While the Milwaukee Bucks have been dealt a pair of blows to their roster since last taking the court, the Toronto Raptors record continues to take hits. The Raptors head to Milwaukee Monday night and will try to win for just the third time in 10 games while facing a Bucks team that can add a reserve point guard to a list of sidelined players. The Raptors (26-14) have dropped seven of nine, including two straight after Sundays 95-93 home loss to New Orleans. Toronto lost for the first time this season when allowing fewer than 100 points after winning its first 15 such games. The consecutive losses have included a 13-of-50 mark from 3-point range and an average of 37.0 first-half points. Were playing in mud right now, said Raptors coach Dwane Casey, whose team has dropped three straight on the road as it embarks on a three-game trip. DeMar DeRozan scored a team-high 22 points, while Amir Johnson had 14 and 10 rebounds. DeRozan had been particularly strong in his first two games back from a torn abductor, averaging 22.5 points on 62.5 percent shooting, but he was 7 for 18 against the Pelicans. Terrence Ross was limited to a season-low 11 minutes and was replaced in the starting lineup in the second half by Greivis Vasquez. Ross was held scoreless for the first time this season and is shooting 33.1 percent in the last 12 contests. Weve just got to be there for him the best way we can, help lift him, just like we do everybody else, DeRozan told the teams official website. Weve all been there, playing in this league, everybodys been there in some type of way. Weve just got to help him out the best way we can, and get him back on his feet. Once he gets rolling, its going to be something he definitely needed when he looks back at it. The season series against Milwaukee started much better with a 124-82 home win on Nov. 21 to extend the Raptors winning streak in the series to five after 10 consecutive losses. Kyle Lowry had 20 points and is averaging 22.3 on 52.4 percent in his last three games against the Bucks. DeRozan, though, had one of his worst games of the season, scoring 7 points on 1-of-8 shooting. The Bucks (21-19) wont have Kendall Marshall after learning he suffered a torn ACL in Thursdays 95-79 win over New York in London and will miss the rest of the season. Well play the 11 that we have and well go from there, coach Jason Kidd said. Kendall brought a lot to the table for us, being able to anchor that second group, keep the ball moving and post up, too. The team is already operating without rookie Jabari Parker - out for the season with the same injury - and center Larry Sanders. Milwaukee learned Friday that Sanders, who hasnt played in the last 11 games, was suspended without pay for a minimum of 10 games for violating the NBAs anti-drug program. The Bucks are 7-4 in the games without Sanders thanks in large part to repeated strong defensive efforts, holding opponents to 86.7 points on 38.9 percent. Offensively, O.J. Mayo remained hot against the Knicks with 22 points. Hes averaging 15.3 and shooting 59.0 percent in the last four games. TreQuan Smith Saints Jersey . At least 90 players who had college eligibility remaining are expected to enter the draft, shattering last years record number of 73. "Its a humongous number, so the first reaction is it makes you step back a little bit," said NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former scout with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles. Kurt Coleman Jersey . Louis, MO (SportsNetwork. http://www.authenticsaintssportsonline.c...is-gold-jersey/. - The Detroit Lions have 13 takeaways this season — three less than all of last season — and the defence isnt the only unit pleased with the performance.

In his first public comments since McDonalds arrest Aug. 31, York told San Franciscos KNBR radio that he will not punish McDonald until he sees "evidence that it should be done or before an entire legal police investigation shows us something." "I would much rather take shots at my reputation than to put somebody down and judge them before an entire investigation has taken place," York told the radio station. Yorks comments echoed many of the remarks made by 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke in the last two weeks. He reiterated that the team will not tolerate domestic violence and he considers McDonalds arrest serious, however, he repeatedly said he will not act until the investigation is completed. "Im comfortable if my reputation is going to take shots throughout this process," York said. "But my character is I will not punish somebody until we see evidence that it should be done or before an entire legal police investigation shows us something." McDonald practiced all of last week and started in San Franciscos 28-17 win at Dallas on Sunday. Public pressure has been building on the 49ers to sit McDonald down while prosecutors decide whether to charge him. The uproar escalated Monday following TMZs release of new video showing Ray Rice knocking out his then-fiancee in an elevator. The running back has been released by the Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the NFL, which initially suspended Rice two games. York stressed that the public should not lump McDonald and Rice together just because both were arrested on domestic violence charges. "Each case is its own separate case. Ray McDonald is not Ray Rice," York said. "And if theres another one, its not the same as the previous. Each case is its own individual entity. And as a society, we have a sense of saying, Well, you didnt do it right with Ray Rice right away so you need to overdo iit with Ray McDonald or whoever else it is.dddddddddddd And I dont believe thats the country that we live in. I dont think thats a fair way to approach it." McDonald is out on $25,000 bail following his arrest at his San Jose home where he was celebrating his 30th birthday with teammates and friends. San Jose police have released few details surrounding McDonalds arrest, only saying that officers at the scene saw the alleged victim with "visible injuries." McDonalds arrest came just days after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including a six-week suspension for a first offence and at least a year for a second. Asked about Goodells handling of Rices situation and if he should be reprimanded by owners, York said "it was obviously acknowledged that it was bungled by the league, and they came back and corrected it. Ray didnt take the field in the regular season. He was already down. They suspended him for the year. Could it have happened sooner? I dont understand the video, what was seen, when it was seen, how it wasnt seen. I dont know the answers to that." York said he hadnt spoken publicly about McDonalds arrest until now because the 49ers speak in "one voice." He said his views were expressed earlier by Harbaugh and Baalke, and he felt that was enough. With multiple arrests in the past few years, York admitted the 49ers "havent lived up to that expectation" of acting in a responsible way off the field. He said the team is doing everything it can to make changes. As far as enforcing discipline, though, York cited flaws in the leagues collective bargaining agreement with the players union. "We certainly need to take a very hard look at ourselves as a league and figure out a better way to do this," York said. "Coming back to Ray McDonald, weve got a collective bargaining agreement in place that makes it difficult for the teams to take an action, for the league to take action. We need to set any negotiating aside and figure if theres a better way through collective bargaining and through everything to look at domestic violence."
