    Put Your Lifesavings On Chicago - 3 tomorrow

    the bulls would likely cover this with howard in the lineup


    without howard and without Q-Rich, I expect chicago to win by 15-20



    reason ?? pretty simple, howard is this team. Without him in the lineup, the 3 point shooters have nearly no chance to get open looks and the defense will get shredded without his presence in the middle


    Chicago - 101
    Orlando - 83

    agreed, but Laki already started a thread on this

    these guys made some sort of mistake. -3 against a Howard-less magic is a gift. It'd take a huge Bulls defensive collapse and a great shooting night from the Magic to win this game.

    Bulls starters are not resting, confirmed by coach thibs

    for those who are doubters


    the bulls beat Orlando by 8 on the road last time out with Howard having 20 points on perfect shooting + 10 boards. You take him out of that game and Bulls would have won by 15



    this line is perfect too cause even if its miraculously a close game, Chicago can still cover with late free throws

    Is anyone worried about the fact that chicago has clinched home court and this game means virtually nothing to them? i hesitate to go heavy on this game cuz of that, but somebody has to win it right? magic does have some players who may surprise and get aggresive offensively without howard. or agent zero could just shoot 0-20. who knows? understand bulls starters arent resting, so hopefully bulls roll.

    Why would you bet anything significant on a meaningless NBA game with a weird line when you don't even know how much Chicago's starters will play.

    why did the starters play against the cavs then, 1st seed already all but clinched, just unofficially. Bulls still want to win. They may not play their starters full minutes but they still want to win.

    bulls still have chance at number 1 seed throughout playoffs

    I Expect rose and deng to play right around 30 minutes. Bulls have a fantastic bench though so they should have no problem winning this game

    Vegas doesnt give away free money so there is something you are overlooking
    I am not saying the Bulls dont win big but Vegas knows more then we do

    The atmopshere will be electric for this game - old NBA on NBC style

    IMO best situation Bulls could have is to take a big lead into half and sit their starters, that way they won't have to worry about the outcome of the game. (don't forget, they still have a chance for top seed overall) Worst situation would be to lose to the Magic without Howard, they definately don't want to give the Magic any mental edge, thinking that they actually have a chance. Thinking bout Bulls 1H...

    lol this dude sounds like a bookies dream. Chicago is the #1 seed, Orlando is without Dwight and the line is ONLY -3? Im sure Vegas/Offshore know about Dwight being out so why -3? This is a dream... kinda like yesterday when Atl was -2.5 and got blown out by Washington....

    lol @ you thinking Orlando is gonna cover this


    they played an absolutely perfect 1st half and are still down a point (would be 4 if not for that miraculous buzzer beater)


    bulls will win this by 8-10

    i dunno, Bulls r playing a lil sloppy and Orlando wants this. i would have stayed away... Bulls have been really hot lately. due to win a game by 1-2 or lose last second shot.

    a little sloppy is an under statement. Boozer and Noah are fumbling everything, did they rub their hands in vaseline before the game?

    Good luck still, the rationale was just bad, basketball is a team sport players don't have to be able to create their own shot to score, that's why they run plays and set screens.
