Odds to win 2010 NBA Championship: After 30 teams played 82 regular season games each, a total of 2,460 games, 16 teams made the playoffs. Three rounds of 7 game series and it was down to two teams for a best of seven series and the Los Angelos Lakers beat the Orlando Magic in 4-1 in just five games winning their 15th NBA Championship. NBA Betting Odds makers at sportsbook Bodog.com have the Orlando Magic 8-1 and Los Angeles Lakers 2-1 betting odds to win the 2010 NBA Championship.
Since the biggest surprise of the 2009 NBA Finals came when the Lakers players were able to ambush coach Phil Jackson and give him the champagne shower he had avoided during his previous title celebrations, it’s easy to understand why this series came up short in the drama and excitement departments. Even though the teams played a couple of overtime games, the Lakers’ five-game triumph was a fitting conclusion to a matchup that lacked the requisite excitement going in.
No one will ever know whether things would have been more interesting had the Cavaliers subdued Orlando in the Eastern finals. It would have been pretty obvious the NBA would have preferred to promote the “KOBE VS. LEBRON” struggle, rather than focusing entirely on Bryant’s “quest for a fourth title,” complete with daily updates on just how much the Laker star “wanted it,” as if there were a device available to measure such desire. By defeating the Magic in five, Los Angeles was able to make a definitive argument as the NBA’s best team. Careful what you wish for NBA, the Cavs traded for Shaquille O’Neal giving them the BIG man in the middle. When asked if Shaq was the missing piece of the puzzle needed, Labron quipped “he’s so big he’s several pieces.” NBA Betting Odds makers at sportsbook Bodog.com have the Cleveland Cavaliers 10-3 betting odds to win the 2010 NBA Championship.
The Eastern Conference only has one other team with a legitimate chance to win the NBA Championship. If the Boston Celtics can get healthy and stay that way at playoff time they have the nucleus to win another. The Celts were primed to rule the East until Kevin Garnett was injured. When Leon Powe went down, their hopes of reaching the conference finals were dashed. Still, Boston pushed Orlando to the limit in the Eastern semis and should return a healthy Garnett, along with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen (I think) for a title run next season. NBA Betting Odds makers at sportsbook Bodog.com have the Boston Celtics 9-2 betting odds to win the 2010 NBA Championship.
The Western Conference revolves around the Lakers and will be strong again as only a few wins separated playoff seeds 2 through 8. But until someone steps up and shuts down the Lakers, it’s their Show! NBA Betting Odds makers at sportsbook Bodog.com have the Denver Nuggets 14-1, Dallas Mavericks 30-1, New Orleans Hornets 38-1, Houston Rockets 30-1, Portland Trailblazers 20-1, San Antonio Spurs 15-2, and Utah Jazz 20-1 betting odds to win the 2010 NBA Championship.
