Raptors take on a surging Heat team. Will be attending.

Raptors vs Pistons (possible #7)
Raptors vs pacers (current #7)
Raptors vs bulls (#9 but only 2 games behind #7 )

Which is the easiest matchup?

It's the Raptors, so none of them will be easy. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost to the Bulls. The Bulls have won 8 in a row and all these guys have gone off on the Raptors:

-Rose
-Butler
-Gasol
-Brooks
-Gibson
-Mirtoic
-Snell
-Portis
-McDermott

Shit, even their 3rd string C in Cristiano Felicio was decent in limited playing time. If they lose tonight to the Bulls, they should give their playoff spot to the Philadelphia 76ers. Another loss in the 1st round probably means the end for this core.


If I had to pick, it would probably be the Pacers. Just for the fact that containing PG is something Casey's teams have been good at doing. Don't let the Pacers get off and they should win the series. Here's hoping.

Raptors finish up a 7 game home stand vs the Bulls. The Bulls have won 8 straight against the Raps, hoping to break the streak tonight.

why is this team not able to beat the bulls? i don't get that

Stop being a meanie

It's just a mental thing at this point. It's probably the reason why they couldn't beat the Wizards last year when they had Pierce.

I've already said why guys like Rose, Butler, Noah, and Gasol have gone off and they have the ability to go off even with injuries and advanced age. But check the role players on the Bulls that have gone off during this 9 game streak:

-Taj Gibson: Always kills the Raptors on the offensive boards and back cuts.

-Nikola Mirtoic: Had a career high 29 points and his best overall game of his career against the Raptors (29/11 reb/4 blks).

-Mike Dunleavy: Has had great shooting games on the Raptors, always kills them from distance.

-Tony Snell: He's only hit 20+ once this season and it was against the Raptors. 2nd most points of his career.

-Doug McDermott: He's hit 20+ 3 times in his career, all this season. 29 and 30 point games BOTH came against the Raptors. The other 20 point game was against the Hawks and the Bulls lost by 15.

-Bobby Portis: A rookie putting up a near double double on his in a game he helped pull the Bulls away in Chicago.

-Aaron Brooks and E'twan Moore: Both have had solid games coming off the bench vs the Raptors or starting. Have had a couple of 15+ point games.


And again, they just look like a confident group against Toronto. It looks effortless for them at times. McDermott looked like he was prime Kyle Korver last night.
