Game #57: Toronto Raptors 122 - Chicago Bulls 98

[MixxAOR]

Derozan just doesn't wanna play

[KHD]

demar can sit the 2nd half.

[G__Deane]

Well he is like 3 inches shorter than Kyle so maybe that's why

That's why short(er) guys go high off the glass. It negates the height disadvantage, Fred is just late on the release

[Zainab]

The Raptors are so much better when Ibaka is playing this aggressive

[Sonny]

Hey, so it turns out we are better than Chicago, and if we actually give effort we can beat them

DeRozan even playing in this game?

[MixxAOR]

Poeltl actually has a lot of lift. He can get up for a 7 footer, which is why it pisses me off when he and Pascal forever look to lay it up when they both can dunk

When he has running start he can be explosive but from stand still not really

[Zainab]

The Toronto Raptors bench would be starters on more than half of today’s NBA teams.

Incredible what chemistry mixed with energy and unselfish basketball can do to a team.

Fred just can't finish high off the glass like Kyle used to do so easily the last couple of years. It's one of his few weaknesses right now

Well he is like 3 inches shorter than Kyle so maybe that's why

If Pascal ever learns how to shoot threes....man will he be a problem

[Mitch P]

When did Lopez become so clever with the little post shots? Its so irritating when someone detestable ( Lopez, Dragich) is playing well.

[GLF]

This is Fred's worst game in a while. His biggest issue has always been him trying to go in with the trees when he's 5 foot nothing. Tonight he's doing it way too much.

[Zainab]

Bench Mob (or whatever we're calling them these days) turned a 6-point Raptors deficit into a 7-point lead. +13 in 6:21. Overall Raps reserves are outscoring Bulls bench 27-12. Siakam with 12 himself - he's been fantastic.

Valentine didn't go off though so I think we got this game
