            He should play more Niko and Gibson. Less Noah, Pau, and Hinrich (why he was even in the game at the end is beyond me).

                Probably the same line again. They can't move it too much towards Memphis cause the 67-15 Warriors are in a must win game but they can't move it too much towards Golden State cause Memphis has looked dominant these last 2 games.

                I'm undecided but I certainly like my position as far as the +2100 series bet is concerned

                  Why are you questioning his gameplan? They're up 2-1. I don't see anything wrong with what he's doing.

                  I gave my thoughts on game 3 and what I expect for game 4 yesterday... Haven't changed my opinion yet. The only thing is do I ride out my big future ticket or do I also bet Chicago tomorrow? I'm undecided as of now.

                    Line opened at 5. I thought it would be 4 or 4.5 like this game but close enough.

                    I once again think the game will at least be close so it's gonna be hard to not take Memphis.

                      Why did he play Heinrich in crunch time ?
                      That ************ can't defend, and most of the times foul the opponent when he is shooting a 3 pointer (he almost did it again)

                      In this type of games every little things are important.

                      They have been top 3 defending the 3 point line, i hope Cleveland don't keep hitting like they did in game 3.
                      gm1 (7), gm2 (12), gm3 (14). Bulls couldn't make a run.

                      What was pissing me off, and will piss me again, refs keep calling defensive fouls, when most of them were offensive on Le Brick, this is one of the dangerouse plays, Le fa_ggot always get 3 points plays in this sittuation.

                      I still like them to win gm4, they need to make sure gm5 is a must win for Cleveland. But they will need to play their top game.

                            Is the move simply cuz of the Gasol announcement? Everyone with a brain knew he was out. It means more time for Taj/Niko anyway.

                                Part of it probably is. I doubt the line would've moved 4 points since the pinny opener without a bit of it due to him being out. Most of it is probably due to a ton of money coming in on the Cavs though I guess.

                                  Thibodeau trusts him more than Snell. Snell can also do stupid things but he's probably a better player. The bigger question for me is Aaron Brooks. He's been a bright spot for them all year and has fallen off in the playoffs. Chicago's depth should be the key in this game and it would be nice for him to get on track.

                                  LeBron gets star treatment. Unfortunately we just have to account for that. It's actually been much worse in this series than I've seen it in a while and the surprising thing in a way is that many of the controversial plays with LeBron also involved Rose, who you'd expect would get a bit of star treatment too.

                                    No words. I can't really complain after game 3 though, it's one each of those. At least it wasn't a 3 to cost me my bet on the game too.

                                    That said there's no way it should have even come to this. Chicago just flat out choked after going up double digits. This was the 2012/13 Bulls out there. One of the worst played games on offense I've ever seen. I really can't believe they gave that game away that way. The 29-footer Rose took with about 1 minute left with the Bulls down 3 may be one of the worst decisions I've ever seen a player make in a game, and that's saying a lot.

                                    These fukkheads have to win again in Cleveland I guess. I still maintain they're better so they can do it. It might end up just being one of those bumps on the road but it's disheartening to say the least for now.

                                      They really do need Pau back. Noah provides nothing on offense and the playoff lights are to big for Mirotic. Mentally I don't see how this team can recover and try and win in Cleveland again.

                                        I think they'll be fine mentally. They knew they could compete in this series from the getgo and on top of that the Cavs are probably a bit more banged up than them. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these guys to finally get one over James.

                                        It's a disheartening loss in a way but the way the series has gone there's no way they can stop believing now.

                                        It's more about sorting out their play. I agree they're probably missing Pau in the halfcourt. Mirotic looked awful today. I don't know why he got that many minutes. I liked what Snell brought to the table a lot more.

                                          Noah and his sky dive layups have got to stop lol, but I hope the Bulls regroup and come out focused again.

                                            Probably going huge on Bulls game 5 spread. Won't play the ml as it's directly linked to the future. These fukks better show up. I expect them to deliver their strongest effort of the series. This is the game where we see if this team has really grown up or not in the last 4 years.

                                            Grizzlies+5 -105 (5dimes) (risking 2.63x to win 2.5x)

                                            Have zero interest in the other game. I'd sort of lean Wizards but it's just such a shitty series especially without Wall that I don't even want to bother guessing which team will suck less.

                                            Rockets series was really a bad play on my part. Thankfully though I've been smart enough to realise that and did not chase them at all throughout the series. In fact I won the only bet I placed on them in an individual game lol. I think I greatly underestimated how much beating the Spurs gave the Clippers a boost.

                                              His energy was good but yeah he can't shoot around the rim to save his life. I hope Pau can play but it's not a dealbreaker if he can't. Just hoping for less Mirotic if he's not playing well. Not like going small is a problem.

                                                Paul when is in good shap is a very good player to pick and roll, and also to mid range shots.
                                                Agree on Brooks, suddenly he start palying like shit.

                                                JR bricks shot a few crutial baskets... But Le BRick was struggling so much, doesn't know how Bulls didn't just "finish" them at home...



                                                I told you, FADE ** Hale



                                                I also like Memphis, and don't know if i'm beeing stubborn but like Hawks.

                                                  I really like the Bulls. To me it feels like they still are in control of the series. Cavs offense has been absolutely horrible and I don't think they can win playing like this. Want to see the news on Gibson before making my bet, though.

                                                    Gibson is fine I think. I can't find the quote anymore but I think he said it's nothing he can't play through.

                                                    The Bulls just choked a game away but they are clearly better and healthier to me. This is once in a lifetime opportunity for them to beat LeBron. I don't see how they don't win this year, the circumstances are perfect, who knows if that will ever happen again?

                                                        The point is that I thought Houston had made progress from last year but everything they did during the regular season, be it getting much better on defense or Harden becoming the near-MVP, has completely gone out the window in the playoffs. Is it McHale's fault? Probably in part yeah. But hey, you're gonna misread some things. Just moving on here.

                                                        They're home dogs for game 5

                                                                Have a random feeling Wizards win game 5 in Atlanta then the Hawks end up winning the series anyway. Hawks do to the Wizards what the Pacers did to them last year and inevitably get obliterated in the ECF.

                                                                That said it's such a shitfest of a series idk if I want to touch it.

                                                                Memphis is gonna have a hard time now but after seeing them bounce back in a similar situation last year and win game 5 in okc I'm not counting them out quite yet. The Warriors might just be too good for them though.

                                                                Tempting to take Houston as home dogs but they haven't really given us any incentive to believe in them.

                                                                  Don't like the fact public is all over Wizards spread in gm 5.

                                                                  I Like Bulls, but L Brick today will go a lot of times to the Ft line.

It's the exact same stretches where they can't score as in game 4 and that's when the bench is in. If Mirotic can't make a shot why is he even on the floor? They need Pau back so badly. Shocking to see this capitulation from the bench after it being one of the rare things that went well for them in the regular season.

                                                                      Otoh, I can live with James playing great because he's a great player but what's with Shumpert suddenly turning into a dead-eye shooter? He's even making contested 20-foot pullup jumpers like they're layups. You can't account for this kind of shit.
