Not entirely confident on Bulls in Charlotte tomorrow.

[brainfreeze0]

Usually this seems like a free fall bet or what most would consider a lock. Originally I was going to just go all in with my BR I've worked up over 3 weeks to $750 on one play for tomorrow: Chicago -4 1/2 1Q (assumption this will be the spread given -13 for the game). Seems like a pretty solid and easy amount to cover, but Rose may not even play. He was seen limping around the airport in Charlotte and Deng is speculated to sit this one out again. The 2 games they played this season they didn't cover the 1Q or game total spread in Chicago with Rose, and blew them out the next one in Charlotte.

Normally I'd think Bulls will be coming to play after getting beat by Wizards at home and Bobcats knowing they cant beat Bulls. However Bulls face Heat Thursday so how much focus will be on this game plus Bobcats face being known as the worst one season rcord in NBA history if they don't win at least one more game. Add to that every team plays top teams harder and an unhealthy Bulls team to boot. Stumped at the moment. Thoughts?

Not sure if I would bet against Corey Meggette. I'm sure Jordan will have the group motivated to play as they head to the home stretch.

[SparJMU]

there is no reason to bet on this game

Chicago should come out and play with full intensity, they can not afford to lose 2 in a row, imagine if they lose this and miami wins tonight, and then miami wins tomorrow against chicago they might lose their lead in the eastern conference

They can win but the more important question here is can they cover?

[TehSharp]

I think Rose will play in this one, but Deng sits again. Just speculation, but I agree, just lay off this game. There are 14 games tonight, surely there is better value then a 1q bet on chicago not a full strength. I don't care if they are playing the Kittie Cats

chicago should have came out to play against washington and you saw what happened. I would not bet on the bulls anymore this season if you paid me! when you cant beat washington it's time to wrap it up. The third string should beat washington.

this is stay away game pal ! lots of other games are much more predictable ! take jazz -4 against blazers ! or the ML ! GL

[NotSammySosa]

surely the #1 team in the east should be able to cover a 12 point spread against a 17 straight loser
but this late into the season I just stick with 1st Q, first half picks. but Utah -4, OKC -3.5 or Houston ML spark my interest.

[Jayvegas420]

I think the expectation that Rose will not play is built into this line.
I dont expect he will play & would take Charlotte because of this.

Bulls cover IMO

[reppin_the_847]

Keep in mind, Derrick Rose & Luol Deng are most likely NOT PLAYING tonight. Check this out:

Also worth pointing out that the Bulls are playing Miami tomorrow @ Miami.

[chantrain]

Derrick Rose is not playing. He says he has fluid build up around some tendons in his ankle. He says its painful and people have seen him limping around like a damn cripple.

[flyboy]

Rose has not done anything when he has been playing anyway. I think it's better for the bulls if rose doesn't play!

[Big Bear]

does deng being out matter?

i mean bobcats get blown out even by the hornets

[Big Bear]

if you were to bet against Bobcats would tonight be better
or Friday when they play the Grizzlies at home?

[tokio]

bobcats are just horrible.

[brainfreeze0]

I went ahead and dropped 2 bills on Chi -4 1Q. Watson, Noah, Boozer, and Hamilton hopefully come through. If not it is what it is. GL tonight everyone

good stuff homie

[brainfreeze0]

I bet the game +13 to but only $30. If Miami can hold the -3 1Q be a good nights start

[chantrain]

uh...not sure if serious

[flyboy]

uh...not sure if serious

I'm dead serious, what has he done since he has been back? first game scored 2 points???!!! Just in the way since the injury if you ask me.

[chantrain]

Do you even watch the Bulls? Just a few days ago he scored 24 points and got 9 assists. Derrick Rose is a threat any time he's on the court, teams double and triple team him. He opens up so much space on the floor for everyone else.

[Jayvegas420]

They didnt need him tonight to win by 30+

I agree with you. When he is healthy and playing good. When not healthy They are better off leaving him out in my oppinion. No biggie. don't lose any sleep over it.

I don't post here much, but I've gone 10-0 on Charlotte in last 10 games...my buddy and I call it "the world against Charlotte" streak. We bet whoever they play to cover. I don't plan on getting off this train. I think the closest game was New Orleans a few nights back. I had -6 and they covered 8 pts.


I'm surprised after watching this forum daily that people have not been slamming this.
