NBA Basketball Betting: Eastern Conference Teams

[chane]

Several Eastern teams are going to be in the playoffs whether they deserve it or not. Might as well handicap them now.

boston far and above best team

pistons

cavs

i dont even know who else is in the playoffs in the east i would only place bets on those 3 teams in the east at any time got pistons vs nets tonight

[HIMMYS DAD]

them lakers always do good

[LP666]

I would place them like this

8.Atlanta (not because they're seeded 8 but because they're lack of experience)
7.Washington (I think the King will take them to his kingdom)
6.Toronto (they fell apart in the last part of the season)
5.Sixers (they will make a fight but eventually they will lose to the pistons)
4.Orlando (they are pretty cool and there is always a next year for them)
3.Cleveland (they will make everything they can but the King does not have the company he deserves)
2.Pistons (they will make a statement of why they have been the east best team in the last decade)
1.Celtics (this team was the winner of the conference before the season started)

PS: I know that by the date i have seen the outcome of some games but this will be how it ends

I agree with LP666 except I put Orlando 3rd as i think they have a chance against Detroit in the 2nd round.

will detroit make it out of the first round after losing game 1 at home????

Boston has a great team...that Larry Bird can really shoot and that dude that wears 00 looks like Calibus, the deformed half goat demon thing from Clash of the Titans. Jordan and Pippen are tough to beat though. Shaq and Kobe make a hell of a pair as well. But the one thing you can never count out is a Pat Riley coached team...

[JohnPrzytulski]

Utah, SA, NO, LAL, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, and Orlando.

I'm not so sure about the hawks right now because now is an even series who would have know. It's one of the most interesting series to see

[drkneenie]

i have never liked the atanta hawks until this postseason. tonight should make for a great game! i cant believe that boston is favored by 13 1/2 points!!! i jumped all over that bet. i know boston is playing at home and all but atlanta is fired up now and has built a little confidence in themselves. i wouldnt be surprised if atlanta won the series! well, ok, i would be very surprised but its not as impossible as i thought it was 2 weeks ago.

and also, whats up with that?!?! the season ended 2 weeks ago today and they are just now playing game 5 of the first round?!?! its basketball!! the dont need 3 days in between games. so slow moving, these series...
