The Bucks are 4-16 in their last 20. The Raps are 6-14. The Raps are 1.0 games behind Philly for sixth place in the East and 2.0 games behind Washington. Philly is hosting Detroit tonight. Toronto owns the tiebreaker so a win by us and a loss by them, and we're back in sixth. Washington is hosting Boston. Expected starting lineups: <u>Raps</u>: Ford, Parker, Moon, Bosh, and Nesterovic <u>Bucks</u>: Sessions, Redd, Mason, Villanueva, and Bogut Mo Williams didn't play the other night due to "Pubic Symphysitis".
Thanks speed. I still can't believe we're below .500. We really need this win, but we never play our best against the Bucks.
CV for 81!:|:|:| or not now his on the bench but WOW, almost a double double at half time, PLEASE BC BRING HIM BAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Raps are starting to play some solid D. I love Charlie V and everything, but one thing I hated was his overconfidence in a shaky outside shot. The dude's so effective taking it to the rim and playing it in the low post, but still chucks it up at times even though he's a 26% shooter this season. It reminds me of Jamario Moon.
finally raps get a win, now if only we can win the next few games to close it out, except the last game of the season (all our starters should rest)!
We are definitely a lock for the 7th seed which I don't mind. Facing Detroit should give Bosh a kick in the behind on how to play in the playoffs and gain valuable experience from facing Sheed and Dice. Even though we were to play Cleveland or Orlando I still feel like it would be an uphill battle and not an easy matchup as some make it out to be.

Seems like a good number.
i dont care anymore about this season, total disappointment, and i know BC feels the same way, Philly got 40 wins before raps, im just looking forward to the offseason and see who raps get, its should be a pretty interesting one. Even thought im still gonna watch the playoff games i really dont care, raps will be at the 7th seed and its just amazing to me wat a difference a year makes
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>TORONTO (AP)—Chris Bosh did his part to end Toronto’s slump. He would like the fans to do theirs. Bosh had 32 points and 11 rebounds and the Raptors ended a three-game losing streak with a 111-93 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Anthony Parker added 18 points for the Raptors, who have struggled despite clinching a playoff spot last week. Toronto lost 15 of its previous 21 games. Fans booed the Raptors after their last home loss and didn’t make much noise Wednesday night. “It was quiet. Could you hear yourself talk?” Bosh asked reporters. “We’re getting ready for the playoffs. I’m just saying I’m excited. I don’t know if anybody else is excited, but I’m excited. I’m not waiting for next week. I’m trying to do it right now and that’s the mentality we need to take, the whole organization, the whole building.” Bosh said a loud building makes a difference. “When you go to places like Dallas, Utah, Detroit and Cleveland it’s loud,” Bosh said. “It really gives them an advantage.”</div> Come on Bosh, what did you expect? Last year's playoffs showed that we have one of the loudest crowds in the NBA, but they need something to feed off of. The effort the team's shown the past few games hasn't really given them much to cheer for.
