    Anyone Taking Philadelphia 76ers +9?

    What does everyone think. Chicago seems pretty square. Asking the Bulls to win by 10 is asking a lot from a team that struggles to score 90 points every night.

    I feel that Phili can keep it close. I just hate the way Phili finished out the season the last couple of months.

    Also leaning UNDER in this game. Think we may seem some game 1 jitters, and the fresh legs should mean excellent defense all around.

    Thoughts.

    What exactly do you mean by square? I don't think Chicago is being overwhelmingly backed by the public. If anything Sixers with that many points would be the square play to take.

    Chicago just missed scoring 90 but Philly only scored 80 to lose by 9. And D Rose wasn't playing.

    Take Philly +9 and then live bet the Bulls at something smaller if Philly goes up?

    I'm taking the Sixers+9.

    I think they can keep this one close.

    1. Rose, not playing in his best form
    2. Chicago's really struggling in scoring lately
    3. It's the playoffs
    4. Philly's young, and well-rested

    But Andre Iguodala has a hamstring problem so it might hurt Philly's chances. But he'll still play so I'm really leaning on taking the Sixers here.

    Bulls roll here. Defense wins championships and the Sixers struggle on the road and against upper tier teams. Evan Turner should have kept quiet. Why provide motivation to top team in NBA? Who would be surprised to see the Sixers struggle to score here?

    A few weeks ago people were wondering if the Sixers would qualify for the playoffs. Then they talk about positioning themselves to play Bulls vs Heat. Only from an 8 seed. lmfao.

    Evan Turner is going to have a big series. Coming out party for Turner.

    I see the Bulls winning big here. Making runs with Rose on the bench and stuff. Waiting for a Philly run to bet the game.

    I took Chi-9 after I realized earlier that Iguodala's hurt, and the comments that Evan Turner told the press might give some motivation for the Bulls

    They should trade Iguodala in the offseason and build around Evan Turner. He is pretty much Brandon Roy Jr.

    Sixers need to clean some house this summer and find a superstar. Shed some depth for talent. I still think they are one of the few teams that could offer the Magic a good deal for Howard.

    He went to high school just a few blocks from where I lived in Seattle. Ran across him at a few parties and the guy is an asshole to put it nicely.

    I think the 76ers will not make life easy at the Bulls and probably will be able to "steal" a game at home, but I think "bulls" will require a 4-1 overall. In the first match, I chose these options:

    [7/10] -5.5 Bulls win (ajust.) @ 1.55

    [6/10] Total Points in 175.5 @ 1.90

    [4/10] Winner - Odd series - Bulls 4-1@2.62
    Points Awarded:

    ChengChun gave vladionut 2 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    Lol. They always rave about him being a great 'passing' center, pisses me off a bit

    Doesn't Thibbs always leave his starters in way too long. I just remember when the Bulls played in NJ earlier this year and Thibbs had his starters on the court with 2 minutes left up by 25.
