If you made only one bet prior to the playoffs starting, what would it be? Oklahoma City Thunder to win the NBA Championship (+170): I predicted the Thunder would win it all before the season started and nothing I saw over the last five months has changed my mind. They're young. They're talented. They're healthy. And they're as deep as any team playing in the postseason. They've been working up to this challenge for the last five years and the future is now. OKC's second unit is as good as half the league's starters.
