With Serge playing so badly tonight I was really hoping we'd get another glimpse at the OG, Siakam, Rondae frontcourt for a stretch but maybe Nurse is saving that wrinkle for the future.

Does anyone have a gif of TD's in and out dribble on Middleton to draw the foul? That was smooth. He had a pretty good game; got to the rim with ease but missed a few bunnies. It's hard not to get excited about him.

Sans Kawhi the Raptors still remain elite defensively that's encouraging and impressive...

Replacing his efficient 25-30 ppg and clutch scoring is gonna be a problem against the Bucks/Clippers/Lakers.
Lowry, FVV and Siakam are gonna have to stick open shots when they get them.

Nurse said that Siakam needs to get more reps. The bench with Lowry executed our defense flawlessly but our starters struggled. Nurse could have gone for the game by leaving the bench in (he has done it once before) but he decided to bring the starters back in to get them practice against the Bucks for the play-offs. A win would have been nice but at the end of the day, what matters is if you win in the play-offs.

I doubt we get to Milwaukee anyway. We' ll struggle just as much against Boston. Boston has a starting line-up filled with talented scorers who can defend as well as we can.


Lol I'm not scared of Boston if we have a full healthy roster

Gotta love the internet.


You guys were gifted kawhi. He's the best player.


No, we traded assets for Kawhi, and then more assets for Gasol, and won the championship. There's nothing gifted about it.

My point was, wait until the Bucks actually do something before talking smack. It looks ridiculous and completely tone deaf that you guys are propping up regular season wins against a team that ran off 4 straight wins against you on route to winning a title about 8 months ago.
This was their championship

Spurs weren't trading him to the west. You got lucky.


And you suckas traded for Mirotic and flamed out in the conference finals.

But did you see the true beauty of the point shaving?

It was an 11 to 29 free throw advantage for the Bucks through three, did you notice how after that they were giving us offensive fouls that lead to turnovers? They know they can't jack up the FT differential too high.

I won't trust until they prove it in the playoffs, Last year was an exception and they got lucky. I say the Bucks will be knockout in 2nd RD


I don't mind giving the Bucks and Bucks fans their due (even if their is a contingent of Bucks fans that want to make an ass out of themselves), they have a really good team and I don't believe in focusing on the past playoff series. So long as they are healthy, they have a path to a deep playoff run & the championship.


Agreed. Bucks are legit and Bud is even one-upping his regular season win performance.

If the Raps don’t make it, definitely cheering on the Bucks despite the bloody history between our two fan bases. Somebodies gotta beat the too hyped LA teams.

I'm so happy for them! They really deserved a victory. You could tell they've been waiting 9 months to feel some satisfaction. Poor guys. Probably couldn't sleep all year. Rest easy boys. You've finally defeated the mighty giant Toronto Raptors! lmfaooo what a joke **** team. Has there every been a more despicable fanbase that is so entitled, conceited, and lacking any self awareness to have a great team, than the Milwaukee Bucks? Y'all are from Milwaukee! Have some **** humility lol


You're describing yourself when trying to describe Milwaukee fans.

They looked very beatable for about 1 quarter. Just need to learn how to do that consistently.

The funny thing is, the last time a Milwaukee team won a championship was 1971, and that counts baseball. Literally the last 30 years Toronto has seen 3 parades (Jays 2, Raptors 1), to Milwaukee's zero. If I were a Bucks fan I'd feel ashamed to talk smack on another board, much less the Raptors who beat them in 4 straight last season to make/win the Finals.

At least this clears up who to root for in the playoffs if the Raptors get bounced. Kawhi or LBJ getting rings > Milwaukee.
That was always the case for me. Plus in order for #6iannis2021 to come to fruition he needs to continue being a regular season warrior only to come short when it matters lol.

Jokes aside some of you are extremely soft. A bunch of babies. I question your age and mental fortitude. Sure, the Bucks played on a back to back but they're still extremely fresh overall from playing low minutes to their players all season, so their roster has fresh legs.

Mind you, we still don't have scoring punch in Norm who would've certainly helped tonight, and we didn't have Gasol who definitely would have helped break down the Bucks defense. If this was game 1 of the playoffs, they both suit up. Nurse is also keeping things very close to his chest as well specifically with any potential playoff matchups, so with all that said people need to take a chill pill.

Tldr; a lot of you are embarrassingly soft and will live in your mother's basements for eternity.
