Bucks Come to ACC

Tonight's game features the Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks - 7:00 PM tipoff, available on TSN, Fan590 and www.channelsurfing.net. The Raps have won three straight for the first time since the beginning of the season and look to win four in a row for the first time since December of 2007! Meanwhile, after Michael Redd sh-Redd-ed his knee, the Bucks are struggling mightily to hold on to their playoff berth without their sweet-shooting star guard. They've lost both games since Redd has gone down.

W2W4:
- The Bucks have had to rely greatly on youngsters Joe Alexander, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Ramon Sessions with The Redd Baron's continued injury troubles. Mbah a Moute has been outperforming expectations this year, providing an athletic, defensive presence off the bench.
- Andrea Bargnani had his first "Old Bargs" game in recent memory against the Nets. He struggled mightily against a fairly weak Nets frontcourt, finishing with just 8 points and 1 rebound. It was the first time in 16 games that Bargnani had finished with fewer than 15 points. He will certainly look to prove that Wednesday was the exception - not the hot streak.
- For the fourth time in Chris Bosh's six NBA seasons, he has been named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Bosh is averaging a career-high in points with 23.2 per game, and adding 9.7 rebound, 2.5 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 49.8% from the field and 80.3% from the line. As always, remarkably consistent and outstanding numbers from the franchise, CB4.
