Toronto Raptors vs. Milwaukee Bucks
December 9, 2009
TV: the Score at 8:00 pm
Can the Raps make it four in a row?! The Raps meet a Bucks team sliding in the standings after a surprising start. Without Jose it will once again be up to Jarrett Jack to lead the charge and also to defend current ROY candidate Brandon Jennings.
Real jobs will prevent us from being around at the start of the game so discuss amongst yourselves or visit Brewhoop for the conversation there.
GO RAPS!

wrights okay as long his feet are set.. but that’s about 50% of the time.
by Ustation on Dec 9, 2009 8:33 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I’m sure a lot of it is just mental/basketball IQ. You need to know your own game and recognize where your shots come from (i.e. Wright should not have anywhere near 40+ three-point attempts this season).

Also, I never thought I'd say this
(I was so grateful to get rid of the swirsk), but Devlin’s shilling is just as prevalent, just more subtle. I wish he’d stop

Devlin is god awful. I don’t know what they were thinking with that hire… We haven’t had a good play-by-play guy since Swirsk drove John Saunders out of town.

it took me a while to realize, I guess I was just so happy for ANYTHING other than “salami and cheese”, but the combo of Devlin and Rautins just drives me mad
