Running of the Bulls

I have to think after that stinker Bucks/Bulls put up on ABS just 2 days ago Rupert Murdoch put in the call to make it more entertaining. It's very unusual to have those prime time ABC games be blowouts much less an under. Bulls haven't won a playoff game at the United Center since G3 of the 2015 Eastern Conf semis, guess who the ref was? Yep, Eric Lewis, you can't make this shit up. In 17 games this season the Bucks w/out Middleton avg 221ppg. They surrender 110ppg to their opponents and that's factoring in the abysmal Bulls 81pts Friday night. Bulls have to be in attack mode from the start and take advantage of Middleton's absence. I don't think Grayson Allen can repeat that performance nor do I think Chicago shits the bed again at home. Much like Twolves last night, the Bulls must know that this could be their last game at the United Center if they lose this one. I think all 5 starters for Chi break out of their slump. This'll be the 7th time these teams have faced each other since end of January. The Man opened this series total at 227.5 and it's gotten as high as 239.5 despite 3 straight playoff unders in a row and 6 of 7 unders for the season. I think we get a tremendous discount at today's low 218 given that just a week ago it was 230.5.

113-108 Bulls

Bulls TT over 107.5

Bulls +4.5

Bulls ML +155

Bulls ML/over 218 parlay

I agree, looks like a Bulls line (begging for Bucks money after that blowout win w/o Middleton they're only 4.5)

Chasing the over the past few games, so 3ple bet now for the over. hope this chase is succesful

Heat have now come up empty handed on their last 2 trips to State Farm Arena, last in reg season and one in playoffs. In fact, Heat haven't won a road playoff game in 2 years. Miami seems to me like a sleeping pit bull that you don't want to wake and get it's full attention. I think today we see maximum attention and effort from the Heat. Ever since Bam was snubbed for DPOY he hasn't had a breakout game, I think today he does. Collins is just not up to 100% and if Capela ends up playing and they rotate minutes I think Bam Bam feasts. Butler seems pissed which is a bad thing for Atl. Hawks only played 3 guys off the bench in their narrow win and all 3 did phenom, I don't see that happening again. I see this series going back to South Beach w/ Miami up 3-1 then Hawks stealing G5 in a shocker. Heat are 4-2 SU w/ Guthrie as ref and avg. 114ppg but one of those losses was w/out Butler and Adebayo when they only scored 85pts so that skews the data a bit as 4-1 and 119ppg looks more accurate to me. Hawks are 1-4 SU w/ Guthrie and avg 101ppg. 

117-98 Heat

Heat -1.5

alt Heat -4 +125

Bam Bam Double/Double YES +145

Bam Bam over 29.5 PRA

@StraightWagers

 Dude, Rupert Murdoch doesn't own ABC. It's owned by Disney. And if he did how would a call from him make it more entertaining?

CHI HAS POINT PROBLEMS....ITS VERY OBVIOUS.  ITS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE ALL STAR BREAK.

Is 218 for a reason they’re begging you to take the over I’d be getting slaughtered on the overs good luck

@StraightWagers

 ForGive me if I’m wrong Middleton did not play last game Chicago scored a lousy 81 points they shot 39% the average is 42% I don’t see this happening but good luck

I like bulls 1st half in this game.

I'm betting Mavs -135 for series against Jazz. Doncic looks fine. Jazz have something Nets-like going on with them this season. They don't look completely engaged and seem completely fine w/ starting an early vaca. Whereas Kidd has Mavs locked in and enthusiastic, it's a great marriage. -135 is a steal imo. Then when Mavs win series the timing looks like Booker would be back in time for G2 of Western Conf semis which is good for Phx. Meanwhile Grizz and Warriors hopefully goes 6 or 7 getting more rest for CP3 and Booker. An injury to any injury prone Warrior (Green/Klay/Curry) and if your sitting on Suns futures you are giggling. Suns futures +390 right now and may hit +450 tonight if Ws sweep Nuggs. Cp3 and Booker Finals MVPs at +800 is a great opportunity I believe. 

This...

Thank you for typing that out so that I don't have to.. 

As davidsss would say;

"Bull" +4.5 (+100) for me.. ( at "Bull" instead of "Bulls")

 and 

RUPORT MUDOCH!!!!?????  

*….POINT GUARD….

 Bulls were the ultimate sucker bet 

Over was the sucker bet

Thank God I went with the stats and the under 9-0 first game

Looking at this thread now after the fact… Jesus…

LMAO you people are sick with conspiracie, the bulls were getting blown out all year in games tou think they’d keep close, that’s what inconsistent teams do.. like utah, like charlotte like the cavs.. throw out the spread in NBA playoffs and bet the better team and that’s the Bucks by a large margin. 

Yep

No surprises here. Thought Bulls would lose by 10-15 pts...
