Bulls 92
Raptors 135Oct 21 Open postJosh Lewenberg @jlewenberg.bsky.socialBlueskyOne thing about the 2019 Raptors: they didn’t rely on Kawhi to win (until the playoffs). Other guys stepped up when he sat, allowing them to manage his workload.
Not the re-debut people were hoping for tonight but his teammates picked him up. Bulls aren’t the bar but bodes well.Oct 21 Open postVivek Jacob @vivekmjacob.bsky.socialBlueskyHere's Joe Wolfond on how Quickley and CMB stole the show on opening night against the Bulls:
raptorsinseven.substack.com/p/how-quickl...Oct 23 Open postJason Patt @bullsjay.bsky.socialBlueskyNEW #CashConsiderations w/ @rickyodonn.bsky.social on Bulls' season opener that was so bad we started recording midway through 4th.
- Caleb's debut...9 turnovers yikes!
- Giddey's worst game as a Bull? Possibly!
- Uh, Matas?
- Nowhere to go but up!

#NBAOct 22 Open postDoc Naismith @docnaismith.bsky.socialBlueskyEither the Bulls are awful or the Raptors are elite. I’m choosing to believe it’s the latter.Oct 21 Open postDrew @drew-h-stevens.bsky.socialBlueskyThe Bulls' loss to Toronto was ugly, but the Raptors are title contenders.
Friday's game against Milwaukee, a team that could also be fighting to avoid draft relegation, might tell us more about them.
Not just their competitiveness, but the challenges facing their rebuild.Oct 22 Open postJoseph Casciaro @josephcasciaro.bsky.socialBlueskyDidn't really feel like the Raptors won that quarter, and yet ...
Helps when the defence is what it is (and Bulls are what they are). Shaky stretch for Kawhi on the offensive end there, felt like a slog for both teamsOct 21 Open postBryan Toporek @btoporek.bsky.socialBlueskyThe Bulls know you’re not supposed to tank anymore, right?Oct 21 Open postBullsBlogger @blogabull.comBlueskyRecap of last night's Bulls opener. It was bad beyond "fun-bad"
Also I float the idea of moving Giddey to the bench.
