Gotta love the fight by Toronto. Dorsey, Davis playing the best I've seen them. Goes to show the preparation in practice. Young players always gotta make the most out of your time, and these guys are. Let's go Raps, 2:38 take it to the wire!
Bulls win 110-93. First 7 game winning streak since 2008. I am impressed with the fight of the young raptor team in the 4th quarter. Played each possession as if the game was in doubt.
Game over. The 4th Q was the best part and the Raps should take that from this game at least. We'll get you guys next time
boozer 34 pts 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and a block in just 26 minutes. Rose 11 assists, but he had 5 turnovers
I was close I like Ed Davis. They're stuck with Bargnani , but if they're stuck with him , then Davis is a nice fit Deng would also be a great fit for this team but no way I trade Deng ... a guy who I think could be a great fit for them and who maybe could be had would be Boris Diaw I wonder if a Diaw/Henderson/Livingston swap for Calderon/Derozan/Wright would interest both teams The biggest thing the Raps need to do IMO is change their identity from being a high scoring shoot em up team and get some defenders in there who are accountable RAPS Bargnani / Dorsey Johnson/Davis Diaw / Kleiza/Wright Weems / Henderson Bayless/Livingston BOBS Mohammed/Diop Wallace/Thomas Jackson/Najera Derozan/Carroll Augustin/Calderon
Nice game from Rose. His hand isn't there yet so he just passes the ball and picks apart the Toronto defense through his teammates. I also like how he's getting more aggressive on the defensive end. If Rose wanted to, he could be a quicker version of Rajon Rondo. I really liked some of the defense the Bulls played with the exception of Boozer. Every time there is a breakdown he has something to do it. I worry that he's not conducive to winning in a playoff series, when teams can focus on him, as good as his offense has been. Other than that, Brewer and Deng both had good games. Deng seems to have found his niche with Boozer back.
DeMar is gonna be a much better player than Diaw so that trade is horrible. No Bargs tonight and that hurt. Plus Bayless / Livingston is even worse than Jose/Bayless. We do need better defenders, but we have the team and the type of young talent that can be developed in to defenders. You just need a coaching willing and able to preach & practice defense.
