I Hope They Win But...

The Milwaukee Bucks are my favorite basketball team and they are in the NBA playoffs.
Why, I'm not sure.  Their season record was 38-44, so they really do not belong in the playoffs.  So much for their chance of winning the lottery pick for the NB draft.
However, if LeBron James is struck by lightening, Ray Allen suddenly gets religion and runs away with gang of polygamists to a small town in Utah and starts a harem, Chris Bosh decides to star in a movie with Lindsay Lohan and they have a red hot love scene and Dwyane Wade flips sides because he used to play at Marquette, which is located in Milwaukee, and decides to become a Jesuit priest.
Now, if all that happens, the Bucks have a chance, still not much of won, but at least they have a chance.
The odds from the Las Vegas bookmakers don't give the Bucks much of a chance (1%) of winning the series.
From the Las Vegas Sun:
No. 1 Miami Heat vs. No. 8 Milwaukee Bucks
Series Price: Heat minus-20,000; Bucks plus-7,500
Game One: Heat minus-13.5 (Sunday at 4 p.m.)
What to consider: It’s hard to believe the Heat opened as co-favorites to win the NBA title with the Oklahoma City Thunder last fall. Both teams were plus-250 at the LVH Superbook, but no one’s near Miami anymore. At minus-160 to win another championship, sports books give the Heat better than a 60 percent chance to repeat. They’re also given an astounding 99 percent chance to beat Milwaukee

Hey why not put $10 on the Bucks and you may win a few hundred dollars.
