AW's Race to 3.5 K

[ArbitraryWater]

So, AW saw an opportunity earlier in the season on a bet that seemed opportunistic.

The winner of the Atlantic Division.

Bookies seemed to think the Sixers were almost a lock to win it, giving less than stake back, and the Celtics were at 3.5.

AW thought there's no way thats right, the Celtics are leading at the moment and I don't see why they would finish behind Philadelphia.

I'm putting 1000 on them!

Little did I consider the Raptors, who by now leapfrogged both, are a game ahead of Boston, and also slight bookies favorites ahead of them. Sixers are pretty much out.

Lets keep track of the Celtics/Raptors 2nd seed/Division win race together.

Celtics: 38-16
Raptors: 40-15

Celtics lead tiebreaker 2-1 AT THE MOMENT.
