edit: shooting foul for 22, there's still hope 🙂

Damn, a 30% shooter still managed to pull that off.

Love 🙂

I have no desire to repeat myself from my previous posts. The donut has stepped up and reclaimed his leadership role; honestly, you don't even miss Amar'e or Lina when they aren't there because the New York Knicks are playing such incredible basketball right now. The margin is tight, maybe just a few points. However, if he grabs 20 shots and hits the pick, I’ll be perfectly content. In these specific circumstances, I would bet on the over for a player like Anthony every single time.

👍

On top of that, he took Kevin Love in his matchup against LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Deron Williams, going over 🙂

good luck tonight 👍

Chris Bosh 🙂

He doesn't need a championship ring.🥳

All you guys talk about is rings... championships... winning it all...

Great, just great. I can already see myself sitting there at 5:00 AM, looking absolutely miserable.

Just keeping an eye on Chicago vs. Barcelona today, maybe a 50/50 split. And I need to go against Bones 😁 because honestly, every single time I follow a game, we end up losing haha.

🙂

Whatever. Since I’ll probably end up rooting for Atlanta against Barcelona, it’s going to be a pretty depressing night over here in the States. 😢

2.30 on Atlanta is a lock. The Chicago Bulls have been playing completely flat lately, lacking any real spark, and even their defense—which is usually their biggest strength—is a total mess right now. With Derrick Rose out again tonight, this 2.30 line feels like a complete gift.

The pace has been absolutely abysmal lately. It feels like nothing happens unless someone actually gets hurt, and even then, everything just crawls along at a snail's pace 🙂.

It’s a shame, really. Carlos Boozer came out strong with 6 points in those first two minutes, but then he just completely fell off. He got pulled during the third quarter and it was basically game over from there. That’s what happens when you don't commit to the defensive end and just play whenever you feel like it.

Milwaukee might scrape together 6 points here and there, but they’ve been a total disappointment to me too. They seem to have absolutely no clue what kind of identity they’re trying to build with this offense.

Is an approved change in Kenneth Davis19 possible?

No, just take a look at the first post.

Sean Sullivan87 said:What about Deng? Do you actually know how many shots Boozer takes per game on average, and what his efficiency looks like? It seems highly likely that without Rose and Hamilton, he’ll be shooting at least 30% more than usual.🤷

Plus your thoughts... can Griffin go over 21?

Thanks.

Deng has improved his shooting recently, but that shooting hand ankle injury is still an issue. I wouldn't touch him; neither the over nor the under.

As for Boozer:

Field Goals Made 7.0
Field Goals Attempted 13.1
Field Goal Percentage 53.3%

That is a solid percentage. I can see him taking around 15-17 attempts tonight, assuming there isn't any nonsense regarding foul trouble. Naturally, with Hamilton and Rose out, he's going to get plenty of opportunities to exceed those margins.

I have no idea about Griffin; I haven't been following the Western Conference much lately. I would recommend taking the over on Deron, just as Nicholas Chase34 argued.

Additionally, Lin is out for the Knicks

#Knicks starters: Baron Davis, Iman Shumpert, Landry Fields, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler.

Tina Cervasio

Amar'e's MRI shows a bulging disc... he's OUT indefinitely.

A massive blow for the Knicks.

Boozer over 16.5.

With neither Rose nor Hamilton available for another night, our dear Boozer is going to have to dig deep and tap into that interior presence he keeps tucked away—the version of him that doesn't go out looking for fouls like some frantic amateur, but rather the one who nails those beautiful lob shots with effortless precision.

I am also expecting a Bulls loss.

Furthermore, I'm taking Milwaukee +6.5. This matchup between the two teams sitting at 8th and 9th in the East is absolutely massive for determining who ultimately grabs that final ticket into the playoffs.

And he’s shooting 1-for-7 from the field. It is genuinely laughable at this point.

Chicago is still playing without Rose and Hamilton. Toronto absolutely tore through the Knicks last night. My only hesitation is seeing Calderon log over 45 minutes of play, but even so, a 12-point spread feels excessive to me. The Bulls have had three days of rest; they could easily come out looking sluggish or just completely unmotivated tonight.

EDIT: DeRozan and Bayless are injured. Forget what I said. It’s better to take the under 85.5 for Toronto.

🙂

Changing your mind sucks. 🙂

Chicago is still playing without Rose and Hamilton. Meanwhile, Toronto absolutely dismantled the Knicks last night. My only real concern is that Calderon logged over 45 minutes, but even so, a 12-point spread feels way too wide to me. The Bulls had three days of rest; they could easily come out looking sluggish or just completely unmotivated tonight.

EDIT: DeRozan and Bayless are both out with injuries. Forget my previous thought—better to take the under 85.5 for Toronto.

Mark Williams15 said:NOTHING. I’m following this Lakers handicap too. If Clint Eastwood put that much money on it, then I guess I have to play along. Honestly, I don't care. I just spent everything at a club with a girl earlier, so even if I lose again, I'm still feeling good. What do you think, Arthur Hill2?

I’m telling you, it’s total chaos. Bosh is completely falling apart. He misses six shots in the first quarter alone, then I manage to sink one in the second and third. By pure luck, I managed to score once on a girl, once more later... honestly, Milwaukee just makes it look routine.

Good evening. Bosh is playing predictably tonight, sitting at 0-4 from two-point range.

EDIT: Now it's 1-6, totaling 6 points. It is quite obvious the Heat developed a specific strategy for this matchup, looking to exploit Bosh repeatedly in the post.

Allen is out for Boston.

Pierce is shooting 4-4 for 11 points.
