    I may have to put a $100 down on us.

    Portland Trail Blazers (+15000)

    Let's face it: There isn't a real chance for the teams with 100-1 odds or longer to win it all. But if chaos strikes in Orlando, holding a ticket on one of the longest shots is a nice position, and Portland is the best one to buy.

    The Blazers made a long playoff run in 2019 with a similar roster, making it to the Western Conference finals behind the potent backcourt of Damian Lillardand CJ McCollum. The returning Zach Collins and Jusuf Nurkic will finally support those two, giving Portland arguably the highest upside among the playoff hopefuls.

    Eric, Do you know what happens if I place a wager and the season doesn't happen? Would I/we get reimbursed?

    I'M seriously thinking of doing this, but still don't think the season will happen. IF it happens, I think we have a shot. Something tells me Dame is making sure our boys stay healthy and don't have players drop out like other teams are having, because of positives.

    How many of those teams are better than our healthy team?

    Legit sites will push the bet meaning you get your money back.

    I do not know if 8 games is enough to get Nurk and Zack up to speed. I hope so, but I would feel 10x better with Ariza AND Hood.

    There are 3 preseason games. Also- they must look really good if Stotts is starting them.

    Hey, @Orion Bailey, Sly forgot to tell you that for for another $50 you also get the Bob Barker special. Spay or neuter, whichever offends you least.
