Yeah, I saw a comparison somewhere between "market based" predictions and 538. Wildly different, no doubt due to predicting public perception. The goal is to make money, after all.
I have noticed that some of the smarter analysts are starting to board the Mavs train today.
I don't know if I expect our Mavs to beat Boston or MIA, but I'll be pretty surprised if they don't make fairly short work of the Warriors.
