Cleveland won 1 more game than the Raptors this season - and Toronto won the season series between them - and the current series price is CLE -1500 (thegreek).
That may have sounded like I was setting up to dispute that line but nope. Sounds about right to me.
It's actually been kind of funny around here. CBS put out a poll a little while back about who would win the NBA. It listed the three teams in the conference finals and "other."
Some people around here have been trying to contrive a severely put-out and disrespected posture about the whole thing. We'll teach you a lesson for calling us other!
They are ignoring the fact that it wasn't aimed at the Raptors at all; the poll was put out before the Raptors/Miami series was over. But whatever, people want to be outraged and offended.
Which would be fine but if your team actually played better than other. As it is, the term "other" is kind of flattering to the Raptors.
8 pm start tonight. Very interesting series. OKC catching fire at the right time and swinging homecourt advantage in their favor - against the greatest team of all time.
