Celtics @ Chicago

Does eight seem high to anyone else? I suppose this is an indicator Rose is in the lineup tonight? If so... Maybe the line is a favorable one as the Celtics don't play well away from Boston.

Bulls hung around the whole game last Sunday with a sub performance without Rose.

I don't have any stats in front of me- just wanted to hear some .

If Rose plays, they blast the Celtics. shouldnt be close IMO.

I'm taking a look at the under in this one. @ of the better defensive teams facing off.

My initial lean was on the Celtics, but I don't feel that confident about it.

the Celtics might not be able to score 50 lol and I dont think that is being a stretch

I'm sorry but that's absurd, not even a good joke. (celtics fan) But really, I feel like they should definitely come to play tonight after dropping last night to the Pistons... Pierce and Ray were high ineffective and really didn't look that interested in the game. I look for a bounce back game for sure (hopefully KG plays).

If KG plays I lean slightly to the under, but if he's out I think both teams play somewhat uptempo and turn towards the over...

Does anyone have insight if Rose and Garnett will be in tonights line up?

Rose warmed up in morning shootaround on Thursday and will receive treatment before the game, according to Nick Friedell of ESPNChicago.com, and the reigning league MVP told Aggrey Sam of CSN Chicago he is a game-time decision.

Although the Chicago Bulls are calling Derrick Rose's status for Thursday's showdown with the Boston Celtics a game-time decision, Rose admitted all he did at the morning shootaround was shoot free throws.

"I wasn’t able to run any," Rose said.

Don't know if I can risk -8 not knowing if Rose is playing...

The under is looking much more promising.
