GT: Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors

[T.O.RapsJays]

Raptors start hitting everything, then miss next 5 shots. Delfino has a history of owning his former team. Calderon out for the Raptors, X-Rays did show negative on his right ankle. Bargnani starting.

James Johnson :facepalm

[stallionaire]

Ugly game. Excited to see Bargs.

He probably won't be out there for too many minutes as they're being careful with the calf, just like last game vs the Pistons.

[T.O.RapsJays]

Don't exactly know who Forbes thinks he is :lol and nice move by DeRozan going to the rim.

[T.O.RapsJays]

:roll: :roll: :roll: Barbosa

Edit: Sucks that it didn't count but that was hilarious still.

This would be another important game for the Raptors to lose. Milwaukee will only be sliding down those standings and fighting for more lottery balls.

Agree. And on another note, you must be satisfied that Ed Davis is finally getting some minutes, like you said took them look enough for this to happen.

I guess. I'd like to see him playing 30 minutes per game though just to see what he can do. It's not like Amir Johnson is going to improve anymore beyond what he is now. And while I like Aaron Gray, his ceiling in the NBA is as a "serviceable backup".

With Bargnani back now, I expect them to play Davis only the 15-18 he was seeing earlier in the season.

[Legends66NBA7]

Bargnani seems to be playing much better in this game.

Good to see.

[StroShow4]

Not sure why I'm choosing to watch this game, but I am. What's up Raptor fans? :lol

[stallionaire]

Glad to see Bargs back.

Say we got rid of Gray, and we could keep both Ed and Amir as backups, would this just be a waste of value and in this case would you rather we trade one of the two for another piece; say, a decent backup SG?

[Qwyjibo]

Yeaa I figured it might too much to ask to lose to Milwaukee again. Looks like the Raptors should take this one.

The next 2 games are huge for the tanking effort. Road games at Cleveland and New Jersey. If the Raptors can lose both of those, they set themselves up really well to get a bottom 5 spot.

I made a post on the Raptors board a few weeks ago and I stand by what I think will happen. Ed Davis will be traded in the offseason for a number of reasons.

[StroShow4]

Damn, I wish Bargnani finished that dunk.

[Legends66NBA7]

Triple D always running in the stand.

:oldlol:

[T.O.RapsJays]

Completely horrible for the tank, but good to see Bargs not riddled by the injury, making his usual shots with a rebound here and there.

[T.O.RapsJays]

:oldlol: at Gooden

[Qwyjibo]

Alright, only up 5. That's not bad. Hopefully Milwaukee can get crazy hot from 3 in the 2nd half and steal this game.

Surprising that Delfino hasn't gone hot yet like he usually does against us.

[GoRapz]

Bargs shot is looking good but he looks a bit slow out there. I guess that's what happens when you miss 20+ games though.

Yeah I don't think it's worrisome, he is probably not trying to exceed that calf and playing it safe, I'm sure the coaches have told him the same thing, the last thing we want is for him to injure it badly to the point that it would need surgery. He should start to pick up after getting used to playing.

[StroShow4]

Gooden and Ilyasova are beasting.

[T.O.RapsJays]

Both teams playing tug-of-war with the lead.

[Kungfro]

Gooden and Ilyasova are beasting.

No kidding, he's hitting everything.

[T.O.RapsJays]

Ilyasova! :applause: :applause:

[StroShow4]

Gooden checks in, Gooden to the line. When he plays, he's active.

[T.O.RapsJays]

Amir Johnson ladies and gentlemen.

[T.O.RapsJays]

Jennings...

[T.O.RapsJays]

And the tank will continue!

[kNIOKAS]

Raps weren't worth the win. Giving layup after the layup... Letting two Bucks establish a position down low subsequently. Just not winning basketball. I'm kind glad their bailout shots didn't drop.

[ArbitraryWater]

I kept wanting the Bucks to go to Giannis down the stretch to hold them off... instead we seriously had Bayless brick one on one shots on THREE straight possessions.. dude thought he was LeBron or some shit.

Then at the end hits a shot with zero pressure and is pumped as ****, guns loaded n' everything :oldlol:

Bumping a wrong thread.:oldlol:

Still, holding Raps to 30% FG is a nice feat. Good game. :cheers:

Bucks are getting their grove on.

When smoke head Sanders comes back , I hope he isn't a rotten apple
