****NBA TUESDAY 4-13-2010 ML-HALFS-SIDES-TOTALS NBA****

I have Boston winning by 5,, so I have to wonder why this line is where it is?? What I do not have access to is breaking down Chicagos numbers over the last 5 to 10 games, now they have obviously been playing better, but they have also lost to New Jersey, while Boston has lost to Washington,, two low level teams. Yes this game is at Chicago and yes The Bulls need this game because if they lose, then even if they lose tomorrow night and the Raptors win then the Bulls still do not make it in,, so Chicago has to win two in a row.  Or is they do not win this one, then they have to win tomorrow and toronto has to lose.  Boston has been playing horrible defense as of late. But I have to think that with the numbers I do have, and the fact that Boston has got to come out of this slump at some point,, and the Celtics are 8-0 against the Bulls when Garnett plays and he is in tonight. So I have three options. I could fade the numbers and go with the Bulls, who struggled to beat a Cavs team with no Lebron, then Lost too New Jersey, then beat up on the raptors with No Bosh. And basically just be hoping that I am right,, option two,, I can go with my numbers ,and go with a real stat that the Bulls have not beat the Celtics with Garnett in the game, and go with a team that has proven themselves over the season with a better record, option 3,, no play at all,, wait for a live action line with better value, or wait for a half time play with better value.. So in the spirit of make a stab at the last few games of the year, I will go with option two.. Its always a better chance to go with higher probability of something happening, then to just guess and act like I am smarter than I really am. There is nothing that i can find to point towards Bulls here, accept to say,, The Bulls really need this game,,, SO,, that said,, The Bulls could win and cover tonight and that would mean they played one of their best games of the year.. A time to rise to the occasion. And if they do, then no rea loss,, just move to the next one,, But I would rather be on the best probability of winning, because if you do that throughout the entire season then you will end up with a real profit, not just 1 good week along with 2 bad weeks,, Good Luck whichever way you decide to go,,
