All things being equal; BKN is not your typical 7th seed.  This is more like playing an ECF game.  It’s just happening in opening round this year.

….I wouldn’t breakup either team after a loss.  Disappointment? Yes, of course…

I am loving the fact that this team has no defensive “weak link” on starting five; and on many nights, the Cs have the best player.

Same here. I'm usually an optimist but it all just comes down to the fact that BKN has Kevin Durant.

I just hope after game 1 people don't end up losing all hope lol... Should game 1 be a loss, anyway.

Can someone explain odds to me? What does +250 mean? Or -180? What are you adding 250 or subtracting 180 from?

I think that means your 100 bet will get you 250, on the other hand your 180 bet wins you 100.

Got it. TP!

Just checked again.  The site I use still has Celtics at +250 to win it all and +330 to win the East!  Gotta be a typo, because it looks +800 on Draft Kings and elsewhere.
Yup
