Bucks will take it to us this evening in Milwaukee. Predict and discuss! <div align="center"><font size=""5""><u>Raptor Babe of the Game</u></font> </div>
I have a feeling the Bucks are going to kill the Raptors on the glass. Expect to see Bogut get 15-20 rebounds and Brian Skinner get 12-15 rebounds also. Back-to-back against Redd, Williams, and Bogut = a loss IMO. Milwaukee by 8.
If Ford can be this consistent with the mid-range J all the time, he'd be living up to his contract. The Raps ran away with it near the end of the 1st.
Great game. The Raps passed the ball, rebounded, and got everyone touches tonight. TJ had a good night, 16 and 10. Bucks had a solid run in the 3rd & 4th but the Raps held it together and came through with the win. How about the push by Bogut on Bosh towards the end of the game? Bogut needs to keep his emotion under control. He didn't look too happy with the way he was playing and it showed tonight.
I only got to listen to the 3rd and 4th on thefan as i was in my car on the way home from class. Was the push on Bosh as bad as Eric Smith made it sound? He made it seem pretty bad, but he must have been blowing out of context.
Bosh didn't hit the floor, but it was clear Bogut meant to push him. CB4 did the right thing by not pushing him back too.

Bogut just got frustrated and shoved Bosh going to the basket. Bosh was on the floor so he was never in danger of falling down or getting injured at all. It was a low class move by Bogut though. He loses respect from me. If Bosh was in the air, he could have been injured. Apparently, Bogut also flipped off a fan and said f*** you on his way to the locker room. That's what I thought he did when I was watching the telecast.
Don't know what got into Bogut there, that was very interesting. Also AP did a very nice job on Redd in this game, beautiful stuff.
Does anyone know why Bosh got a technical afterwards? He stayed pretty calm after the foul, but after Bogut was ejected Swirsky said that Bosh got a T as well. EDIT: Here's the video for anyone who missed it: Invalid Video Link
<div class="quote_poster">PHENOMENON Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Maybe Boguts jealous because Bosh is better than him?</div> He's probably angry because he only gets 5 shots a game and has no plays run for him, despite being a pretty solid offensive option.
