Bucks Beat Down...

April 10, 9:21 a.m. What a duel at the ACC last night between two former teammates as Chris Bosh and Charlie Villanueva as the Raps beat the Bucks pulling away in the third quarter. If you don't think Charlie V. still has a thing for Toronto you missed something special in the first half. He scored Milwaukee's first 11 points and then want on another run of 16-consecutive points in the first half. It was incredible. Bosh wouldn't be outdone as he went to the rim realizing no one could guard him. All told, Villanueva finished with a game high 38. Anthony Parker was solid with 18. Bosh has the mojo going knocking down three balls..his ninth of the season. His career high is 12. T.J. Ford and Jose Calderon combined for 19 assists. Zero turnovers. Got to love the NBA Up next for the Raps is a Friday night date at the ACC against the Nets who lost at Cleveland 104-83 behind LeBron James who nearly had a triple -double. .....bad back and all. The 76ers beat the Pistons 101-94 as they maintain a one game lead over the Raps for the sixth seed. Andre Iguodala nailed four three balls. Washington at home knocked off Boston. Eddie Jordan deserves big time props. Very good road win for the Suns in San Antonio. Shaq Daddy was solid. The Bulls got ripped on the road in Orlando by 32. Break up the Knicks...back to back wins. O.J. Mayo is going pro after one season at USC. Are we looking at a top five pick? Donta Green headed to the NBA out of Syracuse. The same for DeAndre Jordan of Texas A and M. Reading a ton of stories about Scott Skiles who is the number one candidate apparently for a few teams that may be shopping for a head coach this off season. It doesn't surprise me. Listened to the Jays-A's game on the radio driving home and I was so upset with the ninth inning meltdown by the Jays I almost drove off the road. The Tigers win a game....7 runs on 10 hits against the Red Sox..that'll work. After a nice start the Nats have hit the wall. Strong extra inning win for the Cubs last night against the Pirates but does anyone care in Pittsburgh...why? The Pens beat the Sens and it got own right nasty. Physical series ahead for sure. If the Sharks don't beat the Flames changes will be coming in San Jose..book it. Solid win for the Blueshirts. Appreciate the play of Joe Sakic my friends. Hey, I'm all in to tradition and all that stuff but the Masters carries it a bit too far for my liking. Comment/question about the Raps/NBA?
