What game were you watching... If anything the refs were in the bucks pocket, 36 vs 21 free throws, a lot of non calls in the paint and those offensive fouls on Lowry when he's Lopez is sticking out his leg were ridiculous...

And take your regular season win, we'll take our 2019 Chip!

If mccaw had played instead of Thomas we would've been blown out by 30 on national TV. Thank God he was out gave nurse a chance to actuay play someone useful. Probably should've played him more eapeciay in the 3rd when we struggled to score but his name isn't mccaw.

Man they are really gassing Middleton. He was okay, but if he scores only 22 in the post season, I’m cool with it

What a performance as Raptors had them and a close one indeed starting hot.
Starters played poor and led to the loss with some questionable calls from the refs.

Giannis was shooked yet Raps couldn't pull through.

Gasol would've hit more of those open 3s than Serge for sure. But damn cant blame Ibaka for takin em at 40% this year. Our half court offense was brutal. We cant score in the paint which sucks.

TDII and Thomas solid gold left out in the cold by Nick the Nurse.

Main guys were all subpar. Ibaka was like a sleeper agent. Missing Gasol and Norm. I think they played pretty well considering.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I feel better about the Raps chances against the Bucks after that game. I don't think they can necessarily beat them, but I believe they can hang around and make things interesting. For the most part, the defence was pretty solid - the Bucks had to work. Offensively, even at full strength the Raps will struggle to score, but Gasol is a massive upgrade over Ibaka, particularly against a Bucks team that forces you to make quick decisions with the ball; and then Powell can make things happen in transition so you don't have to always face them in the halfcourt. The gap is closer than I thought, but I'm now somewhat disappointed the FO didn't add some more shot creation on the wing.

Gentleman's sweep.

I see you, playboy.

Gentleman's sweep is 4-1

Maybe he means a shambles-sweep like last year?


Damn. They were up 2-0...Raps reeled off 4 straight.

Gentleman's sweep to me.

Are you guys stubborn or something, Bucks are a better regular season team than us. Without a doubt. Purely delusional if you thought otherwise.

It’s okay. Come back when it’s the playoffs.

A lot of talk from a fanbase who's team hasn't accomplished anything.

Good regular season game. Means nothing in the playoffs.

There was a time when this team thought these games meant something too.
