Away at the Bucks

8:10 - game hasn't even started and Chuck is all about Bargs and how he looked in warmups. I mean, jesus...get over the manlove.

8:15 - Charlie Bell is allowed through the Raptors turnstile defence, following the red carpet to a lay-up.

8:17 - the arena is so empty, the players voices are echoing.

8:20 - first airing of the Hair On The Court commercial which is the most annoying commercial of the season. The second most annoying will be up soon, trust me.

8:25 - TJ Ford officially on fire...welcome home.

8:27 - Bargs first shot is on a drive to the bucket. Nice to see.

8:31 - the Raptors are the professors in school tonight. 22-6 run.

8:34 - end of 1...37-24 Raps, ending with an mp3 download.

8:39 - after the first impressive drive by Bargs, every one of his shots after that has come from the outside and all have missed badly.

8:42 - Mo is playing hard tonight. Shows that if a starting unit hustles, it becomes infectious.

8:48 - so for you avid Chuck watchers: does he always sound like he's gonna kill himself when Bargs misses a shot?

8:48 - the boo birds come out. Quite fitting, though, since the Bucks are playing like you'd expect the altraps.com team would play: hope Puffer can pull us out.

8:55 - yikes...Bosh yells at AP to "shoot it" after getting called for 3 in the key. By my count that is 4 violations in the past 2 games. Not sure AP deserved that outburst. Somewhat classless by Bosh.

9:04 - every time Charlie Bell hits a shot, they play "ring my bell". Lord.

9:05 - first Bosh pose of the night. Just for you Jawz.

9:06 - end of the half...62-46.

9:27 - my word....Garbo follows a shot for an easy putback!?!?

9:31 - Raps are 2-10 in the 3rd. What, me worry?

9:32 - Ford is having fun out there. Good to see.

9:43 - Humphries draws an "and-1" to stop the Bucks surge....THE BEAST!

9:49 - MoPete gets called on a grab with 2.6 left....horrible.

9:50 - end of third..86-76 Raps.

9:56 - Redd finally hits a 3.

9:57 - Raps getting a lot of favourable calls..only to be turned around by a stupid MoPete tech.

9:59 - 3 leak outs by Milwaukee in the past 5 minutes = 6 easy points..lead now 8.

9:59 - ANOTHER 3 in the key call against the Raps.

9:59 - Chuck eating crow and sounding like his mother just died.

10:02 - raps outrebounded 22-14 since 2nd quarter.

10:04 - seriously, somebody tell me why Bosh continues taking outside shots especially in second halves of games??

10:08 - monster block by Bosh on Patterson and a good job of keeping it in play.

10:17 - Bogut misses 2 huge free throws...could be the beginning of the end.

10:20 - Salami & Cheese call after a Bosh putback.

10:22 - Bogut with a push on Bosh..intentional...gone for the game. Bosh throws the ball at him for his own T and Ford steps in for another T. Welcome to hockey in Milwaukee!

10:24 - Slokar in...the true sign of Salami and Cheese.

10:25 - Raps win 108-93.


Gotta be happy with the decisive win. Don't know why they got away from what they did in the first, but good to see they fought off 3 comebacks. Great energy on the backend of a back to back.
