Right now the line is at Bulls -1.5. What is everyone's thoughts on this game. I'm leaning Chicago just because Phili hasn't shown they can run with the elite teams, but something tells me Phili and the home crowd get up for this game.

Leaning Chicago .. Phili lose at trailblazers .. L at jazz .. L @ Knicks ... L vs nuggets .. L @ heat .. I know these are on the road except the nuggets .. But you should be able to steal knicks or nuggets if you want to compete with bulls defenseComment -
Ill be at the game tonight. I expect the house to be rockin and I know the Sixers will be up for chicago. Despite that, im still very weary of laying $$ on philly here.
Where have they proven that they can hang with an upper tier team in the NBA? They aren't going to reach their full potential until their roster is back at full strength.
Im leaning chicago, but its not very strong. Philly has the talent to hang with the Bulls tonight, I just honestly don't see it.
Sixers fan or not, id lay off.Comment -
Vucevic should be back for Philly, with Deng & Hamilton confirmed out for Chicago. So Brand has some support inside, and the Philly perimeter shooters will have lesser defenders guarding them. I would think the Bulls will work hard in the paint, but on the perimeter they could have trouble stopping the Sixers guards shooting from distance. I could see this being a high scoring game with lots of Steals/Blocks/FTs as the two strong defenses force turnovers and fastbreaks.
I would lean to the Sixers, but I think this game will be a tight one.Comment -
like the under but too late on the moveComment -
Bulls are missing Deng and have lost to some average teams on the road. How many minutes will Butler, Scalabrine, other bench players get? The spread is low so I'm not afraid of the late Philly cover if Bulls bench get in late. Brewer also had some bad shooting nights in the past week, hopefully he stays aggressive/confident. Bulls are still one of the most solid teams who play hard and smart 48min, they always seem like a good bet. If Korver stays hot, the game is close, and the crowd stays out of it, I like my 1x on the Bulls to cash. If Philly takes an early double digit lead, the Bulls may not be able to dig themselves out though.Comment -
I would bet Bulls - they are capable of playing extremely well against solid teams, even on the road. I think coach Tibs does a good job of getting his team up for these big games.
Philly's bench might be the only thing giving them trouble, but other than that I'd say Bulls is the play.Comment -
a lot of toss up games tonight, dont like the board much, but i agree phi is going to get up for this game, i like their depth matchup against chi, and chi cant get up for every huge game they have, which they seem to have done so far this yr. not great analysis, but gut is all i really trust in toss up games, either way i doubt i'll play it.Comment -
After the loss at miami the other day the bullies are on a mission. Home court advantage throughout the playoffs. Bulls will defeat the 76ers tonite.Comment -
76ers ML.Comment -
I would pass. Better options on the board. I don't trust Philly against good talent yet. I feel like philly is going to be a fade team soon when the schedule picks up.Comment -
Should be a dandy!Comment -
Sixers started a nice run in the last 5 minutes. Thats what i like about them they got a good bench. Up 6 after the first qtrComment
