Warriors Already Underdogs For 2015-2016 NBA Title

OAKLAND (CBS SF) - The Warriors hadn't even completed their epic run to the 2014-2015 NBA Title run before some oddsmaker in Las Vegas slapped the 2014-2015 favorite label on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Warriors completed their six-game victory Tuesday in Cleveland by winning the final three games of the series over the Cavaliers. But before Stephen Curry and company could Hoist the trophy, the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook set odds on the Cavaliers winning it all next year, reports the Las Vegas Sun.

The sports book has the Warriors, and the Oaklahoma City Thunder, as five to one to win it all. The favored Cavaliers will only win you $2.25 on a $1 bet.

Still, the Warriors are getting more respect than last offseason, when LeBron and company were favored and Golden State was 25-1 to win the title. How many people wish they made that bet?

The Warriors probably won't be concerned with those odds as they riors-return-nba-finals-homecoming-arrival-oakland-parade-information-nba-world-champions/" target="_blank">return home victorious Wednesday to prepare for Friday's parade.
