I was shocked as hell to hear the wolves announcers finally admit during a game that he struggles guarding quick pg's and players that run the pnr a lot.

It can still beat Chicago, whether or not it will is another question. Miami, Chicago, Atlanta and Toronto are all pretty much on the same level - all fighting to be the second best team.

Based on what? No team in the East barring injury can say they beat the bulls outside a Lebron lead team the past 6 years

Yeah but one of those victories was Butler going INSANE in the second half. I wouldn't use that as a scale of how well they fare against the Bulls. DeRozan/Lowry are pretty much equal to Butler and Rose, after that they're pretty much even throughout the rest of their squads - perhaps you could argue Toronto has a slight advantage. It's not the same as comparing them to Cleveland.

He went insane cuz were not a capable defensive team that can turn up the pressure when it counts on either end...that's why we lost both...CHI can do that...

I do not trust a Casey team in high pressure games...simple as that.

Lowry and DD are as good for 3 and a half quarters aND our third best player is Jonas...

What the hell does that have to do with this season?

Based on the talent they have and how the Raptors have been playing. You're speaking like the Bulls don't have a lot of issues of their own.

Chicago has one of the worst offenses in the league. The Raptors have been in the top-10 in offense and defense with a healthy squad.

That's fair enough, but are you forgetting that the Bulls have a rookie coach who hasn't done much to improve this team (issues with personnel aside)?

The Bulls have issues too, and are reliant upon Rose actually being healthy and productive by the time the playoffs come around. I mean shyt if you don't think the Raptors have a chance against Chicago, you haven't been watching enough Bulls games this season.

This is basically the same Raptors team going on 3 seasons. Yes the Bulls have issues with injuries, possibly chemistry, etc. But going into the playoffs on paper they are better then the raps. And this raps team is the same squad that got punked by Piru P two years in a row. They haven't shown me they can beat anyone in the postseason yet

 

[KOBE]

Shabazz needs to start over Prince. There is no excuse or reasoning for Prince being in the rotation. He is not good at a damn thing.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

This is basically the same Raptors team going on 3 seasons.

I stopped right here. Clearly you haven't been watching them play this season.

If I'm Minnesota, I'm sending Rubio and all the strippers I can find to Memphis for Mike Conley
