The Las Vegas Hilton has priced the Heat at -190, while the MGM Race and Sports and Book has them at -185. The Hilton has the Bulls at +170 to win the series.

 

Both books have the Bulls favored to win the opener by 1½ points.

 

The Heat are 5-6 at the MGM, and 5-4 at the Hilton, to win the NBA championship. The Bulls are 2-1 and 5-2, respectively.

I really wish this was an afternoon game

Beer and Wine are chilling. Just waiting for my Wife to get back from her Business trip.

Man, I'm so hyped for this game. Really looking forward to see how each team defends the stars. Word is the Heat are going to throw everybody at Rose. From Wade, to Chalmers, to Bibby, to Lebron, I even heard something about Bosh trying to check him outside.

Haha to Bosh and Bibby trying to check Rose.

I'm pretty sure the only other time I've actively rooted for the Bulls was in '06 against the Heat. But that was mainly just because I wanted the Heat out of the Pistons' way, not because I totally hated the Heat or liked any of the Bulls.

 

This is going to be weird.

[hawkeyecub]

LET'S GO BULLS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until the Finals, then I hope Dirk curb stomps you

NO NOT BIBBY!!

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm roughly indifferent with a slight lean towards the Bulls. Either way, I'm going to enjoy somebody losing. (Probably the Bulls)

I'm rooting for the Bulls in this one.

I'm a Bulls fan who is very worried about this series. But I'd make that bet.

As someone who has absolutely no horse in this race, I can tell you that I and everyone I talk to wants the Bulls to destroy LeBoo and the Heat.

Anyone for a Derrick Rose led Bulls team against the Grizzlies? That would be huge story in Memphis.

David Stern won't let that matchup happen.

And he didn't. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the officiating favored OKC in that game 7.

WEIRD, AT HOME TOO, IMAGINE THAT. (we shot 23 FTs, they shot 19)

 

maybe the refs made memphis miss 53 shots?

I need to be nice now

 

no way we get past dallas, and i want no part of another heat-mavs finals debacle. Go bulls.

If that happens again, they may as well fine Cuban a couple mil in advance and not bother televising the series.

 

EDIT: Also, how does it feel to be the only team left that's beaten the Bulls this year?

[wolf stansson]

All 3 TNT guys picked us? Glad I'm not taking crazy pills with my beliefs that our strenghths match up with their weaknesses and beating Boston isn't what everyone thinks it is.

[Wilson A2000]

Totally surprised that all three TNT guys picked the Bulls. I'm going with the Heat in 7. I don't think the bench is that big of a deal in the playoffs when you use a short bench.

Tell that to the Celtics.

[SpongeWorthy]

Shut down 1 of the big 3. Don't let some random loser like James Jones go off. Win.

[Brian]

GUH SO AMPED.

[Sosa21MVP]

I guess I'd rather see the Bulls win this series although the obnoxious Bulls fan that sits across from me at work is making it hard to pull for them to advance.

[Magnetic Curses]

they really need to wash the roof of the UC, that's [expletive] embarrassing.
