AGurv Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just some picks that I considered here and then my final pick Heat +220 - Tough not to consider, but IMO I dont think they win. The top of the league hasn't gotten deeper. Odd's aren't very favorable for a full season bet anyway Lakers +750 - Not even close to worth it, i dont even understand this line unless sportsbooks are thinking Dwight is on his way. They got swept out of the playoffs by the Mavs last year. While other teams have improved they have gotten worse. After Kobe, Gasol and Bynum they really dont have much. Really dont understand this line, especially with the shortened season. Bulls +650 - I really feel like they are just one piece away. Boozer should improve this year and they will battle Miami for the #1 seed. Clippers +1800 - Worth considering, but when you think about Vinny Del Negro thats where my consideration stops. Are they really that deep after Jordan and Griffin? Knicks +1800 - Also a pick that might be worth rolling the dice on, but I worry about there PG play. My Pick - OKC Thunder +750 - I dont really love the odds on this one but it's hard for me to not pick this team. With the shortened season they have the youth to not miss a beat. I think the older teams will struggle in certain parts leaving OKC with either the 1 or 2 seed, home court will be big for them. I just hope the Westbrook and Durant dynamic isn't what some of the media think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^Newbie^ Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Re: My Pick to win the NBA Championship Clippers why not ? Look at their back court . Chris Paul , Billups , Mo Williams . These 3 can play D and i like this 3 as they can do assist and scoring too . BG can play like a superman so i'm not worried about that . He'll be pumped up come playoff time . Jordan might be the problem as his free throw shooting is shit . BG is slightly better than him though .
