4-1 Weds 3-0 Thurs & 4-1 Friday - HOOPS SUNDAY TOTALS

ORL/CHI UNDER +202.5

On the 10^th April was the last time these two met and the O/U total was +206. It was a perfect number because these two teams haven’t reached over 200 apart from a game where it whent to OT and the Bulls was coming from a loss and playoff elimination by MIA and their motivation was very low and were shooting very poorly. Defence was a focus for their game against ORL. The game hit Under by 8pts.

Bulls beat CAVS the other day by 5. They will be playing a more focused ORL team which i think is far better than CAVS right now after a pissed off ORL coach gave them hell for lack of motivation from already being locked for playoffs  following the loss to MIN by 1. I see ORL bouncing straight back after that loss in this game. CHI are 4-1 in past 5 games and ORL have gone LWLWL even more to back up the UNDER as a W for ORL after the tongue lashing by their coach would mean another whooping to the Bulls. Further more ORL are 25-14 on the rd while Bulls are 19-20 @ home.

Recent Meetings:
04/09/08 - CHI 83 vs. ORL 115 = 198

Last  ten games Magic played was under 8-2                                                                                                             Last ten games Chicago played was under 6-4

Only time they’ve gone over 00 is when they go into ot.

This quote is taken from my study on the NJN/TOR game on Friday:

"Our defence overall, our traps, rotations, being where we were supposed to be, not giving up a lot of easy baskets was a lot better and we just have to build on it," said coach Sam Mitchell.”

I think they this is still very relevant and i repeat what i said in that game:

“I remember when Bosh came back from injury he stated that he is focusing on Defence and their very next game (i forgot against who but can go through my files and find it) i played the Under and hit. At this stage of the season alot of teams are playing D. I'm expecting TOR to D up on this one here.”

I’ve played the UNDER for 2 TOR games and have won each one, this will be the lucky 3^rd i hope.

And in addition:

“"We just know we have to play defence,'' Bosh said. "We have to play tight. We know that offensively we are going to make shots, but we have to make stops." – After eliminating NETS from playoffs.

“Detroit (56-23) has been able to give its starters a break over the last three games. But the Pistons had lost two straight before holding Washington to 27.1 percent shooting in a 102-74 win Friday night.”

“Also, the Raptors have been terrible at Detroit in recent years, losing nine straight since an 89-78 win on April 2, 2003. Toronto has been held to 87.8 points per game during that skid.”

“"Going into the playoffs, we really have to build on this," 
Toronto forward Chris Bosh said. "We really have to have solid 
defense and we have to move the ball on offense."

Hey Hoops,

Since noone has answered your question yet, YES, it is too easy.Line movement indicates Bulls win SU, may want to reconsider your Orl bet. You know you can't always go with the line moves, but they are correct more often than not.

Bull went from+4 to +3 with 75% on Orl. this is on sportsbook.
