WASHINGTON WIZARDS PLUS 4 VS. CHICAGO BULLS

After easily WINNING my only bet yesterday with the CELTICS, I am looking for another team who appears to be stronger than the oddsmakers may be giving them credit for...

And today, the WASHINTON WIZARDS PLUS 4 vs. the Chicago Bulls fits the bill for me and here's why...

1- WASHINGTON is a LIVE DOG who may not only COVER, but can certainly WIN outright, as they have done 4 out of the past 5 times these two teams have met. This year, the WIZARDS won 2 out of 3 against the Bulls, including a WIN over them just 11 days ago when there was still something to play for...

2- It's been 8 long years since Chicago has been involved in post season play, and to make matters worse for them, they are a very young team. On the other hand, WASHINGTON is the more mature team, and they have several players on their squad who have played in the post season before with other teams...

3- WASHINGTON was the number 1 offensive rebounding team this year, so in what should be a very physical game, I expect the Wizards to dominate the Offensive boards today, as they have all season.

4-INJURY?- Chicago's TYSON CHANDLER injured his ankle and had to sit out the last game the Bulls played. How effective he will be today remainds to be seen.

In a game that I believe clearly can go either way, I recommend taking the WIZARDS PLUS 4 POINTS...

I may be back later with another play if I bet the game...

Best of Luck,

THE SHRINK

I am taking a small bet on this because I will be more than happy to lose this bet, being a Bulls fan. Heres to the Bulls winning by 1-3.:toast:

Remember that Mill gave out Washington as part of their double play pack yesterday with BOOOOston. Shrink claimed that Mill came in a bit late with Celtics after he had already made the call on Boston...we'll see today as Mill made the call on Washington and the post before the Shrink

Agree completely. Wizards simply have much more talent than the bulls, especially with Curry and Deng out of the picture.

Well I am going with Da Bulls. Everything will be posted in the NBA Forum. Back where I fit in. Back water pond.

Couple of interesting stats.

Wizards closed 2-9 ATS L11, while Bulls went 9-2 ATS L11.

Bulls lead league in defensive FG% 42.2% overall, 41.5% at home.

Wizards defenseless bunch allowing 47% on road, and an ugly 103 ppg.

Wizards basically started out strong and collapsed down the stretch. Bulls started out horrible, and closed strong. They also closed well without Curry or Deng.

Best Wishes...OF:digit:

Wizards allow an ugly 103 ppg on the road, again. Back to reality with your 1 game winning streak The SHRINK. Wizards now 2-10 ATS L12 and Da Bulls a sweet 10-2 ATS last 12. Gave you false confidence yesterday. Took that back quick. I will limit the gloat posts to this one.

Better luck next time The SHRINK, unless you bought 5 points...OF:howdy:

Just an amazing collapse the last 6 minutes by the Wizards. I went with you on the +4 and had OVER 99 in the 2nd so all I needed was Washington to score 18 4th qtr points to assure no worse than a split and I get a 12 point Washington 4th and lose both the +4 game bet and the OVER 99 2nd half bet. Washington 2 points the last 5 minutes.:sad3:

Congrats OF...:103631605

Nicely done...

Round 3 to be continued....

THE SHRINK

I always welcome the challenge. You are still winning the tie breaker, MOV. Cannot wait for round #3. I think we may agree on a few sooner than later. I really do not feel like taunting you or Betmill. It is too early to jump up and down and pound my chest.
