So, now that the Raps have started to play NBA quality teams (Suns and Pistons), do they pull out a win against the Bucks?

Or doe the Bucks rest Giannis against the Raps again?

Stay tuned!!

Why weren't the Bucks when they had both Middleton and Holliday (no Giannis) and New Orleans not NBA quality teams?

If I remember correctly it was the L against the Pistons last time that ** with the team and made us go on a losing streak. And is this something that someone can check- do we always come out with an injury whenever we face Casey's Pistons? Must be a trend

Schedule loss on paper. But then again, yesterday was a win on paper.

The most Raptor thing would be winning this game tonight but it’s going to be tough. Back to back against the defending champs on their homecourt.

Injury report lists both Lopez and Holiday out.

Freddy Allstar wouldn’t allow this. There is a pecking order. He already said Barnes is Marc Gasol and that sacrifices need to be made.

Lines just went from -7 to -4.5 for Bucks.

I'm guessing that's because Jrue is out?

I expect big games from our main guys but it may not be enough. Having Trent back would be huge

I am pretty sure Holiday was out for those two games against the Bucks. I watched the 4th quarter of the 2nd game if I remember correctly he was not playing.

Yes, fair point. But they still had their two best players. Giannis and Middleton should be enough not to get swept in a two-game series against the Hornets. From what I've read on their forum, it's a tale of two teams. They tend to play down to their competition but then beat the good teams. That's all I was trying to insinuate.

Why the **** did Nurse play VanVleet/Siakam 40 plus minutes last night knowing the Bucks were coming up on a back to back? He needs to know when to throw in the towel and live to fight another day.

Watch, Bobby Portis is going to be talking major smack after the last time we mopped the floor with them.

Please. We lost to the NBA-best Suns by 4 points without 2 of our starters. We had a letdown game against the Pistons (who have the 2nd worst record in the entire league) last night. We didn't lose 2 in a row because we're finally playing NBA teams.

How are the Pistons an NBA quality team while the Bucks with Middleton+Jrue, Clippers minus PG/Zubac and healthy Pelicans are not NBA quality teams? Those 3 teams all fielded significantly better lineups than the Pistons last night. Even the undermanned Knicks and Spurs were better teams than what we played last night. We just sucked last night.
