    Bulls TNT Home streak

    One of the most inexplicable streaks in the NBA has lived to fight another three weeks: With a 94-87 victory against the league-leading Warriors, the Bulls stretched their winning streak in TNT Thursday home games to 18 games. It’s a run that dates back 1,470 days since the last such loss.



    Not to mention they have actually been playing better then the cavs lately the points got to be safe?

    Nowhere is that trait more pronounced than on TNT Thursdays at the United Center, a situation in which the Bulls last lost on Feb. 21, 2013.

    Ref crew history (10-5) favors Chicago with the points.

    Maybe your right whenever these streaks get broadcasted it seems to be trouble except the fact the bulls last 10 stats have been performing well against cavs last ten stats not to mention bulls have covered last 5 match ups. Winning 4 straight up. I guess you could fade all that I wouldn't.

    Streak is a non-factor in determining tonight's play.

    I get Cleveland -4.48 so Bulls may have a bit of value at +5.5, although I am likely passing.

    The Bulls are 3-0 this year vs the Cavs. They surely can't sweep them right?

    2 of their early wins came with Taj Gibson having big games. He's no longer on the team. Their 3rd win was when LePuss was out with menstrual cramps.

    I think Cavs get this one.

    This is what I was thinking... Honestly, after the Cavs' last game/utter beatdown, I was planning on getting behind them whatever their next one was. I was hoping it would be against a team that's a little more of a tomato can than the Bulls, who are kind of fighting for a playoff spot. Hmm...

    I also (from a Cavs perspective) don't like how Lue is talking about resting/getting ready for playoffs... but... I still say we have to see a Cavs rebound from the embarrassing Spurs thrashing. I think Bulls are fukked here unless LeBron's back is bad or something.

    Think I'm going to wait for the line to drop to 5 or lower and then pound the Cavs.

    Cavs win, not going 0-4 to the Bulls and surely they know about the streak, thats quite a bit of motivation.

    Why though just because they know about that they magically play better? The stats aren't there so maybe they just play lights out this game I guess

    No not really the streak, I know teams make conscious efforts to most times not go 1-3 in a series to a team to at least break even, Bron sat that last game though, so more of a conscious effort to not go 0-4. Its more about the series even though Bulls wont be a threat in the playoffs.

    Bulls are too bipolar to bet on. Cavs been playing horribly but not quite fade material.

    lmao, this group of Cavs is the biggest group of losers Ive ever seen

    Love is a disaster in the post, guaranteed turnover or miss everytime. Enjoy your first round playoff loss Cavs

    Is Cleveland actually in trouble come playoff time, or are they just going to flip the switch? It's getting hard to tell.

    Refs are bordering on butchering but their tendencies favored Chicago tonight as mentioned early in this thread

    It's the same story every year with the cavs. They need to switch it up. Cavs struggle closing the season out, people have doubts, end up reaching the finals. They'll win it this year again.

    Agreed. They're just being lazy. I can imagine these games get somewhat mundane for them.

    I just hope they play Miami in the first round. That would be awesome.
