NBA Playoffs Thursday [B]734 Chicago +3.5[/B]
It's hard to believe we are betting against the two best teams here in the NBA, but this is the spot. The Bulls were very competitive in Game Two and with a couple of rebounds should have snatched a rare road win vs. Lebron and the Cavs. The Bulls in their last two home games defeated the Celtics and Cavs with their backs against the wall just to get into the playoffs. Now, with the series on the line we expect them to have the supreme effort and come away with a win.
[B]736 Oklahoma City -3[/B]
This line is climbing fast!
Again with the series on the line, we are banking on the 0-2 team. At 0-2 a loss here spells doom, you simply are not coming back from an 0-3 deficit. The Thunder narrowly lost 95-92 in Game Two and if you watched that game it was clear Durrant and Co. are not far behind from making a major dent in the league and this series. The Lakers have not played well down the stretch and this series should be 1-1.
So, tonight in a huge emotional setting, the Oklahoma City Thunder host's their very first ever NBA playoff game. Home court has to be worth extra and nothing less than a stellar win will suffice.
