convinced about Boston yet. Especially considering the pieces they've lost.

Where are you seeing this?

The first story did mention the Raptors, and was written before the Sullinger swap.

The second was only about Boston, no mention of the Raptors or Cleveland,.

I'm looking at a Vegas sportsbook and they have Boston 30-1 for the NBA championship and 10-1 to win the East. Raptors are 75-1 and 18-1. Now there is definitely going to be more stupid money (aka homer money) bet on Boston than Toronto, but even so, the gap between us and them isn't much.

Question for anyone who knows shit like this. A gambler can bet on Boston at 10-1 to win the East. Can he bet against Boston in any of the the sportsbooks?

Yes, Doc. Listen, that's a god damn killer lineup. Raps might be even stupider and throw in a Lucas Bebe Noguira to come off the bench for you too. This will be the lineup that will put you over the Warriors.

Get it done DOC!!!!!!

No you won't see bets against teams unless the team is supposed to win. So this year you can find sportsbooks that will take bets against the Warriors by betting "the field", but expect it to be something like 1-2 or 2-3 odds, basically you won't even get your money matched for the bet. In the past when Tiger Woods was killing it every tournament he was in had the option of taking the field.

For a team like Boston the only way anyone would let you bet the field against them would be on odds of you betting $1000 to win $10 or something.

Edit: Just checked Bet365, you can bet "Will Warriors win it all?", Yes/No, and both have same odds of 1.83, which means for every $1 you bet you win $1.83 in total.
