TORONTO - Late in the third quarter of the Raptors rout of Milwaukee on Friday, fans began chanting: We want Bruno!Thats how massive Torontos lead was. Vince Biegel Jersey .Lou Williams scored 22 points and the Raptors scorched the Bucks 124-83 on Friday, in a game that was both a gigantic punctuation mark on their seven-game homestand, and made rookie Bruno Caboclo a star.It was great, the crowd go into it. Thats definitely a memory hell have forever, DeMar DeRozan said of the 19-year-old, and his NBA debut. The Raptors margin of victory was one point shy of their franchise best.Kyle Lowry added 20 points, while Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Eastern Conference-leading Raptors (10-2), who went 6-1 on their homestand.But it was Caboclo who was swarmed by reporters in the post-game dressing room. Williams lifted up his phone to snap a picture of the media mob around the youngster. DeRozan teased him saying loudly: You play one game and you get this?Butterflies in my stomach, said the shy Brazilian, whos still learning English. Everybodys saying my name. Its incredible.He said he heard the fans when they starting chanting his name in the third quarter.I put my head down, he said. It was pretty emotional.People love him, said fellow Brazilian Lucas Nogueira, who also made his NBA debut. Hes just like Justin Bieber.After the game, Caboclo sent out two tweets — one in English and one in Portuguese — thanking fans in both Canada and Brazil.Thanks all the fans tonite for their support. Youre all really special. #WeTheNorth, Caboclo wrote. The Raptors pulled away virtually from the opening whistle, and had topped their franchise-best lead (43 points) when they went up by 45 late in the third quarter.The capacity crowd of 19,800 Air Canada Centre fans were rewarded for their chants when Caboclo checked into the game to start the fourth. And the six-foot-nine rookie — known for his almost freakish seven-foot-six wingspan — had the fans flying out of their seats when Williams found him for an alley-oop dunk for his first NBA points.The rookie followed it up with a three-pointer on Torontos next possession on an entertaining night of basketball. His second three with 6:01 left in the game put the Raptors up by a whopping 52 points, and by the games final few minutes, the ACC crowd was chanting Lets go Bru-no!This game, I feel not comfortable, said Caboclo, who finished with eight points. I try but its different than the pre-season. So different.Terrence Ross finished with 13 points, and Greivis Vasquez scored 11.Jabari Parker had 15 points to top the Bucks, who were coming off a 122-118 triple overtime win over Brooklyn two nights earlier.I take full responsibility. I thing the big thing is we got off to a slow start and just couldnt catch up, said Bucks coach Jason Kidd.Raptors coach Dwane Casey had cautioned his players not to look ahead past Milwaukee to Saturdays tough matchup against LeBron James and the Cavaliers in Cleveland.If we dont come out to take care of business, they can embarrass you, and just spank you like you stole something, Casey said before tip-off.In the end, all the embarassment belonged to the Bucks.I thought our mental focus was great, Casey said. Nobody in that locker-room was even talking about (Saturday) night. If were going to be an elite team, or grow to be an elite team in this league, we have to make sure to take care of business and take care of whats in front of us.The coach also had kind words for his young rookie, who was the surprise pick of the NBA draft when he was taken 20th overall.I thought it was special, Casey said on the fans reaction. Hes a beautiful kid. Like any other kid, hes learning and growing in the NBA. As a coach, I see him growing everyday and know what he needs to work on. Its great for him.That’s why as coaches were pushing to dress 15. If he wasnt in uniform tonight, he wouldnt have gotten that opportunity.The Raptors shot 52 per cent on the night, and hit 15 of their 25 shots from three-point range. They outrebounded the Bucks 57-30. Torontos best margin of victory was 42 points in a 96-54 win over Miami on March 19, 2008.Valanciunas had 12 points in the first quarter including the floater midway through the frame that put the Raptors up by 17 points. The Bucks fought back to within seven, but a three by Williams at the buzzer put Toronto up by 10 heading into the second.Williams was the high scorer with 11 points in a second quarter that saw Toronto top the Bucks 34-18. Williams hit yet another three at the buzzer to send the Raptors into the dressing room with a 71-45 advantage.The Raptors showed no mercy in the third, holding the Bucks to just 12 points and passing their franchise-best lead of 43 points late in the quarter, to go into the fourth up by 45.NOTES: The Raptors were missing James Johnson (ankle) and Tyler Hansbrough (shoulder). . . Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto of Toronto and former Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells were at the game. . . Toronto swept all four meetings with Milwaukee last season.

