Bucks are better than Bulls?

I'm on the +4 1h. I hope I don't regret passing up on that +8 1/2

Bucks have better perimeter shooters in Jennings and Ellis that can actually put up some points. Bulls have no one. Nate can't do it alone. If Deng was in the line up, it would be a different story.

Deng has just been a volume shooter this whole season. Look at the numbers.

Jimmy Butler is much more efficient offensively, he just has to be aggressive and get to the line a lot tonight

Belinelli is a better perimeter shooter than Deng. He needs to hit. That's how Bulls won Game 1.

Because Miami is desperate here and in Milwaukee they could "afford" a loss.

Why was Miami +2 in Boston for game 3 last year, got blown out, then were favored in game 4? All about situation.

Bulls are down to about 6 players that can actually contribute anything. Theres a couple other guys they can throw out there for 5-6 minutes , but they are just fillers(Teague/Radmonivic).

Line really started to move after Hinrich and Deng were ruled out, although I dont know how many people expected or thought they might play. Looking at some of the %s for both games, they are in the same range so some heavy money probably moved the Bulls all the way to +8.5.

6? Rose (whose been out all year), Deng and Hinrich. Who else is out? Rip is not out. He's just old and washed up.

Radmanovic plays nothing but garbage time. Teague does have to play because he's the backup PG now.

Regardless, it's still the same team that beat the Heat Game 1, something the Bucks couldn't do in 4 tries. The Bulls and Thibodeua just play them tough. Bucks don't. In no universe should Bulls Game 3 be higher spread than Bucks Game 3.
