The situational play with Chicago Bulls...December 2nd and 3rd...

B.A.R., how many more situations like this do you have in your schedule for this season? Anyway, Chicago lost first game off 4+ road trip and according to Betcrimes teams losing first game also lose second game in like 61% clip, which alone is great. This season it is 4-0, this game being the fifth. Variance is about to hit hard :)

I gotta take a quick call but as far as each normal road-trip please always reference BC stats for that. The guy is just a machine when it comes to that type of stuff.
 
Back to the original question.

That is it for this year.

8 years ago we had 4 of these situations and went 7-1(the loss was the last one, if I remember correctly, that '06 Suns team @ Sacto).

They are rare now.

Now, there are a few similar but they involve 4 game trips and less travel. Obviously you look at that situationally but otherwise I would not blindly bet like I do here...
 
Here is the Phoenix Example from 2006: (Just for fun)

Not factoring in the situation, the Bulls are 15-0 SU (10-5 ATS) when favored on the road off a home loss (4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS off an OT game in the same spot).

In saying that, agree it's Hornets or no play.

GL BAR.
 
Thanks em and all.


Total has dipped too, which is good, IMO.


Looks like game is on NBA TV so hold your nose and enjoy....


Leggo Hornets:cheers3:

This season there are only two more situations where a team is coming off a 5 game trip and split the next two games in two days between home and road again. No more than that. Too bad.
 
Shoulda waited. Popped 3.5 now. Odd that rose and Noah only add a .5? (Sarcasm)

Books already factored 'situation' into the line given Thibs said yesterday that Rose would play regardless.

If the Bulls weren't the most resilient team in the NBA right now, I'd be all over Charlotte. If it pops to 4 though I might reconsider.

'Public' consensus on the Bulls too which is always a good sign.

Again, good luck fellas.
 
lance stephenson is a straight clown... down 5 with a min and he takes a fade away 3..... he is the worst no wonder indy let him go
 
That's a gut check road win for Chicago. I don't care who opponent is and we had chances. Early 3rd and early 4th were killers.
 
seems that the props for 1st and 2nd quarter favored the bucks, more than the hornets, easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, of course...but might be something to explore ....down the road
 
Cant we play Utah Jazz tonight?

Miami does not fit this?

5 road games, 1 home game L (chicago) , 1 road game W yesterday(crooklyn ), now back home

Or was the game against Chicago missed? Which I bolded above

The Brooklyn game would have had to have been on the 15th...

That would have made the 14th and 15th plays against Miami...
