toronto is one of the most profitable teams in the whole league. chicago and toronto have massive fanbases, if chicago has more, it's not by much. besides all of canada watches toronto. i heard some stat that toronto was one of the most internationally watched teams in the league as well, with all the europeans on the team.

They will not make the playoffs from 2 games back.

Actually, if the Bulls lose tomorrow, they would trail the Raptors for the 8th spot by ONE GAME. After tomorrow's game, both teams would still have 2 games each left. Bulls would still have shot, but would need some help from the Raptors.

chicago is one of the top 3 markets in the nba, lal, nyk and chicago, maybe stern will like to say one of the future stars in the nba play, besides toronto is seriously depleted with wright injured

Good, that's why I quoted lunchbawks message because he didn't know.

**yunnusan** · 04-11-10, 01:16 AM

chicago gonna win.

**SexyMit** · 04-11-10, 01:16 AM

You can't go by Market, come on guys. The best Market finals last year was Kobe and Lebron, everyone knew that even Nike, and we know that is not who made the finals. So you can't always base your decision on what would be a better matchup or a better Market.

no it's not going with the market, i'm just saying maybe it will be a factor, but i like chicago because tor is seriously depleted in their roster, bosh is definitely out, wright may not play so as hedo

Agreed

Cavs shouldnt even bother playing Lebron in the series.

**d2bets** · 04-11-10, 11:49 AM

Bulls should win this.

with hockey going on right now, no one in canada except the city of toronto is watch the raptors. as far as all of canada watches the raptors, no one in montreal cares about the raptors or basketball because we don't have a team and hate everything to do with toronto. (leafs/habs Rivalry and the english/french thing). toronto in no way is as big a market as chicago. not just the 10 million bulls fans here in chicago, but there are bulls fans all over the cuntry thanks to MJ. ur crazy

Chicago is a baseball town, the 'Hawks have more buzz too. It's not the 90's.

chicago is a sports town but they support all their teams, especially the bulls. i live here believe me i know.

I agree with your first part, but not especially over the other teams. Not from a market and media standpoint.

when it comes to baseball chicago is a city divided, but they are all bulls and bears fans
