Wasn't it something like 60 to 1 before the playoffs started, or something crazy like that? I can't seem to find the old odds just the new ones.. Before Harden got hurt after we beat the Lakers I know now it was 8 to 1. If it was ever 10 to 1 or higher, I would have thought the Suns would not have been a bad bet at all. Not just because how good the Suns really are but all of the injuries.
The lakers and Nets for instance were hurt all year, why did the odds makers just assume that they would be healthy throughout the playoffs? I would have thought the odds were 50/50 that there would be injuries on both the Lakers and the Nets and that has happened. The clippers choked last year along with the Bucks.. The Suns have played well with the Jazz and they have had their own injuries. The 76er's haven't really proven anything, are in the weaker East and rely one one player for most of their success who is now injured. I'm not really a gambler but I just find the odds really strange.. I would give the suns 1/3 odds to win it after we beat the lakers and before Harden got hurt and 1/5 before we played the lakers but with the Nets potentially having some injury down the road.. didn't expect it to be in the 1st minute of their game though!
