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!

lots of near steals and good block outs.. and well there’s the first open look .

another slow offensive night..

by Ustation on Dec 9, 2009 8:29 PM EST reply actions  

I could do with more Marco Belinelli and less Antoine Wright in the rotation.

by RaptorsHQ - Defensive Stance on Dec 9, 2009 8:31 PM EST reply actions  

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  

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).

I will take comfort in the fact that Jennings is in my fantasy bball lineup tonight.

Nice pick up. Late or mid pick?

Traded Calderon for him, actually.

the raps arn’t really playing horribly.. maybe not great on the O, but Jennings is just hitting.

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

by the stylin' assassin on Dec 9, 2009 8:44 PM EST reply actions  

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.

by RaptorsHQ - Defensive Stance on Dec 9, 2009 8:46 PM EST up reply actions  

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

He must pound his head against the wall at halftime of these games.
