Raps are 27-24. Bulls are 28-23. I think Bulls lost 3 in a row. Raps won 5 in a row, but lost against the pistons yesterday. I think Raps can take the Bulls. They came very close to the Pistons yesterday. They led by 12 at some point, but Rasheed was unstoppable. I think we can take this game. But Raps are on the road again...but I still feel they can take this game easily.Is Ben Gordon the only threat? I haven't watched the Bulls in a while.Edit: the Bulls are beating the Suns by 6 right now..I guess it's because Nash isn't playing.
Well I would give the edge to the Raptors as they have been hot as of late but the Bulls are playing at home where they are very good. Ben Gordon is a threat but he has been struggling as of late....ever heard of Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich. They have both been playing well as of late and those 3 are really putting it together.
Well, the Bulls have had our number lately. I think our last win against them was like 2-3 years ago or something. They've just owned us in the past few years. But I think we've got a really good shot at this. We are playing good basketball right now. Our defense is alot better than what it was last year, and Chris Bosh (besides game vs. Pistons) has been unbelievable. If our offense can get it going, and if Gordon has a bit of an off-night, I think we can take this...
This game should be winnable for us. It's like beating the Lakers and Wizards. Hopefully the tough lost in Detroit didn't make them lose hope in this season. But the Bulls have always played well against the Raptors, but it's a whole new team since the beginning of the season. So anything can happen. I don' want to see a game of 2 losing streaks.
The Bulls really havent been as hot of late, if we win this game, our record will like somewhat identical (28-24) vs. (29-24) If the raptors pull out a win. I think Calderon and Bosh should be involved more in the games, and so shoud Bargnani, I think its key that we shut down their main offense, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, and we do a decent job running off the screens around Ben Wallace a major defensive threat.

That's ridiciolous they are the best team in the East and they just didn't have a good game.

And I don't want them to get discouraged that that's going to happen come playoff time and make them lose confidence. And they're the runner up best in the East to the Pistons.
The bulls arent struggling that badly, theyve been playing in close games and they are coming off the suns game with good momentum (29 pts for hinrich, deng, gordon each). I dont expect the Bulls win huge but I think they will win, especially at home.
Holy Sh*t. I was going to piss my pants. Literrally. But really, I have to say Tryus Thomas really lost the game for the Bulls. He had the obvious foul on Chris Bosh at the end. Real bad play, but Bosh was going to lay it up anyways, so it was smart to foul, but I would have done it harder. The Raptors however, really got to comfortable late, and blew a 110-100 lead. I guess that is just something we have to improve on.
Can you honestly say that was Tyrus Thomas fault? It woulda been an easy basket if he didnt foul. And its not like you autmoically think to go for the foul when you are tyrus thomas who loves to block people. He already blocked it once that play why not try again? Honestly, thats real dumb if you think he shoulda fouled hard isntead of go for the block. And I dont know what they were saying on the Toronto TV but the chicago announcers clearly pointed out the foul occured at 3.7 seconds and the time went down to 2.1 seconds somehow...The Raptors probably deserved the win more because they outplayed the Bulls for about 40 minutes but I still think alot of this loss was a fuckup by the refs with the time messup.

That was obviously a catch 22 situation, but it makes sense to take the risk, because Bosh could miss one right? But anyways, its a real fast decision, I dont think he really has time to think.
Holy sh*t. I was nervous as hell at the end. I thought the game was over, but then Bosh gets the foul and shoots 2. Man, awesome game. NJ lost!28-24 Raps!
That was a nailbitter till the end! I dont know why Mitchell would take out Calderon and put in Ford when we were doing so good with Jose on the floor. Also can someone tell me why Tyrus Thomas was on the floor for like the entire fourth quarter??
lol this is Raps vs Bulls not Raps vs Nets. But Ya I read his mouth when they showed it on tv. He's just jealous that he never got that chant when he was with us and doesn't want to hear another boo that makes him struggle.
