Bulls +1.5?

cleaveland · 01-13-12, 11:01 AM

I just did some research on the refs for this game and the last 14 consecutive games that any one of these 3 refs have reffed a game in Boston...Boston has won. That's 14-0!!! Is it a classic ESPN nationally televised trap game? Time will tell.

Bulls are -2, rose is obviously playing. Perfect, Celtics will win.

Where?

"Derrick Rose (toe) is a game-time decision on Friday.
Rose is still wearing the walking boot as a precaution, but he participated in shootaround and is reportedly feeling better than he had earlier this week. The Bulls tentatively expect him to play"

read on twitter that Rose was shooting and told Bucher he's playing.

staying away ? Why ?

The fishy line tells you boston, just like a ton of examples this year with similar opening "fishy" lines. And the refs also tell you, boston. put 2 and 2 together.

WTF the celtics were just -6 pt favorites over the defending champs a couple days ago, and now they open with this against the bulls ? lol

Boston gets it done tonight. Rondo and Ray gonna go off. Expect a great game from a highly energetic Rondo (playing great like he did in miami and right before that). He has a chance to play against a hobbled Rose. lol he's going to be ready for this one.

Let's not forget that good penetrating point guard play gives the Bulls defense fits.. Look at what Teague did to them in the playoffs, and a lot of other examples.

Boston

I have money on +3 and the ML.

The Bulls strategy in the playoffs was basically to let Teague get his and guard everyone else.

Then how can Chris Paul can never beat the Bulls? Unless Rose is severely hobbled, and I don't think he is, Boston is not likely to take this one.

chantrain · 01-13-12, 01:57 PM

Yeah, he must be confusing the Bulls with the Lakers. Good point guards do NOT give the Bulls fits. Rose loves playing good point guards and usually lights them up.

d2bets · 01-13-12, 02:23 PM

And Rondo himself didn't play well against the Bulls last year. 10ppg, 41% FG, 8.3 asts, 4.6 rebs in 36 minutes. All below his averages. Same poor in prior year. Rose has owned Rondo.

SpreadSniper · 01-13-12, 04:57 PM

whats Chitown's road record when playing Boston over the passed 7 games? 1-6 SU..... including playoffs.

This is also the Bulls 5th game in 7 days, although hard to know when this shit even matters anymore. C's off 2 losses, gotta think they show up tonight.

IXL · 01-13-12, 05:07 PM

Wow those stats on the refs is ridicoulous. I'm going with the trend and slammin it on the celtics ML.

Yezzir · 01-13-12, 05:09 PM

Boston SU is my bet of the night. Boston have had their number at home in recent times. 5-1 SU in last 6.

Also, plus money for Celtics at home, looking to bounce back from a loss, and a days rest (important for a team like them).. I see them making a statement, kind of like Grizz did last night.. they win a close one late on.
