NBA Future Odds Update – NBA Basketball Picks

A look at players listed in the box score from the loss to the Magic shows just three players remaining from the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship runner up team from the 2006-2007 season: Daniel Gibson, Anderson Varejo and that other guy.

And the only starter on rosters from both editions is that other guy.

In the time between the two versions of Cavs, the team has made a lot of moves to find the missing pieces of the Championship puzzle to compliment that other guy – LeBron, and to keep him from testing the free agency waters.

After failing to San Antonio in the finals that year, the Cavs were eliminated by the Celtics in the next post season, and last year they couldn’t get past the Magic.  Orlando has always been a tough team for the Cavs, matchup-wise, and so this recent edition of Cavs was built specifically to overcome that obstacle.

Shaq was brought in to provide a formidable presence in the middle to counter Superman, aka Dwight Howard, and last week the Cavs employed what will be the final piece of the puzzle – someone who gives them another big body, a perimeter game and quality minutes – Antawn Jamison.

No longer is Cleveland seen as a one-star town, as LeBron now shares the stage with Shaq and Jamison.  And many people seem to think the Jamison trade makes the Cavs the favorite to finally win the title.

They are the odds on favorite to win the East at all betting shops, and a short distance in front of the Lakers to win the championship at most others.

NBA Future Odds Update - NBA Basketball Picks

Considering history and current odds (-165, see below), the wager “Cavs to win the East” has no value.  In fact, it flat out sucks.  To do so, they would have to outlast Boston, who already beat them in Cleveland at the start of the season, and Orlando, who they are 1-1 against thus far this year.  But it is the second of those games that is most telling, if you are trying to decide whether or not to lay future odds on Cleveland.

Yesterday, the team that gives them fits, matchup-wise, the Magic, beat them 101-95 on national television, with the newly acquired Jamison.  Is it possible the new chemistry is combustible?  Since Antawn came over, the Cavaliers are 0-3, with one of the losses to a Denver squad that is a possible finals opponent, as the Nuggets just may be the team that dethrones the Lakers.  And the Nuggets played that game WITHOUT Carmelo Anthony, and IN Cleveland!

Regardless of the outcomes, the payoff odds for the Cavs to win the East and/or the Championship just don’t seem like a good investment when weighing the risks.

Despite all the best efforts of GM Danny Ferry, despite all the changing of the guards, forward and center over the past three years, the Cavs are still unlikely to win the Championship again this season.  And quite possibly, lose the LeBron James free agency sweepstakes too.

NBA Odds:

Eastern Conference favorites:
Cavs -165 (wager $165 to win $100)
Magic +400 (wager $100 to win $400
Celtics +450 (wager $100 to win $450)
Hawks +1000 (wager $100 to win $1000)

NBA Championship:
Cavs +220 (wager $100 to win $220)
Lakers +250 (wager $100 to win $250)
Nuggets +800 (wager $100 to win $800)
All other teams at higher than 10-1.

Phoenix $9.99 A beautifully rendered portrait of family and loss, of childhood and manhood by a supremely gifted writer evaluating the sum of his experiences and emerging with a moving work of the highest level. J. D. Dolan was vacationing in Paris when he received a telephone call telling him to fly home immediately. A horrible accident had put his big brother John in a Phoenix burn unit with third degree burns over 90 percent of his body. As a child in 1960s Los Angeles, J. D. shared with John the unspoken bond that exists only between brothers. But as time passed and their excursions together ended, so did their conversation. For reasons known to John alone, they existed with each other only in silence, and now, in what would be their final days together, there would be precious few opportunities to talk. Phoenix is J. D. Dolan's personal reflections on the agonizing weeks spent coming to terms with his brother's fate, and his attempt to bring their relationship into perspective. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Phoenix $14.99 The year is 1947, ten years after the famous zeppelin Hindenburg burst spectacularly into flames while landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey. The cause of the disaster is still a mystery. The airship was a symbol of world peace and German technological prowess and was carrying important American industrialists and high-ranking Nazi officers. The reasons to think the crash was something other than a horrible accident are manifold and contradictory. Birger Lund, a survivor, suspects sabotage. Lund learns that Edmund Boysen, the officer at the controls at the time of the explosion, also survived the disaster and has retreated to his childhood home, an isolated xenophobic island where the politics of Nazi Germany live on. Seeking answers, Lund tracks him there. And there the reader ventures into Boysen’s discovery of the science and wonder of the fabulous dirigible, written with the authority that only one who has lived with the mythic tales of the Hindenburg could understand. For the author, Henning Boëtius, is the son of the only living member of the crew of the Hindenburg– the man who, indeed, was at the controls. In a fast-paced narrative that unfolds against the background of fascist Germany, The Phoenix combines a love story, an exploration of the physics of air travel, and a frightening re-creation of–after the sinking of the Titanic– perhaps the greatest catastrophe of the twentieth century. This is historical fiction at its best. From the Hardcover edition.

The Phoenix Nest $26.78 Following the publication of Tottels Miscellany in 1557, a number of other such miscellanies appeared, few of them important from an artistic point of view. In 1593, however, a stillunidentified gentleman known only by his initials (R.S.) published this relatively slim, wellprinted and welldesigned compilation, which included works by a number of significant poets of the daythose identified are Sir Walter Raleigh, Thomas Lodge, Nicholas Breton, Robert Greene, George Peele, the Earl of Oxford, Sir Edward Dyer, and Thomas Watson. It is almost certain that the Phoenix of the title was Sir Philip Sidney (15541586), to whom the first three elegies in the book are dedicated. This new edition is offered in the belief that such compilationsand particularly compilations of this qualitydeserve to be placed before the modern reading public, which in turn can gain a greater understanding of the development of English verse at a critical period in its history. For it was though such miscellanies as this that a wider public was able to gain access to significant contemporary poetry for the first time, poetry that otherwise circulated only in manuscript amongst a narrow circle of gentlemen.
