You're serious?
What's a hobbled out-of-shape Paul George going to do against other players that have been playing all year? I don't think they're doing anything but drumming up fan interest.
Yeah, because I'm sure he's gonna come back 40 pounds overweight, 4 inches shorter, and with a new shooting motion. So he probably won't be effective at all
Obviously they aren't favorites but they are being given comparable odds as teams like the Bucks and Nets when their roster is more or less the team that took what was probably Lebron's best team ever to 7.
Maybe Paul George won't make them better at all. But they've been pretty good lately and when you are talking about astronomical odds, you want high variance teams that are hard to predict. Not teams that you know how good they are or will be more or less.
In other words, a gamble that Paul George returns as good or better as he was last year and you win a couple coin flips is a lot better odds than Brooklyn or Milwaukee getting through 3 best of 7 series.

I also like the Heat. A gamble that Wade and Bosh stay healthy through the playoffs and Whiteside continues his progression and can take on more minutes.

I don't care how great Paul George recovers, you can't get in game shape without playing games.
Players have difficulty with game pace after missing a month of games. He will have missed 85-90% of games by the time he returns, if he even does return this season.
