Boston Celtics 07-08 NBA Championship Odds Jump From 100/1 to 5/1
READ MORE:
You may not think the Kevin Garnett deal means the Celtics are instant contenders, but Vegas sure does.

Two days ago the C's had 100/1 odds of winning next season's NBA Title. Today ... 5/1. Maybe they were a little too caught up in Garnett's new number?

Here's the full list of current odds:

7/2 Dallas Mavericks
7/2 Phoenix Suns
4/1 San Antonio Spurs (Chris to lose it in 3 ... 2 ... 1)
5/1 Boston Celtics
11/1 Detroit Pistons
 

12/1 Chicago Bulls
14/1 Cleveland Cavaliers
14/1 Miami Heat
15/1 Houston Rockets
22/1 Denver Nuggets
25/1 Los Angeles Lakers (?)
25/1 Utah Jazz
35/1 Golden State Warriors
38/1 Portland Trailblazers (!)
38/1 Toronto Raptors
40/1 New Jersey Nets
45/1 Los Angeles Clippers
50/1 Washington Wizards
60/1 New Orleans Hornets
60/1 Seattle Supersonics
70/1 New York Knicks
80/1 Milwaukee Bucks
80/1 Sacramento Kings
100/1 Minnesota Timberwolves
100/1 Memphis Grizzlies
100/1 Indiana Pacers
100/1 Atlanta Hawks
100/1 Philadelphia 76ers
100/1 Charlotte Bobcats

What odds do you like best? How on Earth are the Lakers and Jazz at the same level?

I'm gonna have to say that Vegas has lost their mind.

Not that I actually think the Celtics will win it, but I really wish I had put a few bucks down for the hell of it a few days ago.

50/1, if the Celtics get to the championship with the odds being 50/1 casinos will lose a ton of money. They're playing it on the safe side so that they don't lose a ton of money. Say what you want about the Celtics, but they are a legitimate threat to get to the finals, and the risk for the casinos is too much, even if it "brings suckers in"

The Celts still have 4 roster slots open - hard to accurately call any odds without seeing who they get in those last 4 slots.  Here's hoping that some veteran take less money to come play with the new big three!

For the odds I like best... heck it has to be San Antonio.  Both Dallas and Phoenix decided to just sit out the off-season and I think both teams will regret it.  At least Phoenix added a rotation player in Alando Tucker, but he isn't going to put them over the top (at least this year).

 

Edit : Completely forgot about Grant Hill... on second thought I'm clinging onto hope for the Suns.

The only comparable threesomes in the NBA are nash/stoudamire/marion and manu/duncan/parker, and I wouldn't even go as far as to say that they're better.  Suns do have better role players, but they could easily go down in the playoffs before they make it to the finals, like the craziness we saw this year.

Well, I'm glad (and I'm sure everyone else is) to know that you're okay now.
