The Bulls season mercifully comes to an end tonight against the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors are a .500 ball club in the Eastern Conference, thereby making them the 6th seed in the playoffs. So expect them to put up a little more defense than Milwaukee did last Wednesday, when the Bulls erupted for 151 points.

Joakim Noah wasn't fooled by the disparity between meaningless games and having something to play for:

""It definitely wasn't a playoff atmosphere. Put it this way, if people were playing for something right now, like a playoff berth, the score would have never been like that."

Unfortunately, fans are still obligated to pay full price for tickets to a game where the effort is anything but full.
