Surprises and upsets are all part of the playoffs, but while we have all come to expect them, it’s still a bit of a shock when they arrive. The Toronto Raptors appeared to be a heavy favorite heading into their opening round series versus the Milwaukee Bucks, especially when you consider that they had won 7 of their last 8 regular season meetings with the Bucks. Things have not gone according to plan, though, and the Raptors now find themselves 2-1 down in the series heading into Game 4 in Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon. It’s not just the fact that they are down in the series that is so surprising here, but rather the way in which they have lost those two games. The Raptors offense has been held silent in both losses, and another defeat this weekend will put them on the brink of elimination. To say that this is a must win game for Toronto is putting things a little mildly, as they simply haven’t been doing enough in this series to dig out of a hole that deep.
