The Bulls got the snot knocked out if them. I like to bet on the team who loses their high profile player. The line bloats disproportionately creating value for the other team players who step up in such an absence to prove that they are not a one man team. But it's dangerous when that team is playing another team (generally of lesser record) who also has something to prove. Looks like Minny came to play today instead of letting down because of the big star absences on the Bulls. Bad play by me.
Something ridiculous has happened (and believe me I could type about these games for an hour) in the last 5 Bulls-Wolves games, and MIN has covered them all. Usually the FIX involves MIN ending the game on a 12-0 tye run to Cover, or some OT Bullshit. At least this time the Bulls had the courtesy to lay down before the game. Unlike the Spurs yesterday. Fuck the NBA.
Mich if I wasn't so tired right now I'd post you a detailed recap of the previous 5 MIN-CHI games. The MIN scoring tears at key points in these games are alien to normality.
As a summary I will say that in MIN's last 2 visits to CHI the Bulls blew 20+ point leads, and in one of those games MIN won the OT by a 9-0 score. The previous game was Tibb's return to CHI and the Bulls blew a 21 point lead.
Last year in MIN the Bulls were outscored 12-0 in the last 3 minutes of the game to get MIN the Cover.

TOR tanks more games vs CHI than CHI tanks vs MIN ..... The Series is a complete disgrace of bogus Bull's Covers:

South of the Mason-dixon there is usually a goat involved. North of that line it's a driveby.
