With a shocking and pitiful effort in a critical game, the Toronto Raptors dug themselves a huge hole. The Milwaukee Bucks beat our team in every element of basketball, surging to an absurd and unassailable lead before the game was 20 minutes old.
The dismissive term “Trash Brothers” has been popping up as a meme to describe the Raptors backcourt in the post-season. Sadly, it was apropos on this night. DeMar DeRozan didn’t make a field goal…no, that’s not a typo. Our All-Star guard was thoroughly flummoxed by the length and quickness of multiple Buck defenders, and missed all eight shots he tried.
