Jazz/Bulls

[rain_e]

Any thoughts on this one? Line is now down to -4 and I believe it opened around -6.

I'm really loving Utah -4 for 5 units. Someone tell me what I'm missing here.

[diogee]

Line opened at 3 and is at 3.5 at most books...was up to -4 about 4 hours ago but has since dropped back down. The Bulls are in disarray to say the least. The Jazz are suspect on the road but call me a sucker I am on the Jazz and debating on pulling the trigger on the under.

[buztah]

Jazz win by 27.

[rain_e]

Jazz win by 27.

Since you said that I'm going to celebrate right now!!!

Should I tell me boss I quit now or wait till halftime?

[buztah]

Tell him he can blow you and then go get hammered. You're already a winner, pal, even though the game has not been played!

[diogee]

AK47 is playing as well so that helps me justify my Jazz wager...Good luck with whatever route you choose rain_e.
The Bulls do have something to fight for but the Jazz are grasping onto the playoffs as well. Could be a fight tonight.

[rain_e]

Well pulled the trigger on Jazz -4.

[mundane]

a must win for both teams but jazz have been playing great basketball. i expect the bulls to crumble on this one. boozer will have a field day and if kirilenko plays, they'll be all jazzed up and easily take this game away from the bulls. expect a 55%+ shooting pct jazz on this game.

[rain_e]

kirilenko - I believe he will be playing for sure.

[mundane]

even better.

[The HG]

Well, I like the Bulls in this one. Utah suffers a bit on the road, and the Bulls have a roster capable of top-level play if they can pull it together. Bulls on the ML, +145 or so, good value IMO.

[OrionSky]

Taking the Bulls +4 also...

Bulls are trying hard for the 8th playoff spot with the Nets in a slump. Plus, Chris Duhon is expected back tonight...

[mockmic]

i hope everyone who betted big on JAZZ, like myself, gets rich tonight.

[sir.civic]

jazz might have suffered on their road games but no time for losing here...its a Win that can be easily achieved..my prediction....102/95....jazz it is...hopefully i get rich tonight hahaha

[iladelcat]

who is going to guard darrent williams????? and okur and korver=bombs away.....cmon baby...utah all day...the bulls are a jump shot shooting team...they can't hit jumpers for four quarters at a high percentage...utah has mismatches at more positions.....go jaaaaaaaaaaaaz

[WestsidePete]

Duhon looks to be benched today....

Duhon's reaction to benching brings more discipline for guard
ESPN.com news services

Guard Chris Duhon, who was benched for the Bulls' game against the Detroit Pistons Sunday for missing the team's morning shootaround, was disciplined a second time by general manager John Paxson for making flip comments about the punishment.

It's unclear what action Paxson took Monday, but it's expected Duhon will be benched a second straight game Tuesday when Chicago takes on the Utah Jazz.

"I did meet with Chris," Paxson said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "We obviously talked it out. Obviously when things go badly, they go badly. I'm disappointed in what happened in the last couple of weeks, but ... I've dealt with it the way I feel was right and we'll move on from there."

During Sunday's telecast, it was revealed that Duhon had not received permission to attend Saturday's college basketball game between his alma mater, Duke, and North Carolina. He reportedly slept through the shootaround.

Duhon's response to the benching may have led to the second discipline.

"I don't play anyway, so it doesn't have that much of an effect on me," Duhon said, according to the Sun-Times.

Duhon later was interviewed on WMVP-AM 1000 and said he didn't expect to return to the Bulls next season.

"I probably won't be back," Duhon said, according to the newspaper. "I don't know what the summer has for me."

Duhon is averaging 5.8 points and 4.1 assists.

Put $550 on the Jazz tonight. The other day I put 2K on the Lakers when they lost to the Kings. My days of betting 1K have erased, and if the Jazz don't win by 4 I will not be a happy camper

[SexyMit]

Since EVERYONE is on the JAZZ I would be tempted to take the BULLS. But will lay off of this game and root for the Jazz for everyone but I have a bad feeling bout this game.

[rain_e]

Line is now at -5

[ChuteBoxe]

Big game tonight. Definitely looking forward to it. A lot of the pros on different sides with this one too. Jazz obviously looking like the square play. The West is tight however, and the Jazz aren't in a position to lose on the road to a young team in the bulls. With that said, I chose to ride the streak tonight and take the Jazz.

[dannyt76]

I am on the Jazz -4. Their road woes shouldn't affect them tonight. Let's cash this one. GL everyone.

[ryanXL977]

youknow why bookies salivate?
because people take road favorites like dallas, denver and utah who dont win on the road

[rain_e]

I think it's time to chalk this up in the loss column.

[ryanXL977]

2nd quarter? hahah
it aint over by a long shot

[Poker_Beast]

Come on Jazz get your shit together!!

[dannyt76]

Man they got a lot of ish to get together if I'm gonna hit this -3.5 bet. It's gonna take a tremendous 2nd half, but if any team was going to blow this lead, the Bulls could make it happen.

[AgainstAllOdds]

Jazz -4 is smashed and under 111 is gone as well...thats 2 units out the window...AWSOME NIGHT JAZZ

[Junkyard Dog]

unbelievable how good they are at home, then they cant win on the road

[diogee]

Jazz forgot they were playing a basketball game in the first...I agree JYD. I fell into the sucker bet mainly since the Bulls are in disarray as a team right now....did not work out at all.
