    even if Dwight Howard was playing, Bulls -3 would be a good play

    but yes, he's suspended

    I was looking at this spread and thinking why is CHI only -3 with no Howard???

    Then I realize this game means very little now for Chicago and that the Magic have played well without Howard before.

    BOL!

    If you're skeptical, cut your usual amount by half and go ML. Yes? Are Magic going to win SU?

    Bulls (-2.5) for me. They are hungry for the best record in the NBA and win #60. Clicking on all cylinders right now.

    I like Magic Spread and ML as well. Bulls won last two matchups home and road. Magic will come out with some intensity and there shooters will spread the floor. This is a lot bigger game for Magic just from a confidence standpoint. They will want this game more and give maximum effort. Should be a great game.

    the problem is that Orlando really has no guys that can get their own shot



    their offense mostly works from teams having to double howard, leaving space open for 3point shooters


    the bulls have the best 3 point defense in the league. Without having to double Howard, they will be able to really suffocate Orlando's shooters


    I would be shocked if this game is decided by less than 15

    I wouldn't take magic +14 right now



    when will you people learn to stop betting against the bulls??


    this team has been a covering machine against elite teams going something like 10-3 ATS vs ORL, ATL, BOS and MIAMI

    Anyone think the line will get driven up to Bulls -4.5? Sounds like everyone is going to be on the Bulls.

    Your right they dont have anyone that can create there own shot like Rose. Jameer is probably closest one with that ability. I do agree with that part of your statement.

    So what do you think the Magic will do without Howard in there? Fold? Not be in Sync? Lost without there superstar? My guess is they will try to develop a game plan without him in it. Will there offense struggle without him in the lineup? I actually think they may be better offensively without him because they will actually have to run a real offense. The part of the game they will miss him the most in is defense. If the Bulls win this game it will be on inside with Boozer. I think the Magic will want them to take jumpshots, so they can get out on the break on long rebounds. The Magic actually thrive off of transition pull up 3's. That is where they kill teams getting open 3's on the break with J-Rich, Jameer and Turk.

    Also, this is a double revenge game for Magic and first time they have been a home dog this entire season. So how many points is Howard worth? What would line be with Howard in line up? Bulls -1? The Magic will be motivated for this game and that is usually one of there biggest problems IMO. Don't you have to wonder where the Bulls heads are at after clinching the #1 seed? Think they will come out sharp and focused? I don't think there is anyway Bulls beat them by 15, seems like you would have to be a Bulls fan to make a statement like that. Win or lose I think the game will be close within 5 points. GL with Bulls, but I will be on the Magic just waiting to see if line gets driven up anymore with Howard out.

    Bulls should win by DD, if they don't then I can guarantee you there is referee influence involved.
