Bosh, Belinelli and Triano after the jump.
Showtime comes to Toronto
They may not be the Lakers of old with Magic, Worthy and Kareem but Kobe’s Lakers are still the prime attraction in the NBA. Today’s game is the third of eight road games for L.A, the longest stretch of road games this season. Kobe Bryant is putting up over 28ppg and he’s not letting a broken finger slow him down. He’s still getting his shots up which aren’t falling at their usual pace but the Lakers continue to play well thanks to contributions from Gasol and Bynum.
Toronto is hoping Andrea’s back is feeling better after sitting out the last game. They’re going to need him to play well tonight if the Raps are going to have any chance of slowing down the Lakers’ talented frontcourt. The struggles of Hedo Turkoglu are well documented. He’s shooting a career low 40.5% from the field and we’re seeing him sputter late in games due to fatigue. It’s too early to panic and I think sooner or later, the extra work he’s putting in will yield results on the floor.

Bucks looking to sweep Raptors at home
The Bucks have a chance to sweep the season series against the Raptors tonight at the ACC. A prospect looking more likely with the absence of Andrea Bargnani who’s out with a sore back. If the Raps hope to avoid the sweep, they’ll need Hedo to step up and play better. He’s been the target of many among the press looking for answers for his poor play. If he helps the Raptors beat the Bucks, he’ll get a reprieve until the next game.

Raps greet Stackhouse in Milwaukee
The Bucks just finished a six-game West coast swing with their lone win in Golden State. They should be happy to be back home and ready to get their new acquisition Jerry Stackhouse integrated into the lineup. The Bucks signed Jerry after writing off Redd for the season. Stack has been a good player for many years but he’s 35 now and last year injuries slowed him down. If he has anything left in the tank, he’ll be eager to show it tonight against the Raps.
