Rose Out - You Don't Need Rose To Cover OKC At Home

[TheMoneyShot]

Chicago plays solid defense... they have experience. These OKC kids think their sh#$ don't stink. Buy the hook Chicago +7 600/500 peace out.

You aren't going to run up and down on Chicago... I'm sorry.

[ridims]

i agree

[Finch Dinero]

Game could get ugly, OKC -7 for me.

bulls 14-5 without rose.

rose = overrated

[chantrain]

Yeah you're right, Rose sucks. Bulls don't need him. Trade Rose for a bag of potato chips!

[crustyme]

bag of chips?

asking too much.

Ummmmm, but aren't they 28-6 WITH Rose?

And but for a last tenth of a second tip against a shitty Raptors squad at home, that would be 13-6. And look at the teams they've beaten without Rose -- Wash, Pho, Cle, Char, Char (again), Sac, Bos, Mia, Phi, Orl, Tor, Tor, Atl, Det. A few decent wins in there, mostly at home, but on the whole pretty crappy teams. Only 5 of those have winning records. And then there are 4 DD losses in there too in 19 games. Bulls only lost twice by DD with Rose in 34 games.

Bulls still win games without Rose because they play such good team ball and have the best coach in the league, but over a long season they would ultimately be just marginally better than average without Rose.

[TodayIsForgotten]

Yeah, sorta like after MJ left. Kidding. The above is spot-on.

Why buy the hook then??

[ParlayKing]

^ What he said

[TheMoneyShot]

Why buy the hook then??

When I placed my wager earlier... 5D had it +6.5 -108. BetDSI had it with the hook at +7 -120. So I figured the extra $60 in case something shady happens... was worth it. +7 seems solid enough. But regardless... we'll see what happens.

[Illusivecone]

Buying from 6.5 to 7 cannot win you money. May push you though

[crustyme]

what other team would win at .737 without their best player? no one.

their winning % without rose is nearly equal to the heat's!

they are slightly better with rose but an mvp should be the difference between lottery team and championship calibre not slightly better. if kobe was out, lakers would be a .500 team.

plus it was rose shooting miserable 25% fg (4th qt) vs heat in the playoffs which cost them the finals last season.

[ChiLLx]

Bulls ML dropping right before tip

[Chi_archie]

Coach Thibs is the MVP of the that team

None. Because the Bulls are the best team. Not clear how that takes away from what Rose does. At their peak, the Bulls probably would have been pretty without MJ too. Didn't take away from MJ's greatness. The BEST team should still be good without their best player.

Plus, like I said, small sample, against a bunch of bad teams. Bulls would not win .737 over a full season (60-22) w/o Rose.

Agreed 100% ... Bulls when they had mj had insane ole players jut like this team does

Rose is important but this team is well coached an plays great team defense

[BigDofBA]

If you're so confident, why do you need to buy the hook?

GL.

[ridims]

+8.5 +100 Live bet on SIA

If thats your bookie i suggest you hit that now

[Chi_archie]

regarding the With Rose, Without Rose issue...

I think the Bulls are a system team built for the regular season.... they'd win with or without Rose in the regular season. Same could be said of the Pippen-led Bulls if (Jordan was not there)

but both Teams would suffer greatly without their stars in the playoffs. That's where Star Power can really lift a team...

just ask Dallas regarding Dirk

[jjgold]

Bulls dont seem to lose much without Rose

Go figure

[You mad bro]

Bulls r a joke

[Nick Papageorgio]

Stick to POF thread, you can't cap for sht.

[jayc88]

bulls ml 2nd half should be easy

[BigDofBA]

If you need to buy the hook, don't go big on the play because you must have doubts.

[onetrickpony]

moneyshot been losing since '99

his bookie prob lets money fuk his wife he feels so bad for taking all his money

[PickWinnerAllDay]

This line was a little too high but the Bulls have the luxury of being able to take a game off and this was going to be a tough one anyway with no Rose on the road.

April Fool's Bet I hope.
