Mo needs to stop talking to the bulls bench and focus on winning this game.

I'm not sure if I saw that wrong, but did Varejao not just get fouled like mad on that rebound??

Man anybody watching this game. Look at what having a solid front court does for your guards. It opens up the offense and allows for better executed plays. The cavs are playing with an avg wing and guard combination (moon, parker, telfair etc) with the exception of Williams and their offense and defense looks very organized and competent.

LOL...

I hope Raps secure 8th and Evans gives Lebron a hard foul when he goes for a dunk injuring him for the entire playoffs.
That will teach him for sitting a game. You think the Cavs rather play the Bulls or a Boshless Raps squad first round? Bulls would give them more of a challenge.


Lol Evans would probably be banned for life from the NBA if he did that.

Bulls are confused, almost like they never played together at times. Noah played 32 minutes had 17/15/2.

LOL lebron sits out the game against chicago. clevelands down one with 30 seconds left;

mo williams misses lay up
offensive board
mo williams misses 16 footer
defensive rebound
intentional foul
deng misses both free throws
jamario moon misses layup
offensive rebound
varejao misses layup
chicago wins.

conspiracy theories are too easy sometimes

As a bulls fan as well, We should have lost this game and been done with any playoff hopes. Mo didnt even play seriously. He was jacking up everything and they went in. We played our hearts out and came out up 1 at home. We may not even win the spot but we sure dont deserve it.

Anyone else thinking draft lottery for Raps?

It's not a terrible draft. Worst case they take that skinny kid who led the NCAA in blocked shots.
Okay, with Colangelo there are always worse cases, but it's really not a bad draft. The top 4 can all be stars and the rest of the first round has a lot of solid guys and raw potential guys. Not bad at all.
We're looking at around the 14th pick aren't we? I'm starting to feel optimistic. If we make the playoffs, cool. If we miss then we hope for a good pick and a couple other moves that will make Bosh think the team is finally headed in the right direction. Youth.

Wouldn't the worst case be the guy whose upside is Bargnani and who isn't coming to the NBA until 2012-2013 (AKA Donatas Motiejunas)? :wink:

Return to Toronto Raptors
