The Raptors and Celtics are due to start their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals series this Thursday, though a Game 1 tip-off time has yet to be announced. (And the players are potentially discussing a boycott, though that’s a topic for a different post.) With that energy in the air, it feels like a good time to check in with that maniac man, Jimmy Shapiro, and his relentless odds machine.
Since I was somehow added to Bet Online’s mailing list, we’ll use those odds as a reference (also, we’ll use them because I like what they say).
