Easy win for us :P

(just kidding, I think there's a decent chance we lose this one. Butler and Taj are still rounding into form, our PG rotation is still Brooks + Hinrich, Snell has been invisible lately...)

How many dunks/layups will the Raps give up by fronting down low when Noah is operating in the high post? I have the conservative estimate set at infinity.

You underestimate your bench players going off for 30 points against us.

This GT thread has some pure gems. It's like interviewing Titanick's passengers after they watched the movie and yet still climbing on a ship.
In last 17 we are 5-12.
In the beautiful months of February and March we are 9-14.
Just recently Raptors played Bulls, Thibs didn't even get pink in the face. I said before - good teams beat Raptors without even trying.
So, just get ready for another painful experience for the brain and eyes. I'm going to learn so much from Casey, can't wait for the game.

Chuck Swirsky thinks that the Raptors will be hungry for a victory in this game. He couldn't be more wrong lol.

Damn; please do the gts for the rest of the season and playoffs. Rather have some laugh before I see the team falter in the clutch

Your the hero RGM needs right now


I will try, but Imma put a personal bet on this game, a win here i keep going! A loss here i will take an immediate short break and return in game 1.



I'm going in on that bet.

A loss and no posting until game 1.

Get ready for another butt whopping unless raps play with intensity and really take them seriously, just feels like raps fold up whenever they face the bulls. It's annoying watching other teams outwork us and then on the other end, they defend and execute a lot better as well because of their system. It's really a broken record now, unless they play to our strengths which we hardly do for an entire game and play really hard on both ends, it'll be another L. If the players aren't playing smart, the coach ain't helping either.

Story of the season according to Casey " Win or lose, its just 1 out of 82". Yeah, keep saying that until you get to the playoffs and lose in the first round, it's just 1 out of 7 games etc, smh, dumb team. The problem is, we're not that bad and we're not amazing either but our team isn't playing to their potential and that's what pisses me off.

I don't know, the Bulls can surprise you. I mean they did blow a 19 point lead in Detroit and lost by like 16.

It's not a matter of whether we'll win or lose this game but rather how deep of an embarrassing effort will we show tonight

Note the score and time on the clock:

"In my 17 years, it was one of the dumber fouls I've ever seen," Nowitzki said in a matter-of-fact tone. "You wait all the way until he dribbles to the 3-point line to grab him, so that's obviously a tough one, tough play. I saw coach [Tom] Thibodeau was just shaking his head."
