Wow, nice hit, Mac. 2 of 3.
I would have said this was a flat-spot, Home off the 5-1 road trip. But they win/cover again!Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Yeah, it is very difficult to cover after a 6 game road trip. Teams routinely lose in this spot let alone cover.
The Cavs still need to shore up their on ball defense and close out on 3 point shooters. The Nets are damn good shooters, Kyrie is fukkking off the charts. Damn, some of the shots Kyrie made tonight was just magical. He is a special talent. Harden on the other hand is still a first class dick. He flopped all over the court today and the refs gave him BS calls. I hate watching that guy play. I stopped going to Rocket games when he was here.Comment -

Tough game coming up in Chicago on Wednesday. Let’s cash it.Comment -
Several times today, Harden would grab the defenders arms (hook) and the refs would call the foul each time. Absolute horse shit. Then he shot a 3 and kicked his legs out like a bucking horse and they gave him 3 free throws. He missed a bunch of free throws today, which is unlike him.
I remember going to a Rockets game the last season he was here and he shot 26 free throws. 26. It was awful. It took almost 4 hours for that game to end. Fukk himComment -
Man if Zach doesn't play, I'm hammering the shit out of Cleveland. It looks like he'll be out while he'll continue to get therapy until they evaluate him next week but I've got to wait until he's out for sure. My luck, I hammer the line and he makes a miraculous recovery. This game is huge. The Cavs are 1.5 game out of 1st place.

Mac, your information is good. What people do w/ it is up to them.
Re: Zach injury, how many pts do you think he's worth?
IE, what would line be WITH Zach? Line w/o Zach?
My opinion is that Bulls will be -2 or higher, even if Zach is out.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Bulls on a 4 game losing streak. Cavs on a 5 game win streak. I'd have Cavs -3 without Lavine and +1 if he plays. He's probably worth 4 or 5 points. Books have been wrong on the Cavs most of the season. They'll probably have the Bulls favored w/o Zach.Comment -
The only game they played this year the Cavs blew the Bulls out. They didn't have Derozan. Now they won't have Lavine, so I kinda expect another double digit win.Comment -

I'm locked and loaded Chucky... I'm really thinking about hammering this play here. Bulls without Lavine and Lonzo. Caruso most likely won't play. Lockdown defender, Okoro will be defending Derozan. This team is small. They are getting killed in the paint. Now they're going up against 3 seven footers. Who is going to score for the Bulls? This line stinks IMO. Cavs win this by double digits. Hammer time.

I also hammered the Under 214.5
The Bulls have struggled from 3 a lot the last few weeks. They are not going to get a lot of points in the paint. If you can't hit 3's against the Cavs, you are not going to score a lot of points. The Cavs defense has been a bit off of late but this feels like a clamp down effort. The only thig concerning is that the Bulls on a big losing streak. This feels like a MUST win for them but the Cavs should be very thirsty to take over the Central.Comment -

Cav's have a great opportunity to take over the Central like I predicted. They have the easiest schedule in the NBA remaining.

Line is now -2.5?? I hope this is not a trap game.

Cavs are still rolling along. Tonight's game might be tough in Chicago but logic suggests you just close your eyes and take the Cavs again!!

Two more plays:
*Cavs M/L -142. 142 to win 100.
*Bulls Team Total: Under 106.5. 110 to win 100.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Man, I like that parlay. I'm wondering if I should just ML both though? Why are the Bulls only -2.5? That's scaring me a bit.
Yeah, I shouldn't overthink it. I've already hammered the Cavs. I've got about 5Gs spread out on this one already. I'm really thinking of doubling down here? Decisions, decisions. Thinking I should wait for the Cavs play one of the shit teams upcoming. Good teams/franchises are like rabid dogs especially undermanned. But how are the Bulls going to get their points? What am I missing?Comment -
Boy, you're bringing back old school. Biggest ABA Afro Hillman. Hillman got him beat right now but give Allen another year. I love the width on Allen's fro though. That is a very unique shape that is awesome.
When you mentioned Hillman, it reminded me of Hilton, Lawrence-Jacobs. I always thought he had one of the biggest fro's but I just googled him and damn, his fro can't compare. I loved Welcome Back Kotter.

I sort of wish Lonzo was PLAYING. B/c he's good for some Bricks.
You laid it out. The Injury List tells it all. Now, all we can do is Roll the Dice.
Mac, I've been (mostly) out of the game for a while. Pro sports USED TO be "reversion to the mean." Under current COVID situation, I think the roster makes average Team Value pretty irrelevant.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Damn, I just looked up Welcome Back Kotter and they people left alive are Gabe Kaplan, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and John Travolta. A bunch of them died of heart attacks and cancer around 60.
