Try educating Cavalier fans on how odds work. Last year, the Cavs were 6-1 favorites to beat the Magic. Yet people somehow think that the Magic were a better team than the Cavs.
On paper the Cavs were better..period. Sometimes upsets happen.

You're right, Vegas decides who is better...not the teams on the playing field.Footwedge wrote:

Just like when Ohio State beat Florida in 2007, like when Miami beat Ohio State in 2003, like when USC beat Texas in 2006, and like when the Lakers beat the Celtcis in 2008. The oddsmakers ALWAYS know who is better. More consistent than fucking gravity...
