Would you believe it, straight out of Jurassic Park are some prehistoric creatures that have invited us into their lair. These creatures seem harmless enough as we have spanked them 3 times so far this season. This one has the feel of a playoff game. I can feel the energy!


What exactly is a Raptor? According to Wikipedia:

Velociraptor (/v?'l?s?ræpt?r/; meaning "swift seizer")[1] is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 75 to 71 million years ago during the later part of the Cretaceous Period.[2] Two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past. The type species is V. mongoliensis; fossils of this species have been discovered in Mongolia. A second species, V. osmolskae, was named in 2008 for skull material from Inner Mongolia, China.

Or is a Raptor just a ride at Cedar Point?


Or a toy truck for kids?


Or just the name of a team that is going to end up with the Bulls foot up their [Shush Yo' Mouf]!!!


In any event, I ain't afraid of no Raptor. Let's get it on!

Probable Lineup:
PG: Aaron Brooks vs. PG: Greivis Vasquez
SG: Jimmy Butler vs. SG: Demar DeRozan
SF: Mike Dunleavy vs. SF: Terrence Ross
PF: Pau Gasol vs. PF: Amir Johnson
C : Joakim Noah vs. C : Jonas Valanciunas

UNLEASH THE BULL!!!!


Good Luck Charm:

You can't win against the Bulls defense with 1-on-1. Jimmy owns Derozan. They're a good home team, but we should be fine. I exepct them to focus more on Noah.

without ever really thinking about it this is how i feel about their team as a whole. They have some nice pieces and good athleticism all around but they play sub par team basketball on both sides.

If we win this game we sweep the series, which is a difficult thing to do vs one of the better eastern conference teams.

Hope Lowry is healthy for the playoffs. I think Tor needs to play it safe and give him as much rest as possible, if he is limited in the first round and they happen to play Wash or Mia it just might be another first round exit for them.

woah that good luck charm. when does Rose come back?

edit Lowry out? GG I guess...

[maynardo]

Bulls should beat the crap outta Toronto, they have their number. Only posible problems are over confidence and/or Toronto having a crazy hot shooting night from 3.

Lowry won't play and DeRozan is not really a problem when you have Jimmy.

[kdapiton]

Let's keep winning. It'd be nice to string in the Ws as we get healthier and healthier.

[D_GoLow]

Nice work on the game thread!

Game 1 of the playoffs.

[Tetlak]

Was totally expecting to see an actual photo when I scrolled to Derozan. He's dino like in ugliness.

[6_Rings]

We Own the North

[RememberLu]

Lowry out again? He left game yesterday with back spasms

Raptors won't want to play if he's out, just like last time

[WIN]

We Are The Midwest

[Mr Funk]

Going to the game tonight. Will proudly wear my Bulls shirt. We can own them on the glass, contain DeRozan and get the win.

I will also boo Drake.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 22m22 minutes ago
Noah scheduled to play vs. Raptors.

[Payt10]

I'm assuming Lowry is out again?

[MC3]

Gasol? I hope he is resting.

[jc23]

I think James Johnson has a impactful game tonight.
