Game Thread #77: Bulls at Toronto Raptors

And I am sick of hearing about how the Raptors are the "most dangerous young team in the East."

glad to hear everyone is healthy

If i remember correctly, Luc and MJ retired on the same day....not sure which retirement though

why did they toss mo pete

The Calderon got a technical for commenting on the intial call.

I'm rolling my eyes if you can't notice.

The interior players aren't really fighting for position either, so the chances of an offensive rebound are pretty low.

We are giving away the focking two seed with the sh*t performance against an inferior team.

Toronto is not good, but the Bulls are making them look that way with stupid plays.

Put your cocksucking scorers in the game. All of them.

And now he fouls Bosh.

How many times?

Skiles should horsewhip someone after this game.

Rather, because in the third quarter, when we had a double digit lead, we (a) turned the ball over; and (b) committed assinine fouls that put Toronto on the line.

We may have just blown the two seed through our own sheer indolence.

Not to mention, should we hang onto the two seed, we have a decent chance of facing these Raptors in the second round.

Nice job, guys.

I think the bulls will be fine, Washington is pretty much a sure thing and the Bulls can beat the other three easily.

Jeez.  That third quarter was not very Appalachian State.  I started screaming, "Someone make a shot!"  Bulls went 5/18, even though a lot of them were good looks.  The low-point, if you could pick one, was when Duhon bricked two free throws.  The whole team went ice cold and couldn't hit, and the defense did not pick up the slack on the other end.  Toronto played like they had more riding on this game.  I'm not sure they did, but that's sure how it looked.

But hey, Bobcats win, Cavs lose.  So it's not such a bad day.  We just need Philly to come back in the second half now.  The big question is, are we sure we want to face Toronto in the playoffs instead of Miami?

If the Bulls can win the last four, they get 50 wins, and 31-10 at home.  I think that will happen.  This team has generally played extremely well after bad losses, and we get the Knicks in town on Tuesday (after they host the Pistons tomorrow).  That sets up for a strong finish.  Win  the rest and #2 is ours.  I don't think Cleveland's gonna lose either, so the team has to shake this one off and win the rest.

It's only good if we hold onto the two seed.

If we fall to fifth, Miami's loss is terrible for us.
