Chicago get this easy. Hawks in a very bad spot after a long road trip.

Bulls win and cover.

josh smith might be out

hawley · 03-01-11, 11:56 PM

Bulls playing much better than the Hawks, and reading an article today one of their real focuses from here to the end of the season is getting those road wins

Bulls playing really well right now. Should have no problem here or with Orlando.

Was looking forward to this game but now i see the Bulls have some crazy opponents coming next and i'm not so sure about this one. Bulls have been trying to develop some consistent play on the road all year and now with a healthy Boozer and Noah this would be a nice spot for them against a good team to prove themselves, Atl coming off a long trip too and the Bulls should get a reasonably low spread for this one. Really liked it before i saw they have the Magix and then the Heaters rematches next.

Still sort of like it though.

This is a huge week for them Demens

If i was going to fade them at all it would be against the magic

Vulcan300 · 03-02-11, 12:18 AM

ride the bulls train while you can, against hawks; i'll take em.

twelvejewelz · 03-02-11, 12:21 AM

2 defensive teams? ill take the under at first glance but will look into it further.

Pauulzcappin · 03-02-11, 12:26 AM

After looking further into this game... this is a good spot to fade Atlanta. They are coming back from a 7 game road trip (3-4 record) and may be without Josh Smith. Chicago won 7 of 8 and has been getting into a groove. Even though this is the best Chicago team in a while, they have struggled against Atlanta away from home. Gonna wait till there's an update on Josh Smith.

Oh I didn't noticed his questionable going into this game. Will the short opening line favored the Bulls or is it against them?

you can't really call it a true 7 game road trip as all-star weekend was after the first 2 road games. your point is still valid, but a 5 game road trip vs a 7 gamer are very different.

Pauulzcappin · 03-02-11, 12:35 AM

I honestly forgot there was all-star weekend in the middle of it all.

They are 2-3 after the break anyways.

Go Bulls!
