Meh, this game doesn't really matter. It won't move us so I just say, win it so we're prepared for playoffs.

**Belsius** · 04-15-2008, 06:50 PM

last game at the united center, they could win, but I see Calde and delfino with great games

JattDogg · 04-15-2008, 11:43 PM

yawn...its a feel good win but at this point, id rather throw in our scrubs and give the starters some rest....we are going to be giving them heavy minutes in the playoffs.

Superjudge · 04-16-2008, 08:48 AM

whatever.

they will have three days rest after this. thats plenty.

Put um out there and make them execute and play hard on the glass, they NEED gametime intensity training, not rest. Christ Bosh has been pn the shelf half the year, if he's tired he needs to be traded.

Dr. J. Naismith · 04-16-2008, 10:45 AM

Yahoo Preview available for those who care.

Krazy Ivan · 04-16-2008, 10:49 AM

Chicago wins by 10 or less... they will want to finish season on a high playing home and Raps will try to rest Bosh & Co.

Bargnani will be Raps leading scorer with 21... Jose with 12 assists.

Who cares? Bring on the Orlando Magic...

Superjudge · 04-16-2008, 11:05 AM

This game should be taken seriously

I agree with SJ. This game is for real. why? Because the next game on Sunday is gonna be even more for real than our team knows..

It's time for these Raptors to buckle down and focus like they've never focussed before. Tonight should be a dress rehearsal.

I'm not saying play Bosh 40 mins. or anything, but you knopw what i mean.

Superjudge · 04-16-2008, 02:42 PM

theres no chance to watch the game online guys, I have checked in many places. It looks like To started well.

Krazy Ivan · 04-16-2008, 09:22 PM

You are not missing much... it's a bunch of bench players running around like headless chickens and shooting long jumpers.

Superjudge · 04-16-2008, 09:28 PM

Toronto is 4 and done next week.

worse than the leafs, at least the leafs got the 7th pick.
