Bill Simmons breaks down the East

Great article from Bill Simmons on the NBA's Eastern Conference.

Breaks it down team by team in what he describes as the "worst conference in history".

Just read this. Fantastically funny as always. Can anyone believe Gilbert Arenas' home/away scoring averages?

Home 35 pg

Away 18 pg

Looking at the East, there is no team who can legitimately threaten for the title without a trade. That said, tabsports are offering the following odds for the title:

Spurs $4.50
Dallas $7.50
Phoenix $7.50

Also, Orlando are currently at $15 to win the East.

I'm getting on Spurs AND Dallas for the title, and a pineapple on Orlando seems a good bet to me.

No love for Utah? Or the Warriors?

Check out the result for Utah vs San Antonio today...

Dallas is a better bet than the Spurs IMO. 10 game winning streak too.

Agreed on Dallas, but Utah are a Boozer injury away from being terrible. The guy is putting up All-Nba numbers at the moment, but in a 7 game series against the Spurs, Duncan would destroy him and the Jazz with him. Still, the Jazz at $8 to win the West and $17 for the 'Ship - not bad.

Basically, I think it's pointless betting on any team to win just the West. If they win the West, they win the 'Ship.
