How else to explain that despite being down 2-0 in their Eastern Conference semifinal, the Sixers still have better odds (12-1) of winning the NBA championship than the C's (25-1).

Those are the odds according to Bovada, which also has Philadelphia with better odds than Boston to knock off LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers and win the East in the next series despite their current 0-2 hole. The Cavs lead the Toronto Raptors in their East semifinal, 2-0.

The Sixers' odds are 3-1 to win the East, the Celtics' are 4-1. The Cavs are 10-13 favorites to repeat as East champs. So, if the Celtics thought they were underdogs BEFORE the series...
