Tomorrow night, the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls will be fighting for the eighth seed of the Eastern Conference. They're currently tied at 38-41, but only one team will the make Playoffs, and meet the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. Each team has two other games left of the Regular Season, the Bulls play Boston Celtics (49-30) at home, and Charlotte Bobcats (42-37) on the road. Meanwhile, the Raptors play Detroit Pistons (26-53) on the road, and New York Knicks (28-51) at home.
It's important to note that Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh will miss the rest of the regular season after being injured (facial fractures). Raptors have struggled without him, but they'll need to step it up on Sunday to make the Playoffs. They have played twice this Season, and the Raptors have won both meetings. Last night, Raptors lost to Atlanta Hawks, and the Bulls had a chance to take the eighth spot, but they couldn't capitalize against the worst team in the NBA, New Jersey Nets (12-67), losing in Double overtime.
I don't believe either team has a chance to advance past the first round, but it's always important to make the Playoffs. I think the winner of Sunday's match-up will end up being in the 2010 Playoffs, and despite missing Bosh, I think the Raptors will come out on top.
