Game #52, 14 February 2007
Toronto Raptors [27-24] @ Chicago Bulls [29-23]
8:30 PM EST, The Score, Fan590.com
United Center, Chicago, IL

The Bulls are back in Chicago and that's good news, as they went 3-for-7
on their latest road trip. The United Center has been a safe harbor for
the baby Bulls as they are one of the strongest home teams in the NBA.
On Tuesday they face the visiting Raptors who, despite losing in Detroit
on Saturday, are 4-of-5 on the month. The Bulls boast a perplexing 14-
game winning streak against the dinos, dating back to very early 2002.
Prior to that the Raptors had a long winning streak of their own. The
Bulls won a 93-90 game against the Raps in December, paced by Luol
Deng's 25 point effort. Chris Bosh clashed knees with Big Ben Wallace in
that contest and subsequently sat out a dozen games with swelling. The
Bulls defeated the Bosh-less Raptors later that month at the Air Canada
Centre, 107-97, with Luol Deng leading the way again with 25 points. The
Raptors are long overdue for a win over the Bulls and hope to make this
short week a successful one with another win Wednesday when they host
the rival Nets. The game tips at 8:30 EST on The Score and the Fan590.com.

The Bulls are that one team that own us. Whether its Andres Nocioni,Hinrich,Gordon,Deng or Duhon we are never able to shut them down. If the Raps win this game,it will prove that we are a contender in the east. If we can pull this one off it will give us crazy momentum going into a must win game vs New Jersey. Btw what was Tyrus Thomas thinkin when he razored his head, he looks horrrrible.

I agree on every part of that post

Time to break that 15-game losing streak against the Bulls!

Or you know, at least try to anyway.

I will be very happy if we can win the next two. A win over Chicago ends the losing drought and a win over NJ is a much needed one over a division rival.

Let's hope for the best.

Why do the Bulls always own us? The last time I remember the Raptors beating them was when Tmac flushed all over Kornel David.

i think we can do it if our D is tight,

the other night the Bulls shot lights out because the Suns just give them too much space, Raps need to keep everyone close to their man and make them go for layups, no open shots unless it's Ben Wallace

but the Raptors should easily win if they feed Bosh and the big men down low, im pretty sure El Mago can dunk over Ben and PJ is just too slow on the D,

please Bosh just shoot over them or go for dunks non stop

Awesome, just awesome.
If we're to prove that we're a team to be taken seriously, we need to start winning these type of games. It's time that we not only win games that we're supposed to, but win the ones we're supposedly outmatched.

i think the last time we actually beat them was when an undermanned squad took them out, possibly in OT. led by alvin and JYD. both had over 30 i think. not really sure...seems like a lifetime ago.

crimedog · 02-13-2007, 10:55 AM

as per nets forum, kidd is out two games with a back strain. that makes this game all the bigger. if we can get a win tonight, we will have a winnable game at home to close out the first half of the season tomorrow.

**ballocks** · 02-13-2007, 11:16 AM

15 games? that's insane. i don't know how it ever got that long, especially considering that the bulls haven't exactly been a dominant team over that period. just insane. we need to stop wasting all these games against chicago due to this distraction hanging over us. it's stupid, no more and no less. let's put it away for once and for all and start fresh.

peace
