Couple interesting notes: 

  • Chicago slips a bit considering the number of things that went wrong for them this season and them still having the No.1 seed. 
  • New York is behind the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic facing the prospect of trading Dwight Howard, and Memphis Grizzlies. That says a lot. 
  • The Pistons have the same odds as the Bobcats. That's a little odd. 
  • The Lakers and Spurs at the same level is also of note, considering their season in comparison. 
  • The Mavericks hanging up there has to be contingent on the Deron Williams question.
  • Speaking of, the Nets are 100/1. Again, we ask, why is everyone angling to go there?
