Is -2 a trap here? Chicago has screwed me all season and I've lived here my whole life. They screwed my against orlando and NO at the UC but they play like shit out of it.

The UC aside, I'll still take Boston -2. Not sure about o/u though.

Bulls +2

This is a big trap, Boston has blown them out 6 str8 and 7-0 ats.

this line is screamin' to take the champs. i think the irish lose on St partrick's day.

Boston is starting to suffer from all their injuries. Bulls have been on fire at home lately.

The bulls are playing well and are at home getting 2.  The Celtics are coming off a though and hard loss against a team that needed to win in order to stay in playoff contention.  Well here you go again, another team playing for that same 8th seed.  I expect the Bulls to come out playing hard D.  This is a test for Celtics and I like my chances witht he Champs.  + It's ST. Patty's day..lol

Celtics by 7

I'm going Celtics. How often do they lose 2 in a row against teams like the Bucks and Bulls?

If it looks too good to be true fellas it usually is and though the Celts being banged up the way the Bulls have been playing all year anyone would still think this line should be a little more than a basket especially Joey Bag O Doughnuts. U know what he and many others are gonna do once they see the reigning champs only favored by a basket, thats when I'll be cashing in with CHI +1.5

The Line is Screaming out Take CHICAGO. 2 games in a Row they are +2. I find that a trap showing that they did it against NO and now they can do it against the Champs...NOt sure about all that. You have the champs coming into Chicago, Boston off a tough lost to MIL. Look for Boston to be fired up and ready to prove why there ready to roll. Team should be motivated there Captain should be back this friday according to ESPN. I look for this team to step it up and put the 8 seed in there place. Also Note Clev and Orlando are playing tonite. Boston can take advantage of a Victory here bc one of those 2 Elite teams has to loose tonite...Let me know what you guys think. GL

-1.5 Boston

thats why the spread is -1.5 if boston were playing as it should, the spread will be at least -7.

dude - didnt we go through this once before?  are you really that unappreciated in the real world that you (a 45 year old man) needs to steal picks from others and act like they are "inside information" plays?

you're a clown - someone at sbr pm'd me that you were back to stealing cocknockers picks again.  sure enough, your not even re-wording them now!  just a straight copy and paste job.

you're so sad.
