Did you do your sportsbook Christmas shopping early this year?
Bad news.
Especially if you’re a Warriors fan.
As the NBA season tipped off, the Dubs were 14/1 to win their fourth NBA title in six seasons, according to sportsbetting.ag. They were tabbed as 8/1 odds to appear in the NBA Finals for the sixth consecutive season. The division? The Dubs were 6/1. Their over/under on the number of regular season wins? 43.5.
These numbers had a certain allure, even given the fact that the team lost Klay Thompson for most (if not all) of the season after ACL surgery, and lost Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and DeMarcus Cousins, sadly ever after.
