Bulls +7 at Boston nice lets get it

[lakerboy]

All i hear is over in this game hhmm wonder what that means. They moved it down a full 2 points at pinny in one shot

[jdhender]

Under here - Salmons makes Pierce work, perimeter D will be strong on both sides and neither team has much of a low post scoring presence in this one tonight

[biker1284]

shot around next to tyrus thomas this morning, in EARLY working on his game ....

You did what now?

[aceking]

Boston easy win .

[DarkMage]

I like Chicago even though their defense is terrible.

[lakerboy]

I see Boston winning this game by around 5 points max. The sharp books are hanging a 6.5 and feel good about that. The rec books are hanging 7's just to make sure. Trust me guys unless something dramatic happens bulls will cover this number.

[scarp]

i still celtics will cover tonight with the over

[SRBI]

u195 ftw as long as it doesn't go to OT it should be golden. IMO.

[zoukakos]

under is looking good on this one

[korbal29]

I agree also on the under, seems like a lock

LB, I was looking hard at this matchup and see the games played last year in the playoffs against these two teams were high scoring. That is the reason the public is on the 'over'... After looking closely at this I took the under about the time it was starting to drop like a rock. I saw the same move you did and got a good number at bookmaker.


LB, imo tonites matchup is conducive for the under. Getting some value here I believe because Vegas has put a line out based on the playoffs last year. I do not think tonites game will be up and down the floor. Boston playing 4th in 5 will probably play slower and Bulls struggle for points anyways especially on the road. FG% will have to be high tonite to take out the over IMO because the pace should be slow...

Last, but not least.. I love the referee matchup tonite... Very conducive for the UNDER.. Referees for this game are 32-47 this year on the O/U and 9-14 O/U when the posted total is between 185-194.5.


One last thing to consider for the Under here. Albeit the over players here have a bad number now and the under players that haven't pounced will loose some value..... Derrick Stafford called last nites game in Denver with Majic/Nuggets. One would have to assume after his cross country flight and refereeing on B2B that he will do everything to manipulate a slower paced game here.

[Pride>UFC]

95-91 Celtics...I like the under and Bulls!

[lakerboy]

Nice find Lyon. Also last years playoff games had lots of ot's and i remember at least 2 of those games would have went under if the games didnt go to ot.

[Eellsy27]

Under sounds good tonight......

Thank you!!


I am usually on the right side of the majority of my plays. Here I am on the right side, but it doesn't make a damn if I do not collect my pay check. I have been right on many occasions and still lost.. Due to overtime or whatever unforseen travisty. I am under 196.5 huge here 5X play as you say.... The total keeps dropping.

I will be waiting patiently tonite to see if they reward my efforts with a pay check. You can do all the work in the world.. Do all the thinking and scheming you want and believe me I am a nut that works at it, but at the end of the day if you have a looser... Well, it just sucks.

[thebestthereis]

C's are the Celtics, B's are the Bruins

[lyon804]

Correction!! I was wrong. Derrick Stafford is refereeing in Utah tonite not Boston, but the stats I gave for the refs for the Boston game are correct. I haven't changed my mind one bit about the under... The Derrick Stafford thing was just icing on the cake.

[chase hardy]

Nice call last night on LA. Like the Bulls with you tonight! GL

[biker1284]

I see the total at 194.5, worth grabbing now or think there's a shot it'll go back up a little?

[Dexter]

absolutely correct - i had under in several of those games that only went over b/c of OT

[jdhender]

do people feel it is best to wait until later to grab utah ?

[Shark79]

I agree also on the under, seems like a lock

And there it is boys.

Hammer the over.

[Shark79]

do people feel it is best to wait until later to grab utah ?

Cavs as a dog ... is a must.

[obamaismyuncle]

4-0 for Obama tonight!

Bulls/Celtics over 194
Celtics -6.5
Cavs Pk
Cavs/Jazz over 195

[jjgold]

Bulls are horrific on the road espeically against a good defensive team like Boston. I think the play is Boston.

[Nickelicious]

I dunno LB.

I have much respect for your plays ... yes, the Bulls always give it to the C's ... but the Celtics had an easy walk last nite and did play with most of their bench players 3rd and 4th Qrtr. So the Big 3 are healthy.

The Big 3 will be the Big 2 tonight with Garnett still riding the pine.

[rochestertitans]

im on the bulls as well. not comfortable but i like them, bulls are just streaky

[soaked in sweat]

liking the under as well

[bustabook]

Kendrick Perkins better defender than garnett? Wow that's just ignorant.

"The other thing that has happened to Perk to make him better is his focus. He accepts who he is and knows that his biggest value to the team is being our best defender."

JMU, guess who was quoted saying that? Doc Rivers. (in an article entitled, "Kendrick Perkins is core of Celts' defense, low-post scoring.")

First off, if you want to call someone's comments "ignorant" than give reasons for doing so.. it's a cowardly thing to do to run your mouth with nothing to back it up.

Second, before you talk.. know what you are talking about.

[lyon804]

Many people are liking the under all of a sudden in tonites game.. When this thread started everybody was on the 'over'. A few people that understand the game came into this thread including myself and made valid arguments for taking the Under here.. It appears our comments have been impressionable on many now...


Keep in mind this.. We are not professionals, at least not myself. If you bet the under do it for your own reasons and not ours. If we were so great chances are we wouldn't be here. Myself, I would be on a tropical island phoning my bets into runners on staff in Vegas, but I am not.

I like the under 196.5 here for a 5 unit play. Anything can happen. Hell, it could be working just fine and go into overtime and we lose.. Who knows. I say the chances of this game going under tonite is almost 60%. There are couple of strong dynamics working in favor of the Under here.

I see a grudge match kinda game at a slow to moderate pace

I am looking for a Boston 94 Chicago 89 Final total of 183 pts scored. Just opinion not a fact. If I was certain I would bet more than 5 units, but I am not and quite frankly never am.

Good Luck to all!! keep in mind.. use peoples opinions to shape your own, but do not tail anybody here without being in agreement with the decision that made them arrive at the pick in the first place.

[nmr123321]

The total has moved down to 194.5, is the under still worth it?

[Bigcheez]

Big time homer ref Eli Roe will be part of the crew in the Chi/Bos game. Of his 25 games officiated the home team is 20-4-1 ATS. He also seems to favor the under. 10-15

[bustabook]

20-4 bigcheez?? wow.. i am not a huge fan of handicapping referees but if this number is correct than it is definately something to look at..

nice.

[baazigar]

took under 194.5

lets hope it hits! plz!

[gotemcoach1523]

Over!!!!!
