Um.. what? They have the Rockets tied for 8th best chance in the league to win the title with the Spurs! And y'all thought we were tanking :grin:
I really don't know about this. The Spurs have a way better chance of winning a title than us. We shouldn't be tied like that.
But this isn't just headline biased ESPN, these are the Vegas odds which are usually pretty accurate. This is pretty shocking.
Yeah I saw this last night and had to pause my DVR to make sure I was reading it correctly. from what I remember, we were ahead of mavs and pacers too. And there were 4 teams tied for the 3rd best odds so technically we were higher then 8th. it was actually released from MGM in Vegas so apparently they know something we don't!! I hope they are right!!
No, technically the Rockets are ranked 8th. Just because teams are tied doesn't mean those teams only count as one.
Didn't we just watch the Spurs dismantle the Clippers (granted CP3 was gimpy)? Anyways, if the Rockets can play up to those expectations, I'll be as happy as anybody else here. Just don't see how. I guess Vegas believes in Lin a lot more than many of us here do (and Asik?).