"Last year didnt go the way we wanted it to, but we need to look at what went well and what didnt go so well. Hopefully this year we will be better," Brendan Gallagher said after practice. This year, the Canadiens have a little more depth to work with by adding players like Daniel Briere, Dale Weise, Mike Weaver, Douglas Murray and arguably, the biggest addition to this playoff roster, Thomas Vanek, who the Canadiens were able to land at the trade deadline.In its latest installment, UFC 169 will take place in Newark, New Jersey with two titles on the line. This is a shot at redemption for Urijah Faber, his chance to win a title fight. Its also a massive proving ground for Jose Aldo, not that he needs it. If Aldo can pick up the victory, he will be at nearly a decade without defeat. He isnt even 27; his talent will only increase over the next few years. There is also a bout in the heavyweight division with Alistair Overeem facing Frank Mir. On paper it sounds like a great matchup but will need a dramatic ending or tense action packed rounds in order for people to be talking about it the next day. Here are the UFC 169 picks from the team at TSN 1290s the “Weigh In”. Jordan Cieciwa, Big Marv and Toby… thats right, just Toby. Catch us on air every Saturday at 11:30am ct/12:30pm et. Renan Barao (31-1-0) vs. Urijah Faber (30-6-0) Jordan Cieciwa Who doesnt love a big title fight? Well if you are Uriah Faber, history says you actually may not. His only losses came at the hands of champions. There are few people in the game as talented as him, especially when it comes to wrestling and the use of unorthodox strikes. Hes shown unbelievable skill with elbows off the cage and spinning back fists. His ability to target is second to none. Thats only gotten better with the addition of Duane ‘Bang Ludwig. Across the cage from him is the very dangerous Renan Barao. Barao came out of obscurity to start dismantling his competition in both the WEC and UFC. He is on nearly a decade long win streak. Ask anyone, except Eddie Wineland, and theyll say he is a submission specialist. He beat Wineland very quickly and with an amazing back kick to start the process. His talent is unquestioned now, and his ability to push the pace will make him hard to beat. So much so that I dont think “The California Kid” can do it. Barao via fourth round submission Big Marv You could make the argument that Urijah Faber was the fighter of the year in 2013. He went 4-0 last year, with only one of his fights going the distance. Even that fight, against Yuri Alcantara, was a dominant decision for Faber. In fact the last time Faber lost was to Renan Barao in 2012. Since then, the California Kid has been more determined than ever. With an incredible improvement in striking thanks to Alpha Males new coach Duane “Bang” Ludwig. However, lets not sleep on the champ. Renan Barao took that interim title with his win over Faber and has staked his claimed as not only the 135lb king, but also in the top five pound-for-pound fighters in the world. It is so hard to pick a winner here. Will Faber choke again in a championship fight situation? I say not this time. Urijah Faber via unanimous decision Toby This one should be an amazing fight! Faber had an outstanding 2013 and will look to finally become a UFC Champion, all that stands in his way is Renan Barao, who has the longest current unbeaten streak in active MMA today (33). This has fight of the night potential and as much as Id like to see “The California Kid” becoming the UFC champ I believe Renan Barao will have his hand raised in this one. Renan Barao via decision Jose Aldo (23-1-0) vs. Ricardo Lamas (13-2-0) JC What were you doing when you were 18? If you were an 18-year-old Jose Aldo, you were suffering your last MMA loss. At 27, Aldo has been on a nearly nine-year win streak. Most of those wins are while holding the UFC featherweight title. He is perhaps one of the sharpest fighters in the game. Fortunately, he isnt talked about all that often because it seems to have kept him hungry. Aldo willl probably keep this fight standing and use some amazing leg kicks to slow his opponent down. Josh Jones Youth Jersey. Though let it be known that Ricardo Lamas is no slouch either. Lamas is on a four-fight win streak of his own and looked great stopping Cub Swanson with a triangle choke and Erik Koch with elbows. The good news for fans, both these athletes stop fights including Aldo who has a 30% decision rate. That to me is fantastic. I think that, in combination with his skill level, will have this fight ending sometime in the fourth round. We will be treated to a lot of leg kicks and some great movement and skill on display. Jose Aldo via fourth round TKO Toby After watching Jose Aldo fight for the past couple of years Ive learned two things, he is without a doubt one of the best pound for pound fighters in MMA and its hard to bet against him. Ricardo Lamas is a real threat but I see Aldo getting his hand raised and us fans being one step closer to an Aldo vs. Pettis super fight. Jose Aldo via TKO BM Jose Aldo is one of those champions that just seems infallible. His striking is fast and vicious, his ground and pound is relentless, he has slick jiu jitsu and is almost impossible to take down. All of that adds up to him being one of the best in the world pound-for-pound. However, his opponent Ricardo Lamas has this crazy habit of winning fights he shouldnt. Sorry Toby, weve got to put the Aldo vs. Pettis super fight on hold, Lamas is taking this one. Ricardo Lamas via TKO round 4. Frank Mir (16-8-0) vs. Alistair Overeem (36-13-0) JC This is one of those fights that really means very little in the heavyweight division, but will be interesting to watch. I have a very bad feeling it will end in the first round with a toe hold, but who knows, Mir might try to show off his “highly average” boxing skills. Lets face it, Alistair Overeem comes into this fight with a bad rap for using drugs (very deserved), and being a one sided fighter. Overeem has no business being in the cage with a jujitsu whiz like Frank Mir. Mir is also not afraid to end a fight with an “uncool” submission. He grabbed Brock Lesnars toe and threatened to break it. The loser of this fight probably wont have much longer in the UFC, and I dont know that its a bad thing. The winner probably wont ever contend for a title, but at least they dont have to retire or go find work somewhere else. Its a simple case of a very impressive K-1 specialist in Overeem, meeting up with a jujitsu guy that will take the submission anyway he can. I expect that Mir will find and exploit the very large weakness that is Overeems ground game. Mir via second round submission. BM Both these guys are desperate for a win. With Overeem, he beat up Bigfoot for two rounds before his cockiness got the best of him. Against Travis Browne, he almost finished him, but Brown proved too tough and Overeem got caught. In Frank Mirs last fight, he was slow and Barnet destroyed him quickly. Against Cormier, he was slow and lost by decision. The difference between the two, Overeem still has it, while it looks like Mir does not. Plus, Mir wont be able to weather the early storm like Silva or Browne. Its going to be an early night for both men. Alistair Overeem via KO round 1 Toby This is a possible “Loser leaves town” fight, with both fighters coming off consecutive losses Mir (3) Overeem (2). Overeem has lost some weight which will help his cardio, I love watching both of these guys fight but in this case I believe Overeems stand-up will be the difference on Saturday.
