According to BoDog.com:

I know we're bad, but to see us tied with teams like the Clippers makes me nervous, in fact, I just threw up...

Boston had about the same odds last year. Obviously we do not have the pieces to bring in some Superstars right away, but the point is, you never know.

We are a lot better than the teams with us and we will be a playoff team next year, so that automatically shoots us up past almost half those guys. Pay no attention to this, teams can turn it around quickly.

I just thought it was entertaining. I do not advocate betting, and I don't myself often, but a $50 bet on the P's would yield $5,000 from BoDog if they won the whole darn thing.

It would be better to wait and then just bet when we're predicted to only win 25 games. We probably will barely miss the playoffs again but certainly we can win 30 games again.

I find it interesting that the Pacers have 100/1 odds to win the NBA title...and the Hoosiers have 100/1 odds to win the NCAA title. I mean...really? Good times for my teams! I gotta say though, I like the Pacers' odds to win the NBA title much more than I like IU's odds to win the NCAAs.

Well, there is that small fact that there are only 30 teams in the NBA...

That would be why I like the Pacers' odds better.

Man, our odds aren't at least better than the Knicks or Grizzlies? Like someone said, I know we aren't great, but we had a much better season than teams like that.

Those odds are for people who want to bet early - before major transactions. At this time last year, Boston did not have Allen or KG.

I see Bulls are same odds as Phoenix & Dallas - and ahead of teams like Orlando. Someone must think that Del Negro will learn quickly how to coach.
