    Explain to me why Philly line is still only -2.5

    Noah is the glue to that team.
    No Rose, doubtful Noah..
    contain Deng and block Boozer
    will it rly be that hard ?
    how do i not pound this ?

    i think it's because there's still doubts about the 76ers
    are they even an upper echelon team
    no trust

    I was wondering the same thing.

    Figured it'd open at -4.

    I told myself last night that if this line was under PHI -4 then CHI would be the play.

    its the NBA... do not trust Philly... Philly and Chicago could reverse roles in the 4th q as the Sixers go cold knowing they are 1 quarter away from a 3-1 lead... Chicago gets hot and bailed out as Korver nails 3's and Deng breaks out bigtime

    its the NBA

    I think it's just because the lines are based on power ratings and they subtract for Rose and Noah being out and they end up with the current line (with adjustments made for who the public team is, etc.).

    I'm going to lock it in now.
    I think it will be higher tomorrow.
    The Bulls are done.
