The bookies this year have the Cav’s as clear cut favourites to break the drought and win that all elusive title. It’s certainly about time that the team, LeBron and the patient fans of Cleveland were awarded with the ultimate prize in basketball. They are around $2.50 to lift the trophy and that might be good value. LeBron has been simply awesome this year and it finally appears that he has a team around him that are strong enough to win the title. It isn’t a team of big names but it’s a team that knows how LeBron plays and knows how to exploit that advantage.

Basketball betting in Canada

Basketball is by no means the national sport of Canada. Nothing will ever come close to hockey for most Canadians, but we do love a game of hoops especially if there is nothing happening on the ice. We’re all just waiting for the Toronto Raptors grow some teeth and do for the game what the Blue Jays did for baseball in Canada.

Basketball is much loved because it is easy to play and anyone can go and find a hoop to have a bit of fun. The rules are basic and it’s a great leisure sport that will keep you coordinated and fit – even President Obama plays!

Canadian Basketball fans have waited too long for a competitive basketball team. Is this year the year?

You would have to be living in the Jurassic period if you thought the Raptors Franchise had been a success up until now. Average teams, average lists and average support is about all you could say about them. Some would argue that these were kind words. You need a decent list to have a decent team and then you build the support and the following from there. Basketball can work in Canada but the product has to be good.
