How The Raptors REALLY Matchup With The Chicago Bulls



The Toronto Raptors and the Chicago Bulls have everything on the line. Both front offices have made HUGE bets on this season but it is a lose-and-go-home scenario in the first round of the NBA play-in tournament.

The Raptors will host former shooting guard DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls to keep their NBA playoff hopes alive. Both teams have endured incredibly disappointing seasons and this will be their last chance to prove to their fans that they can still be competitive. This video provides a full breakdown of the matchups and previews what you can expect to see from starting lineups to matchups, schemes, and more.

There is one part of Toronto’s game that strikes fear into the Chicago Bulls and it was the reason the Raptors won the previous matchups between the two teams on February 28th. The Chicago Bulls know what they need to do but may be unable to stop it. If Toronto can execute this game plan, they will take on the loser of the Miami Heat against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

OG Anunoby’s defense, Nick Nurse’s adjustments, Fred VanVleet’s shooting, and Pascal Siakam’s clutch game can all come together, but will not be the most important parts of Toronto’s potential success.

  1. There have been many teams that have played exceptional during the regular season, but flopped in the playoffs, so making the playoffs after an ugly season.. I dont mind, it is still a fresh start to me! Win, by any means!

  2. I can't see the Bulls going with Caruso on Siakam in such an important game, Caruso can defend but it's a huge mismatch.

  3. If the raptors make the playoffs this season they might beat the bucks if the last 2 games are home

  4. This feels like a game 7 give me 2 dubs W Raps, 84 games makes a team better, 1 game at a time, contested jump shots only.

  5. Bulls surely start Carushow.

    I’m hanging out to see what Boucher does this game!

    It’s time to write the new Raptors history and show why we moved on from Kyle and Demar. Let’s hope this unit can at least make the playoffs after a shit house season!
    Nice analysis overall man!
