Well I think we're officially done. Bosh is gone with a nasty facial fracture. Hedo went for scans after getting head-butted in last night's game and Amir Johnson hobbled off after Big Baby fell on his leg. Walking wounded with a lot of heart but just not enough talent I'm afraid. Sad way for Bosh to end his time in TO

The bulls won a tight one against a banged up Cavs last night 109-108, to pull level with the raps. That been said, the raps already hold the tie breaker over the bulls should they finish with the same record.

I know things are looking grim in Toronto at the moment, but the bulls have been very inconsistent all season, so the final play off spot is stil anybody's imo.

Cruch game tonight between the raps and the bulls for the final play off spot in the east.

The bulls lost to the nets on friday night for the second time this season, a result that highlights to me that they don't deserve to make the play off's.

Awful game to watch last night from a Raptors fan perspective. They just didn't seem to ge the significance of the game and played without energy and heart. The Bulls wanted it and deserved to win.They'll have a much better showing in the play-offs than the Raptors. I think we'd just be a total embarassment at this point. Without Bosh, next season is already looking bleak.

A very good win for the bulls last night against the celtics that should put them in the box seat for the final play off spot, but evrything is still to play for tonight for the raps.

The bulls have a tricky one against the bobcats tonight and the raps play the knicks. With the bulls only one game infront, but the raps holding the tie breaker should they finish on the same record, it's nippy bum time for both sides.

I wont be too sad if the Bulls win tonight. They're playing like they want that last playoff spot. The Raptors just don't seem to have that ability to step it up for the really big games.

It does look like the bulls are up for the fight, even the coach and vp have been at it

After what has been an eventful season in the windy city, the bulls managed to clinch the last play off spot in the east by beating the bobcats 98-89.

The bulls have had highs, but mainly lows this season including blowing a 35point lead at home to the kings, going on a 10 game losing streak and off loading John Salmons to the bucks, and Tyrus Thomas to the bobcats mid season to free up cap space for free agency. There has even been a physical confrontation between the coach and the vice president, so how the bulls have made it into the play offs is a minor miricle.

They have finished the season strongly with wins agains the cavs, celtics and bobcats when it really mattered and in affect have been playing play off basketball for about 4 games.

The bulls gave the celtics a run for their money in the play offs last season, so I am hoping they can do the same against the cavs.
