I think that other tool ruined your swag. Bulls will cover that imo.Comment -
I do agree with you but won't be betting on it lolComment -
Don't underestimate how bad Memphis is. They went down to the wire with the Hornets at home in their last game. For most of the game Memphis looked to be equally as bad as the Hornets and that was at home as an 11 point favorite. They are a pretty bad team right now. That doesn't mean they can't win but I say Bulls or nothing in this game. Don't trust Memphis, even if they win it won't be easy and it won't be worth the stress imho.Comment -
Meh, many people said to take the Pistons today against the Warriors too. The underdog pick is not always the smart pick or the best pick. It's important not to try and outsmart yourself. The Bulls are a very good team.Comment -
Bulls -3.5, easily.Comment -
How about UNDER 177? This is already too low but something tells me to take it.
Da Bulls have too much SN Football and beer?
the next three games are really away games because there's only one home game sandwiched between two away games.

Comment -

Comment -
square as a box of chocolatesComment -
I put this in a parlay.Comment -
Agreed....Memphis or no play on this.Comment -
I kind of like Memphis too. It is MLK day tomorrow, and MLK day is big in Memphis with the black culture. And the Bulls won't fully grasp the MLK holiday since they have so many white guys. Korver, Asik, Thibeddaeu, etc. The Grizzlies will represent MLK day well tomorrow with a win!Comment -
i knew people would praise chicago, u guys all go for chicago and burn ur cash lol memphis will take it for sureComment -
Memphis is going to be more up for the game because of the MLK holiday????? Dont really see the logic in that one, but ok.
Bulls -4 easily.Comment -
i know they are good but all the lines are made for a reason. and this kind of play, where everyone (more than 80%) are expecting chicago to win and betting very heavily, seeing some unnatural line movement... better at least avoid chicago. Books won't give you money that easily...Comment -
well, goodluck with chicago. I wont persuade u to change ur mind.Comment -
Such a small spread, why isn't it bulls -10. A trap for sure. Punters like to bet on their perceived percentages seeing such a small spread. Its the reason the public never won on a GSW game this season.Comment -
Reminds me of Portland -2 vs Phoenix and Indy -2 vs Detroit. Ridiculously low lines for road teams too.
both Port and Indy were hot while phx and det were shit at the time. Port and indy got blown out (the final score in the indy game wasn't indicative how they were thoroughly dominated in that game)
besides, who has chicago really beaten recently ? Since they lost by 15 to Atlanta last week, the bulls beat a struggling out of shape celtics who look like shit against everybody and anybody these days. And beat raptors, wizards, pistons, wolves. woopty dooComment -
Bulls win by 11Comment -
ok, i will fix what i said. There is no 100% sure game. I know chicago is so good most people won't believe them losing to team like memphis. The line is rather small, (i dont consider 3.5 as BIG handicapp) and memphis missing zach and they arnt playing like playoff last year but why do u think they gave line of 4.5. There must be a reason, they are real professionals who can predict how the game will run. It is only prediction but they are all better than us. No one in this thread can predict the game better than them. Which means with high chance, they game will be close game.. plus underdogs always have at least 0.5 or 1 line advantage. So, let's say the line is 3.5. This can be very comforting line for the bulls backers because most people believe it is such a small line, if bulls win, they can win by 3.5 but in reality, the game often ends in matter of couple points.. plus the line is changing in favor of the bulls when public is crowding on chicago. Books are doing it for the sake of people like you? no man... they do it for their on sake and the books will take this game in my opinion. Memphis lost by 40 points in their recent match against chicago, and memphis is not any better team but worse... while chicago became even stronger team, and the line is very small looking great position for chicago, i dont call is RLM but yeah, i consider some unusual line movement as well. I rather risk my money with memphis than chicago and I have no regret even if memphis won't make it like last time against thunders..
lastly... did you expect GSW to beat chicago? i bet u never did... lolComment -
hot this and hot that. Blah blah blah !
the bulls were hot last yr when they went into GS and lost. The Bulls were hot before they went into Toronto, and lost. The Bulls were hot when they played Charlotte, and lost. The Bulls were hot when they went into New Jersey, and lost
etc etc.
when will people learn that what you did before means jack in a single nba game.Comment -
Looks like a letdown for Chicago, but the OKC line is even more perplexing. That one really looks too good to be true with OKC winning 6 straight (Last one a blowout) and Boston losing 4 straight and looking putrid. Only one time has OKC not won by more then 3 points either during those 6 games.Comment -
this is a pure BW tail.
C'mon people, don't try to make logic out of it, there is none. Bulls are the better team in every way.
Just put a unit on the Griz and watch the money roll in. *puff*Comment -
Well, it obviously doesn't mean jack, otherwise there wouldn't be a need for the research we do. When I pointed out last year's results against Memphis, it was because last year's game was like a mirror image to this one. Does it factor into my final decision? Yes, but I didn't put a lot of stock into that information. That was a year ago -- a long time, in life and especially in sports. The fact of the matter is, the Bulls are flat out dominating this year; right now. Plus:hot this and hot that. Blah blah blah !

- Memphis will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, and will be up against the best defense in the NBA.
- The Bulls are 7-2 on the road, haven't lost on national tv, and massacred Memphis when they played them a couple weeks ago.
- Their best player, Gay, is going to be guarded by our best defender, Deng.
- They are without a cornerstone of their team, Zach Randolph.
- The Bulls also have a +10.3 average scoring margin, good for second in the league.
- The Bulls have won 11 out of their last 12 games, and the only one that was even close was a 2 point win against Atlanta, who appears to have our number (much like Golden State, our only other loss)
imo this is an easy pick

Such lines don't cross 75% of the time in my betting experience. If it crosses this means most of the public are 'educated' and had took against the square. Rarely happens to cross and Griz could end up winning the game. They are inviting 80%-90% of money to the bet and if this crosses frequently like half the time books had already crashed. There is no logic in the game because teams are rigged to show up 'sloppy' and without D. So similar to denver and detroit today, guess where the money was on.Comment
