PG: Back with a Vengeance

I’m as bummed as anyone about this loss but this was a good litmus test. The Bulls are where Masai wants us to get to (contenders, play-in) and we still have a little bit of a ways to go to get to that level. Give this team a couple years to build chemistry, maybe trade for a win-now piece or two and we’re right there.

We go from getting 40 points from Boucher, Brown, Olnyk bench to back to playing the rooks, and IQ/Dick...

Hmmmm

I think Chicago should keep Vuc if they don't get a first for him. Sell LaVine any chance they get. Push for play in and get their FRP back for next season.

Matt and Alvin not even mentioning Boucher is conspicuous. There must be something in play.

Opponents until the all star break: Clips, Knicks, Grizz, Thunder, Rockets, Sixers (with embiid maybe), Cavs.

Get used to the L's everyone

Boucher will be missed

He's the only one who brings energy, and tonight the team looked completely lethargic and lifeless

this was a tough one but I'm confident we bounce back. Gradey was on fire from 3 to end the game, so lots to build on as well. Let's Go Raptors!!!!

My joy has been restored.
Need a 10 game losing streak to balance out those wins

I think if they play the same lineups that they had been playing during the win streak, they win this one.

If healthy & Darko was coaching to win all season, this team has a better record than the Bulls.

Looking like an 0-Feb coming.

I'm one of few that want boucher traded

Darko is going to make me dislike Gradey by starting him and playing him when he seems to have issues with fundamentals

Johnny Bball · Post #19 » by **Johnny Bball** » Sat Feb 1, 2025 3:09 am

Doesn't matter who they sat and played, if that lineup isn't enough to beat the Bulls at home, then this team obviously shouldn't be trying to put the pedal down.

Interesting take. Where are the gradey defenders come out to play.
