Raptors Injuries
Jose Calderon - strained right hamstring - probable
Kris Humphries - fractured right fibula - out
Jermaine O'Neal - sore right knee - doubtful

This was another bad loss. 20-point loss to a Raptors team that is happy to end their own 7-game losing streak.
But it isn't so difficult to win against a Bulls team, that have 23 turnovers and led the Raptors shoot over 56 percent from the field.

With about 5 minutes left the Bulls just trailing 92-94, but Raptors close the game with a 20-2 run !

Helloooo?

I really thought they getting better after the first 3 games with Deng and Hinrich back, but I was definitely wrong.

Neill Hayes from the Chicago Suntimes says:

"The Bulls appear in the midst of a major meltdown."

I think he is right. So Paxson/coaches really need to do something about this.
