Bucks/Raptors History
TW: Toronto has enjoyed tremendous success against Milwaukee in the regular season in recent years, including a few blowout wins for the Raps. Do you expect that success to carry over into the playoffs?
BB: I don’t see why not. The Raptors didn’t want to face the Chicago Bulls, who have had their number for several seasons. The Bucks should be manageable for Toronto, largely because the Raptors have more weapons. There are few teams which can match Toronto’s depth. Rotation guys to watch: Patrick Patterson, Norman Powell, Cory Joseph.
