I agree JJ...tons of injuries for the Bulls. Marion and Wade work well together. Got Heat at +115 a couple hours ago.

Yeah, in case anyone is wondering...
Bulls G Ben Gordon (20 ppg; wrist), F Luol Deng (18 ppg; achilles), and C Ben Wallace (5 ppg; personal) are not expected to play Thursday.

bulls missing guys might be a good thing because younger guys can step up and prove themselves. bulls have been a total mess this season

Win or lose we are on the right side.
jj dont make the mistake betting against my Bulls pal... they have some guys that have been playing very good lately. I like the Bulls tonight at a PK...
I got bulls -2 , but i actually think all the players out for the bulls provides them with motivation. They are @ home and these young guys are going to see more minutes and bring a college like mentality to this matchup. The heat don't have chemistry yet due to addition of knew players. Im on the bulls tonight as well as the suns.

Just wondering if someone could help a young novice like myself out here...
I am not sure I understand everything about the "steam play" thing. I know the line has been moving crazy (like 6 points or so). What's the reason behind this? Just strictly becuase lot of money coming in on Heat?
Did the linesmakers make a bad line?

Im very disapointed I didn't wait this one out and take the bulls as a ML underdog. I got them -2 (-110) square move on my part.

A group of people laying big money on a certain team is a steam play I believe.

The bookmakers are trying to even out the action to manage their risk by trying to get more people to take chi, by moving the line in their favor

I've never watched a game knowing before it started that it's a huge steam play. Will be watching the refs closely in this one to see if anything shady happens here.

I remember a few nights ago the bulls were playing at golden state and the bulls were 12.5 pt dogs and won outright. Everyone was on the warriors because the bulls were shorthanded, well it doesn't make a shit of difference they have other guys that will step up. Someone said the Heat have no reason to lose, well they haven't the past 8 games but they still lose. Everyone should watch JJ's video on streaks, bet on the streak not against it. I'll take the Bulls on the ml right before they tip off.

cant believe I was stupid enough to take the Heat for a big amount. I know it's close but just watching them is brutal. Wade is most overrated player in the NBA. Too many turnovers and doesn't get back on D after he turns it over

Wade does lead the league in turn overs...LK1 and Hoopster def made me think twice about my pick with great points....I did not go big on this game by any means though.

heat really aren't a team capable of going on big runs and that is a problem being down 10. i'm hoping they down 5 at the half somehow

Damn. My biggest play in a week, and JJ is on it. If that's not a guaranteed loss, I don't know what is. I've never seen such an ice cold capper over three years in my life. He literally hits about 20-25%, but may well play the other side on the games he gives out....

Still in this game despite being terrible from the line and missing some easy shots.

I was worried when he released that he was on the Heat as well BB...my bet was already in though.

If there's anything that can make you afraid of a play you were previously confident of it is that. I honestly still believe we're going to win Diogee (somehow, someway...)

I felt the same way when I had Texas on Saturday I believe and he posted the same pick a bit later...that was one that he won.
