7 o clock tonight, the Raptors host the Chicago Bulls. The game is on TSN 2, but can be actually seen on channelsurfing.net, and as always on the Fan 590. The Raptors hope to get back in the win column after a tough home and home against the Celtics, where they lost both games, hence losing the season series to Boston 4-0.
W2W4:
- The Bulls sit 4th in the Central Division with a 16-22 record, very similar to the Raptors current position (16-23, 3rd in Atlantic). Also similarly to the Raptors, the Bulls have lost their last 2. At least someone is walking out of tonight's game with their losing skid snapped. Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich, 2 role players for the Bulls, have recently rejoined their team after a period of being injured.
- This is the Raptors first look at Derrick Rose, the number 1 pick overall in the 2008 draft. He is off to a great start in his first NBA season, averaging 16.7 points and 6 assists per game. Look for him to take advantage of weak Raptor defense at the point guard spot.
- The Raptors have had one of the toughest schedules in the Association thus far. They need to win games against sub .500 teams for them to be successful.
- Tonight will be Jermaine O'Neal's 9th straight missed game if he does not play. At some point, Raptor fans will have to truly question the true value Jermaine can bring the club. I'm sure this is on Jermaine's mind as well, upon hearing the latest around the rumor mill: Jermaine for Shawn Marion.

Spoiler alert for your next post:
RAPTORS LOST.
our entire bench combined for THREE rebounds.
speaking of rebounds... Luol Deng grabbed the most with 14. When Luol Deng can get 14 rebounds you KNOW he's playin against a soft team..
I cant discuss the raptors anymore. too dissapointing.
