Plus you're all forgetting about HAYWARD coming back.
Holy strawmen. Yes, Bos is live, yes, Tor is live, yes they both have >0% chance, but Cle is still the massive favorite. I haven't checked updated lines, but the last time I did, it was:
Vegas lines are closer to something like Cle 50%, Tor 20%, Bos 16%, Was 4%, Mil 4%, Phi 4%, Field 2%.
And yes, I agree, that if Hayward can somehow come back and be >80% by the playoffs, then Bos will be a bigger threat than Tor. Just unlikely that that happens, although I've seen video of him shooting, and I know that the HAYWATCH is on.
I'm actually rooting for that to happen, because I want to see some drama in the East, and see if GoZ will finally be wrong, or if it's just another year of "There will be a new King of the East!" that doesn't happen.
