Bulls +3 at home against the Clippers

[t-wizzle]

Chicago wins this game. Clippers offense will be stagnant against the Bulls stingy D in this one.

I expect a big time impact game from Noah in this one. He will make it his personal mission to not be embarrassed by "Lob City." Look for big minutes from guys like Taj Gibson along with other key role players. This game will be all about energy and I expect Chicago to be the team with more intensity in a national tv game on their home floor.

Bulls +3 -110 (5x)

yeah i think so too. is heinrich playing because you cannot ask nate robinson to guard chris paul.

[as99]

Clippers -3.

yeah this will be pretty important Im not sure if anyone knows yet. I think we bust our ass tomorrow and it's a really good game but I'd probably need more than 3 to make a wager due to our lack of anything that resembles a closer vs a closer like paul. Don't think it's awful but don't think there's much of an angle either way in this game. Laying off, go Bulls.

There is an angle and it's called defense. Bulls are one of the best in the league at defending the 3s and we all know how much the Clips like to chuck up the 3-ball. If Crawford, Barnes, and Butler are getting hounded around the arch, the Clips might have trouble scoring. Sure, Boozer and Blake will go basket-for-basket, but if the Bulls could slow the Clippers' bench, the Bulls have a legitimate shot.

[TwoWays]

Clip show rolling right now. Clipper defense no slouch. Clips got inside and outside offense too, so it's not like they depend on the 3 ball. Clips will take this game.

[blanco]

Kirks playing. I guess by angle I mean value.

[JM92]

Taj Gibson is pure garbage this year. The whole bench has been really soft. How can you guys back them... they lost by 21 against the Clippers at home and I know it was in staples center but their bench completely got shitted on. And they had Hamilton in that game!

[DudleyDawson]

I like my spot with Bulls +4.

[Catchn_Picks]

Pinny just jumped to +3.5..is this a trend?

Luv the Bulls play

[oldscho0led]

Bulls looking good at +3.5

[JayDeezy]

got lucky with a teaser parlay last night, veryyy close call with GSW/Pistons total, saved my ass. Think I will do the same tonight with the Clips + and OVER.

[vaas187]

I want to play clipshow so bad but they've won what? 6 in a row....i hate playing long winning streaks as theres always a let down spot.

[Butterface]

Dont teams with winning streaks or a winning record tend to not play their hardest against opposing conferences?? For example the spurs against the heat?

[ParlayBricker]

west teams own east teams , been like that for years

Not so sure about this T-wizz, last time these two faced each other it wasn't even close, and Clips bench outscored Chicago's 53-25, I'm not so sure that's going to change. This Clips bench and their starter play is really clicking on all cylinders right now, they are a team that can go into tough arenas and win (evidenced in San Antonio, and Utah. They did lose in OKC, Brooklyn, and ATL however, but that was during their losing streak).
I hate to bet against streaks, no doubt this will be a great game. But I struggle to see how Belinelli and Gibson are going to contribute enough with Boozer and Noah. Chicago's defense is stingy, but Clips have demonstrated a propensity to play great defense with Jordan and Griffin.

Abt Hinrich: Dec 10 Hinrich (left elbow) practiced Monday and is expected to play Tuesday, ESPN Chicago reports.

[The Architect]

Clippers have won 6 in a row. Havent won 7 in a row since 1991-1992 season. chicago plays great d, just don't know if they can keep up with the Clipps tonight, they are so deep. Last I read on hinrich is that he was going to play. Best of luck, been thinking about this game all day,def playing a side. going to see how the line moves in the next hour or so before deciding. best of luck

[t-wizzle]

Yea Hinrich playing is very important to guard CP3.

Chicago will win this game guys.

[The Architect]

Yup, I'm with you on this one. Linemovement, matchups, everything looks right for a chicago play. Only thing I'm worried about is Clips getting hot from 3. Otherwise, Bulls defense should be able to control and slow the game down where the Bulls can hang. BOL

Thanks man GL to you too.

[h3da]

5 unit play? You serious? Bulls...

[ThaTopMoron]

better games than this to bet on guys

[t-wizzle]

better games than this to bet on guys

Which ones?

[Goat Milk]

Boozer horrible matchup on Griffin.

[t-wizzle]

Boozer horrible matchup on Griffin.

Agree and disagree. Boozer sucks on defense yea but he can give Griffin space to shoot. If Griffin is making outside shots then just bring in Gibson. Between Gibson and Noah, Bulls will contain Griffin and Jordan.

all comes down to the perimeter shooting of the clippers, IMO. if Paul, Butler, Crawford get hot, could be tough for bulls to keep up.

Griffin will destroy Taj Gibson dude. Gibson is a SF defender in a PFs body. But yeah their best bet is to let Griffin take that 15 foot jumper because he is as inconsistent as their as in the nba.

Blake isn't that good in the first place. He is not even close to being one of my concerns with this bet.

[The Architect]

Blake isn't that good in the first place. He is not even close to being one of my concerns with this bet.

Griffin is something special around the basket. great footwork, and he's obviously unbelievably athletic with his ability to finish. let him shoot the jump shot all day, when he figures out how to shoot he should be avg. well over 20 ppg (if that day ever comes). noah and the bulls d should beat him up down low to an extent..but e perimeter defenders of the bulls are suspect.

[JM92]

I agree with you guys that the Clippers might struggle ofensively... but what about the Bulls? Come on? unless boozer's jumper is completely on tonight, how are they going to get consistent scoring. How about late in the game when their starters have got 35 minutes on them? No way the Bulls bench hangs around. Actually they might, but that would be strange, and I don't suppose you guys bet expecting the unexpected right? Does anyone actually think the Bulls bench won't get shitted on? How about Heinrich turning is back to the basket if Cp3 decides to pressure? Bledsoe vs Nate? I understand the Bulls want this one badly, but talent wise they are just to short right now to the Clippers.

lol.

Doesn't make sense considering Griffin might score more points than anyone on the floor.

[t-wizzle]

He's not an elite player. You know that.

[Cuse0323]

I've stayed away from the Bulls all year, but I love them in this spot.

[t-wizzle]

Looks like I'm gonna get beat by the closing number here. Hopefully Bulls are the right side.
