*monday*BULLS-1.5@BROOKLYN...WHY?

Question

The Bulls and raptors are tied record wise. Raptors hold the tie breaker and are the 3 seed.

The 3 seed looks to be playing the Bucks, slight chance of getting Boston.

What does this short line tell us? The nets will be on a B2B. Is it just that the Nets are now on last minute life support to make the playoffs?(ofcoarse the out come of the pacers okc game will change the scenario)

Do the Bulls want the Wizards? That would be a chippy series.

I'm from Chicago, I will post any inactives if I hear any.

Opinions/angles/thoughts welcome

Well Bulls want to avoid a 2nd round match up with Cleveland. Toronto will end with 3 seed.

hahaha Sac, we looked at the same game. This one has me intrigued big time. Bulls coming off a win against the lowly 76ers in which they struggled (or at least made it look like they were struggling) against a Nets team who are still 8th in the East and needing a win badly. The Nets have the Magic after this game as well so definitely 2 games they can win. I have absolutely no idea with this game because do the Bulls want to keep 4th and play the Wizards or do they push hard and try and win the next 2 games to get 3rd and hope the Celtics can at least beat the Raptors so the Raptors can only win 1 game?

I don&#x27;t know what to think. Early betters actually knocked down the line to -1...Maybe the Bulls aren&#x27;t scared of the Wizards. I believe the last time we played them we put a woopin on them. Lot&#x27;s of fouls and technicals too.Last time we played the Bucks they took it to us.Let&#x27;s see how the line moves. It screams &#x27;No play&#x27; to me right now.

Maybe something against Brook . Atlanta rested all players when they at Det and Charlote . But when they at Brook they tried their best to beat Brook . And Bulls too . They lost Orland and the day later they beat Miami . It seems that Vegas like Indiana to get last ticket . So do not be suprise Bulls will cover tomorrow and Tue Indi and Boston will have big win at their home !

Bulls fan here also Sac. I think Bulls will try to win it tommoroe but don't see them trying to force it. they clinched home court 1st round already which is more important to them than who they'll face against. they are not playing for favorable seeding, or avoiding certain teams for the playoffs...They don't care who they matchup against according to Thibs. They want to be fearless.

So take it with a grain of salt. I would take the Bulls if they weren't playing against a team who is desperately trying to clinch a playoff spot. Difference between Heat and Nets is the Nets are actually playing with some momentum. Probably will stay away from this game

Another Bulls fan here&#x2026;And another Bulls fan telling you not to bet on Chicago.The Bulls DO NOT CARE about the third vs the fourth seed. In fact, It&#x27;s been said that the team rather see Cleveland as late as possible. As to establish a rhythm with Rose back first. The #4 seed would potentially give them a matchup with ATL in the second round, instead of CLE. They have home court in the first round sealed up, and that&#x27;s all they really care about. The Bulls are a veteran team with a veteran coach, and they are willing to roll with whoever they see in the first round. They do not care.Not to mention, the Bulls road win percentage in the second half is something like .192. This team has been wildly inconsistent. If anything, bet opposite of what makes sense. They play to their competition. They&#x27;ll beat the Cavs one night and lose to the Magic the next.

Good stuff guys. Im most likely staying away from this one.

Last thought I had earlier was...I don't think anyone from the east wants to see the pacers get in. I'm not one for "tanking theories" or "throwing games" but if the Bulls let the nets win here there's more chance of the Nets getting in than the pacers.

Nets hold the tie breaker currently if they and the pacers finish the season w/ the same record.

What do you guys think of the total here? Too high?
The 3 previous match ups have gone back and forth Bulls lead 2-1 all going under
All around 180
What do you guys think about this trend?
Nets on a b2b but Bulls are very slow paced team
