I somehow forgot this game was on tonight even though I've been looking forward to it. From the box scores it looks like Ibaka had a horrible game, but otherwise it seems like the Raptors played well. Watching the highlights, our bench was really impressive.

Doubt their bozos that are in here gloating after a regular season win will get banned. It's kind of funny that such a terrible franchise has such entitled fans, well, all 12 of them. Haven't won ****. Won a playoff round for the first time in ages last season. And they are coming on the board of the NBA CHAMPIONS and THEY are gloating? LMAO. All I can do is laugh. No point in even engaging with such deluded ****. I didn't believe it but i guess incense really must be that prevalent there.


I think I’m banned too. I tried posting this in the GT but it wouldn’t go through lol.

Brogdon didn’t want to stay anyway tbh:

Hope things get better soon or Giannis isn’t staying.

Davis, Boucher, Thomas even RHJ all good minutes tonight, that might pay dividends later. It was good to see them get some burn, we're going to need them.

Yep, every team needs a little luck to win the championship. Doesn't change the fact that the Raptors beat the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals and are NBA champions and the Bucks aren't. But it's ok, I'm sure the Bucks have a "The Raptors got lucky" banner hanging up in the Fiserv Forum.


The entire Eastern Conference lucked out when LeBron left to the west coast; both Bucks and Raps included.


Last year’s raps beat Lebron's cavs tbh.

Nice game by Middleton. Raptors need to hold out for the 2nd seed and hope the additions of Norm and Gasol is a difference maker. DiVincenzo got some rebounds he had no business getting. Offense fizzled but good defense. That ugly third quarter was the game.

Milwaukee is having a near historic regular season. I was surprised they played so well on a back to back.

This was their first road win against a team over .500 since November 16. They have a bunch of games coming up against playoff teams over the next two months. They will fall short of 70.

Toronto is a good team. Almost as good as Milwaukee. Obviously, the Raps miss Gasol. He caused Antetokounmpo fits in the playoffs.

The most ironic aspect of this game was the Bucks blowing out the 3rd quarter while Antetokounmpo was 0-1 from the field. Toronto should have been able to take advantage of that.

I am surprised at the number of fans here who are taken aback that a team that hoists 52 3-point attempts would end up shooting fewer FTs. Shocker.

Bucks and Raptors are two excellent teams that should both go deep in the playoffs.

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.

Eww. Cheering for the bucks is as unforgivable as cheering for the saltics.

We got what they want. Do you think we will see them around here when the Bucks lose and Giannis bolts outta Mil?


We want a title for sure but i would argue that we have what you want and that is to have an actual shot at a title each and every year for the foreseeable future. Those days are gone for you guys and i'm not saying that to be cruel it's just a matter of fact.


Your core is old. Your fo is mediocre. Your city is one of the most segregated and racist in the US. Giannis might leave. Don’t be too excited now.

We should’ve beat the Pacers by 34 and saved the extra points for this game. :wink:

I will say it makes a difference when Bledsoe is actually a good productive NBA player for the Bucks instead of choking completely like he always does in the playoffs. But that's another reason these games don't matter at all right now.

Ibaka played maybe the worst game of his life. Lowry wasn't any good either. Bench was good, though, and Matt Thomas showed again why he's a vastly superior player to McCaw.

Masai makes it look easy. Some call it luck, others call it voodoo. It's a gift. It sucks that ya'll lost Brogdon though. He's just so much better than Bledsoe. Sorry it hurts. We know the feeling all too well.


I'm sure any GM makes that trade.

Brogdon leaving has meant good minutes for divincenzo. He's a better defender, rebounder, all round athlete. He can handle and pass, just needs to shoot it better. I'm not a bledsoe fan but brogdon isn't the answer, not to mention his health is an issue.


That’s obvious. Doesn’t need to be stated. Fact is, Masai went out and did it.
And brogdon **** on diwhatever.

There is no way Bledsoe turns things around in the playoffs, kind of like how Lowry never turned things around. Wait a minute...

Yeah and he still was 5-14 only Buck starter to shoot 50% was Middleton. He's been shooting the lights out this year no
way he keeps up this pace all the way through the playoffs. Also didn't realize the Bucks had a 36 to 21 FT advantage.
