If you click on the link on the home page, you get the home team theme, which happens to be Bulls. If you click on the game thread FROM THE RAPTORS FORUM/TEAM page, you get Raptors theme.</p>

Make sense?</p>

</p>

</div></p>

It does make sense but it's not working. I went to the Raps forum, entered this thread, then changed the slogan. That should mean that it changes in the Raps forum but it looks like it's done it in the Bulls forum.</p>

I didn't go to the Bulls forum by accident, I went through my favourites.</p>

Analysis, SST?</div></p>

I'm sorry DC, if that was directed at me, I'm not sure what it means...I've had a few beers and may not be my sharpest but I swear I know the difference between a Bull and a Raptor.</p>

Toronto's bench has more offensive talent than our starters.</p>

I predict it's only a matter of time before Wallace is benched or perhaps bought out like Chris Webber. No he's not the cause of all our problems, but Noah, Smith, Nocioni, and maybe Gray are just better at this point, and clearly this team doesn't have any room for error.</p>

</div></p>

I'm not sure that would solve anything, really. The Bulls are really playing 3 on 5 on offense, and they'd still be if the cut Wallace. </p>

</div></p>

Well, I might be giving too much credit to Gray or Smith, but at least they can hit a jumper. And perhaps our guards wouldn't get doubled or trapped off every pick and roll.</p>

So... last year we started out 3-9, but our point differential was actually decent. We had some huge blowout wins against Miami and Milwaukee and several close losses against rough competition that kept us afloat.</p>

For me, this blowout loss confirms that this year's team just isn't very good and won't be competitive until there's a lineup change. Our schedule has been easy and our point differential is awful.</p>

This DC/MikeDC stuff might become confusing.</p>

I like that the team slogan changed.</p>

CHICAGO (Ticker) - Carlos Delfino scored 16 points to lead sixplayers in double figures as the Toronto Raptors rolled to a101-71 victory over the struggling Chicago Bulls on Saturdaynight.


Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani both netted 14 points and T.J.Ford dished out 14 assists for the Raptors, who had lost15 of their previous 17 meetings in the series.


The Raptors held a 30-26 edge with two minutes to play in thefirst half before breaking the game open with an 11-4 surge tograb a 41-30 advantage at halftime.


Toronto started the third quarter just like it ended the firsthalf, opening with an impressive 14-1 run to push the advantageto 55-31 with 8:58 left and never looked back.


That run broke Chicago's back as Toronto went on to outscore theBulls, 36-13, en route to creating a 77-43 bulge heading to thefourth.


Andres Nocioni led the way for Chicago with 20 points off thebench.


The setback was disappointing for coach Scott Skiles and theBulls, who picked up their lone win of the season against theDetroit Pistons on Thursday.


With the contest out of hand, Skiles benched all of his startersfor the remainder of the night with just 9:35 left in the thirdperiod.

It must be true, SportsTicker just confirmed it.</div> lol.</p>

The back-to-back was a nice getaway from the ACC, where strangely it seems the team has struggled this season. The Raps don't play again till Wednesday when thye host Utah before Indy and GS on the weekend. This is a big chance for Toronto to get back on track in the competitive Atlantic.</p>

Boston beat Jersey and remain the only undefeated team in the league, NJ fails to 4-2.</p>

Seems like a lot of time off now. Bulls fans, we'll see you at the end of the month.</p>
