Nets 500 to 1.  "So you're saying we have a chance!"

Yup. A chance of having the Celtics own your draft pick next year.

to be honest, I would have the Clippers and Toronto ahead of us still.

Are these the odds from Vegas? I have more faith in them then the media pundits.

I'm guessing the Spurs odds changed some yesterday.  I'd still have them up there, but at a little more than 9 - 1.  

Clippers are being sold short here.  If I was a gambling man, I'd lay a little out on them at 25 - 1.

"IF I was a gambling man?"  Do you ever step on a golf course without setting up a wager somehow?  Something tells me you are a gambling man NYC.

Shamrock,

Here is the thread about the Vegas odds. BobC agrees with you re: Vegas odds vs. Pundits prognostication.

I'm most surprised by the long odds on Indiana.

They're not so long. Indiana has the ninth best odds in the league out of 30 teams and is rated fifth in the East. Maybe they go up a notch or two to third or fourth in the East by season's end.

I could see them finishing 2nd in the East.
