I noticed the changed Triano made with switches on the pick and roll, and it worked partially because Bosh and Johnson were able to defend the guard on the perimeter. It wouldn’t work with Bargnani on the floor.

And a tired team tends to take a lot of jumpers because they are easier to get, but I agree that the Raptors capitalized on the Bulls tiredness. That’s the important thing.

Jose played well I agree, but his aggresiveness getting to the rim happened mostly in the first half with Rose guarding him and it’s obvious Rose is not physically sound right now. Not to take anything away from Jose offensively but defenisvely they switched A LOT on pick and rolls and had Jose guarding the wing or big then double teamed his man if the ball went ot the mismatch. Worked tonight but won’t work forever.

Bosh is still Bosh thank goodness, and Barg’s is unfortunately still Barg’s but Derozan was very active. I was also someone who liked Jennings, (Johnson and Holiday as well) in the draft, however Derozan has shown me an ability to not force his game and contribute on the glass which is needed. If he defends better, which takes time, he will turn out to be a very good acquisition.

No matter what silver linings we’re looking for defensively the Bulls missed 13 or 14 shots in a row! And they were all on jumpers. If thats not tired back to back legs I’m not sure what tired legs are but a win’s a win.
