I'd like to think that, but not necessarily. But this team...holy fuck. JT is just 24. Raw talent has been on display for a while, but the maturity level, confidence, and leadership this year are light years from where he was last year. Looking forward to the GS game...first ABC prime time of the season, and then the LA games.

Ahhh, I wished I had seen this...def would've played. I have put up and asked for picks in the past and crickets. Only problem is our thoughts were identical, and that's pretty boring.

I promise I'll chip in participation again next year.

I went 3-5, I'll take it. I always need to take into account the extra fuel a bunch of teams have on Xmas Day games.

Tonight looks like a good one. Mavs on a 7 game win streak taking on Boston in Dallas. You have a couple young superstars.

The Bulls have beat some good teams this season. Boston twice. Milwaukee twice .Miami a couple times. Brooklyn both games.

The Raptors have been tanking. We are 16-22 and 12th place in the eastern standings.

The season started off very promising then the injuries and inconsistent playing. Otto Porter Turner Jr has turned out to be a dud. I don't think he's even played 10 games. Khem Birch also injury prone. I'm surprised he wasn't traded.

The other night that game against the Bucks was crazy! Very low scoring 1st quarter, like 12 points. When the Rapters were down about 15, I was sure it was over and went to wash dishes. When I came back to check the score there was .08 left and the score was tied, then OT. We lost by 3. We've had several games like that, so close but not enough.

Tonight the Knicks will be in the 6.

I get the impression they are setting their sights on stripping down and rebuilding. What is the 6?

It's hard to root for the Bulls when Zak Lavine has openly said he wants to leave the team. I never really cared for the guy.

Tanking usually means losing on purpose though right? I hope they're not doing that already it's a long season. Anyway it's funny you spelled them the Rapters.

I guess tanking isn't the right word. I don't think they're intentionally trying to lose. On the plus side, still lots of games left to play. I'm sure Masai Ujiri is working on some trades.
