#2Bulls will be home dogs very rarely
The last time they were home dogs was against the Magic
I think Bulls win either wayComment -

#5Last road game of a 10 game trip, maybe? Last game on the road before All star break, maybe? home teams were 8-4 ATS tonite, take out the BucksWolves,Rockets, and Jazz they were 8-0 ATS.. the reason I said that is because 3/4 teams that didnt cover tonite are very incompetent.

#6Bulls win tomorrow night. This is a big game for them and it's at home. They usually step up in these situations.Comment -

#8Or how about the Bulls having the 2nd best home record in the league? Or being 9-1 against teams over 500 at home? Or being a dog at home just two times all year and winning both of those games? But yeah, as usual.ITS A TRAP, HIDE YO KIDS.

#10This has been traditionally a throw away game for a talented road team that has All- Stars such as the Spurs. Spurs are good but I think CHI will want to play this game at a higher level than the Spurs are willing to go. Talent wise/advantage Spurs Motivation / Bulls and it is at home. Who knows? I think CHI wins.Comment -

HahahahHHa.. Anyway either side shouldn't be big play, either team can win this, Chicago has the revenge factor and that should be enough to warrant them as the side to make a play onComment -

#12I honestly don't know any other sports where the players care less about the game more often than in the NBA. The season is too long. The players don't care. But the show must go on night after night.
Curling gets greater intensity than NBA ball.Comment -

#13I think Bulls win too, but i dont think its a throw away game for the Spurs just cause its the end of the trip and its all-star break. If they were playing some crap team i can see that being the case but the Bulls are a serious opponent especially at home and the Spurs are a proud team so i'm sure they are not looking past them just yet.
Of course if the Bulls are up by 10 in the 3rd i can see Pop benching everyone like on Christmas and catching an early flight leaving the scrubies to finish the game with a random Bulls fan from the 3rd row coaching.Comment -

Agree though, NBA would be better with less games. Shane Battier even had a proposal about it, dont remember what it was for exactly, maybe he was trying to be the players union president or something. Anyway, it'll never happen, all about money, and no not vegas money. Stern would never allow that, leagues losing money as it is anyway, cut down the season and half your ad revenue disappears. Not a chance, who cares if the product is shit.Comment -

Well, if you feel the Spurs bring it 100% then you might not want to bet CHI. I like CHI and they are a good home team but lets face it the Spurs are just better. CHI is a much better version of the BucksWhich is to say they have a tendancy to struggle offensively at times where as the Spurs usually score points. My chrystal ball says CHI wins, will see.

#22I wanted to grab this thing out of the shoot but my book opened at 2
We've already seen this line move from Bulls -1 to -2. Do you guys think that enough money will come in on SA to bring it back to the 1/1.5 range or does it stay or 2, possibly even go to 3?Comment -

Not disagreeing with that either but the Bulls did not build there home record playing the likes of the Spurs. They do have some nice wins at home but fortunately caught some of the good teams in bad spots. I like the Bulls also just trying to present the truth. They are not quite as "elite" as there home record would suggest.Comment -

Players run around a lot in the NBA, but the intensity is mostly at practice level. Especially from January 1st to the ASB.Comment -

Bad spots or not 9-1 vs 500+, which includes Orlando, Lakers, Celtics, Mavs and Heat. So yeah, teams likes the Spurs did contribute to the Bulls home record.
What about the Spurs not playing defense and shooting too many 3s and not really being an elite team anyway? Changing your mind about that a bit?Comment -

#30Yes Demons I agree with you. The Bulls should win. I was just making the case that there home record is a little deceiving. But right now teams like Orlando and Lakers are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the Spurs.Comment -

LVSC started with the line Spurs -1 so not everyone agrees that the Bulls should be favored here. Line movement says the market is favoring the Bulls and I've noticed that when the market changes the favorite from the LVSC's favorite the new favorite tends to lose (especially in nationally televised games).
Several factors make me think this is a classic trap scenario, feel free to disagree.Comment -

#33Spurs still play very good defense. The stats don't tell the story as they are now more of an up-tempo team. Consequently they allow more points. And they don't shoot too many 3s because they are the best team in the league with the 3-ball.Comment -

But I still think its better to analyse it from ground..and if you miss the "good" line...so what - no bet is better than a random pick
And if you are so sure about a pick..then can you buy back the line..the doesnt matter then because you are sure about it
