Still aint scared. No Norm or Gasol.

Besides, these regular season games means more to the Bucks because we beat their ass in the Playoffs last year

Ibaka having probably the worst game of the Season didnt help. To go along with Gaosl and Norm being out. Like I said, still aint overly scared.

The bucks had a 3-1 regular season series last year too. Even with Kawhi

We cannot beat that team with Ibaka and Lowry missing all those open shots, period.

That wasn't their defense, those were open shots.

They came in thinking Defense first. You could see it from the very first defensive possession. Probably drained them out offensively.

Like I said, I really wouldnt put too much stock into this. Bucks had a equally dominating season lats year and wont eh regular season series 3-1

RaptorsNorth is probably 1 post away from switching over to the Celtics side.

At this point, I hope he does for his sake. Dude needs help

Serge was 100% sick as hell last night and played through it. I watched him walk into the tunnel twice. Lowry sprinted to the tunnel, puked, then came sprinting back to the bench. They weren't well and it showed.

Have to credit them for grinding out a game of that intensity. They knew they had to play if their team would stand a chance, and they did.

They'll knock those shots down next time.

It is becoming obvious that Siakam will have a tough time scoring on Giannis(with Marvin Williams), Bam Adebayo and Ben Simmons in the playoffs..those players are built to stop him. So I wasn't too surprised to see Pascal struggle.

I had almost forgot that Serge was pretty much a non-factor against the Bucks in the playoffs..Last night, I can only assume that the length of Brook Lopez contesting his shots bothered him.


Pascal was 3/6 on Giannis. I think the fact that they had to put Giannis on him for most of his possessions is more important than whether Siakam can score on him or not. They can't get away with Marvin Williams (horrible playoff performer on his way out of the league), and then there's no one else that can really match him on that team. The Lopez Bros and Ilyasova are lead footed. Middleton got worked by Siakam for an easy and1. Basically, I'll take that game from Siakam for an entire series against any team. It's the 3 other starters who need to cash in.

Yeah Bucks have yet to face any sort of real adversity. The team hasn't dealt with injuries like we have. I really aint scared. We need to get healthy.

I pray for once we can see a fully healthy team when we face the Bucks 2 more times. Thats when i'll judge them

Yup. He's just another one trick pony. Trash the team as often as he can with "Loooolllllllllllllllllll" "LMAOOOOOOO" littered posts while never substantiating any of his criticisms. I don't think I've read anything he's ever written that would confirm he likes the franchise or any player on it. Strange flex really.

I thought it was clear the Bucks are gonna miss Brogdon in the playoffs.

Wesley Mathews is literal trash and is no where near the level impact player brogdon. When the defense locks down in the playoffs, Bucks are gonna miss another perimeter scorer because both bledose and Middleton are both gonna choke

Was very impressed with our team.

Defense was great, we really limited Giannis and did a nice job overall.

We missed ALOT of shots we normally make.

Lowry was too passive last night.

With Gasol and Powell back this will be a very, very competitive series that could go either way.

Wow, the man played through it. Sure helps explains what I saw from him yesterday. Atypically cloudy-headed and erratic. Which fed into Ibaka. Ibaka needs Lowry to click.


Wonder if there's a flu bug passing around..

There is 100% a stomache bug, I had it and my wife and son too last week, throwing up and diarrhea for 2 or 3 days then ok again slowly

Yeah honestly reading his posts, I really think he's like 13-14 yrs old. Not even joking when I say this.

Another option is that he's not really a Raptors fan altogether and just diguising as a troll....but even that seems extreme. No non-raptor fan is gonna be posting this much about the Raptors all the time

Not that I want to use it as an excuse, but I wish they would come out with this if true. I get it though, they aren't the kind to make excuses, especially Kyle.

Last night's gameplan was sound. The execution was decent too. It all came down to things that were in the Raptor's control. Not to take away anything from the Bucks. Middleton stepped up and Divencenzo's hustle in the 2nd half kept the momentum on Milwaukee's side.

But, the game for the Raptors came down to composure, free throws and open shots. This may prove to be the biggest area where the Raps miss Kawhi's robot-like execution.

If we can get to the ECF's against Milwaukee, it'll be a war for sure.

Biggest takeaway from this game for me IMO....is just how good our defense is.

Obviously our offense let us down but its nice knowing that our defense is gonna be there again in the big games when It matters most.

Return to Toronto Raptors
