Raptors vs. Bulls: ROSE vs. CALDERON

Tonight the Raptors will be playing the Chicago Bulls, in Chicago. This game is a must win for the Raptors. In fact, all games from now on are pretty much must win for the Raps.

Kris Humphries has fractured his right fibula so he is inactive for this game. This is bad news for the Raptors. The last thing they need right now is another injury. Chris Bosh, Jermaine O'Neal, Andrea Bargnani and Jake Voskhul will be the main forwards for Toronto tonight. If this game is a blow out we might see some Jawai as well.

More bad news for the Raptors, they are playing Derrick Rose tonight. Rose can take control of a game and if Calderon doesn't bring his a game Rose may drop a double double on the Dinos. Here are my projections for the game.

TOR 90
CHI 98

KEY PLAYERS
RAPS
Calderon 17 PTS 12 AST 4 REB

BULLS
Rose 15 PTS 7 AST 3 REB

OFF THE BENCH
RAPS
Graham 21 MINS 9 PTS 4 REB 2 AST

BULLS
Thomas 24 MINS 14 PTS 4 REB 3 BLK

CLOSING COMMENTS
The reason why I picked Joey Graham off the bench is because he's had two bad games in a row. Somethings gotta give! If not, don't expect to see him in the OFF THE BENCH portion of my projections for a while.

I won't be posting a blog about the game until tomorrow because I have to play in a basketball tournament.
