My over could offset my game play on the Bulls since the first half was a loser the question is can theyc ome back in this one?
This may be bias because I liked the Bulls all along but the Cavs have trouble shooting free throws which means that if this one gets close to the cover than the Bulls may get some late breaks with miss ed FT's, but not sure if it will matter. The Cavs are shooting 56% to the Bulls 52% but my concern is the board work as the Cavs are winning that war as very evident by the last possession of the half....still looking at the line moving up then down...

G/L TO US SCOOP..I think Chicago wins the game..I'm more worried about the +4 than I am the Bulls come back..Took the 4 cuz I think we'll see it around 3-6...Hoping Bulls miss FT's like they did against DET.
SORRY sCooP BAD BEAT ON BOTH ENDS...
0.2 SECS LEFT AND THEY FOUL...ONLY REASON FOR THAT IS TO COVER THE HT SPREAD...NOW WE KNOW WHY IT WAS 3.5 AND NOT 2.5-3..UNfokinREAL

That ranks right up there with one of the worst beats of my life. Had Chicago -3 in 2h. All they had to do was lose by 2 or less for the win, 3 for the push. Four point lead with about a minute to go and they give up 8 straight points, and as was said before a ridiculous foul call with .2 seconds left. Seeing more and more of those meaningless fouls called at the end of games with covers in doubt. Not a conspiracy theorist at all but that's getting old.
And note to the Bulls... you may as well just take Gordon out at the end of ball games. One of the biggest late game chokers I've seen.

Oh and forgot to mention that Gordon and Hinrich couldn't make a shot at the end of regulation for the cover either. Not to mention Pavlovic missing a layup at the buzzer as well. What an unreal beat.
I'm tired of seeing it every single day, every single sport almost every single line thats' made lands within the number...Not a conspiracy person myself however I do think there is "MORE" and they know" SOMETHING" That NONE of US will EVER know...Who The hell knows...G/L to the both of you for rest of the night..I got College Hoops and I'll be back tomorrow for a little more NBA...
0.2 SECS left and THEY FOUL? MY High School Basketball coach would of knocked me upside my head and said.."Whatya think ya doing son? You think your gonna fly to the basket and get 4 points after he hits his FT's All you did was raise our PA avg!" Maybe he doesn't know anything after all since he's coaching High School Ball and these guys are "professionals"

I don't blame the players for fouling as much as I do the refs for calling it. I think it's instinctual for a player to foul in that situation because they probably don't know that there's only .2 left. Who knows, maybe Hinrich thought there was 2 or 3 seconds left. Then you have the scenario that if Hughes misses a FT they still have the ol' heave-ho option. I just can't believe the ref would call the foul. 9 times out of 10 they let it go because the game is over. Maybe he didn't know the clock either, but I bet he felt like a total dumbazz when he looked up and saw .2 on the clock. Should have swallowed the whistle on that one.
