When you look into it, you will realize that with +250 / +350 it means that bookie believe they have just about 20% chance of winning the championship. Lets say these 20% didnt hit, then it doesnt make you a disaster of a team.
People think its easy to win the championship and Heat are horrible if they dont.

No I'm not reading what you are saying because it doesn't make sense. If you are simply saying it's not easy to win an NBA title I agree with you because only a handful of teams have a legit chance. Not sure where you are getting +250 or +350 as someone else mentioned coming into they playoffs they were even money to win the title and the heavy favorites. Maybe you are talking preseason? Still those are the worst odds of any other NBA team making them the favorites. I don't think are horrible if they don't win a title but other people rag on them when they come up short because odds wise they have been the favorite since bron has arrived.
