    Bulls vs Heat - Game 2

    I expect Bulls to take the second home game and preserve the home court, but the books kept the same line. Surely Heat will play better, but after all the squares saw a great game by the Bulls and the resulting blowout I expected the line for the second home game to be a bit more inflated, favoring Bulls by more than they did in game 1. What are everybody's thoughts?

    You mean you can't see the bulls game 2 line opener at around -1.5 points?

    This series is too unpredictable. While Bulls may seem like the play Miami are more than capable of getting a result and after game 1 they will be super motivated and focused. Last game they were coming off an emotional win against Boston but the big loss gave them a reality check. Personally I'll stay away from this one

    I expected the line to be at least -3 or more, but I'm not sharp enough to really say what the line should be... Just what I thought would happen after the game 1 and seeing as it hasn't, I am now wondering if maybe Miami is the play here?

    I am wondering this while I am taking Bulls ML So yeah, I'm on Bulls either way, just wondering what others may think...

    Well, why hasn't that killer instinct kicked in during the half time break then? By then it should've been clear even to them that Bulls are not to be underestimated... That's what's been bothering me and makes me think that Bulls are still the play AT HOME.

    MIA 1st half since they always start strong. But Bulls will close out with a win due to a superior bench and coach.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the game will be closer then the last one.

    If the Heat lose this one, they are probably finished!

    I have the Bulls to win in 6, but a series never truly becomes interesting until a road team wins. Chicago went 36-5 in the regular season at home and have a top-3 defense and the MVP in Derrick Rose. I'm not a Bulls fan, but they only did what they were supposed to do in Game 1(and maybe Game 2), which is win. The Heat(no pun intended) will have the pressure to hold serve for Games 3 and 4. If they lose one of those games, then yes they are probably finished.

    No matter who wins game 2, nobody is finished.

    Am I correct in thinking that the current line says the books believe the Heat will win game 2?
    As I said, I'm big on Bulls, but the line is starting to scare me...

    all comes down to the bulls defense, if they show up strong, another easy win.

    I actually expected the line to be even or Miami favored by a point. I hope the Bulls can pull it out and go up 2-0.
