    Bulls Series only +210 even after last night?

    Seems to me like books like Chicago in this series. Lose by 20 last night and now down in the series but 2/1 odds seem pretty short to me. Anyone else surprised by this?

    Not surprised. Books think that Bulls have a legit shot at Game 2. If they take Game 2, all of a sudden the momentum is in Chi's favor.

    I think the Bulls may win game 2, but it's doubtful they win the series. They are overmatched by Wiliams and Lopez, and they are dog tired because Thibs doesn't understand that the regular season doesn't mean dogshit.

    Doesn't matter that they lost by 20. Still just 1 game.

    Looks that way.

    Bulls are trash, don't waste your money here. This team completely overachieved for the first half of the season, and have been playing .500 ball the last 2 months. Like the Lakers, they are very limited offensively. I just don't think they can keep up with Brook on the offensive end.

    I view this series somewhat similar to the Lakers/Spurs series. Only way I can bet on Lakers or Bulls is when it swings back to their home in either game 3 or 4.

    Series doesn't change unless the home team loses a game. You guys know that.

    I kinda think Bulls will take this series speedy. I think they can grind this out... Nets are also trash.

    This is the same Bulls team that beat the Heat twice then also was able to lose to the Raptors twice in a week. The ability is there but not the consistency, especially if Noah is done.

    Exactly what do we attribute that game 1 thrashing too? Some make it sound like maybe that was just a fluke ass kicking...

    I would be confident in going all-in on Nets series price right now

    Nets playing faster and Bulls always got their asses kicked during the regular season by teams that play fast and loose, most of those teams being in the West tho

    My guess is you like Chicago quite a bit in game 2? Just saw the line is only 4.5 for that game, interesting.

    The more I look at these playoffs, the more chalk I think we will see throughout the playoffs. So far pretty much every road team has rolled over and died with the Warriors being the only exception. I would not be surprised if all the series were 2-0 after the game 2's are finished up. Only upset I see in these playoffs is Clipps over OKC in round 2. Took Clipps +680 to win the West.

    Could be a good bet. I think Thunder are on upset alert tonight.

    I would not read too much into the Bulls Game 2 line but that's just me.

    Yep. Bulls have not played well at home and have suffered many beat downs there. Nets will get at least 1 of the next two in Chicago and wouldn't be surprised if they won them both.

    Bulls actually played worse at home than on the road this season in many instances. Hopefully they will win @ home this time.
