It was a superb all-around performance by the Bucks against a team that is supposed to make some noise in the East. The Bucks took it to the Raptors from the opening tip and led by 15 at halftime, then by 27 in the third quarter and 36 in the fourth.

The 6-foot-5 Mason scored 11 consecutive points for Milwaukee during the first quarter, helping the home team grab a 37-23 advantage. He scored on dunks, jump hooks and fadeaways, taking advantage of an early matchup against Raptors forward Jason Kapono.

"I got fouled on two but I still made them," Mason said. "Those are some lucky ones. Tonight the rim was big for me, and it was my night."

Yeah, I know, way to go out on a limb there, Rob, but it's clear Yi -- even after all the drama -- is a better fit for Milwaukee right now. Does that mean I've bought a ticket for the Jianlian Express? No, I'm still skeptical and would be with any rookie in this class save Kevin Durant.

But after putting up another nice line (12 points, four boards, three dimes and most important three blocks) in Milwaukee's laugher over Toronto on Tuesday, I'm warming up to the kid's skills -- especially his shot. When he does a pick and pop with Mo Williams or Michael Redd, I've allowed myself to get giddy at the prospect of a sure two points. (I'm a fan. What are ya gonna do?)

Instead, I am going to rip the franchise bottom to top. Everyone is accountable for what we saw tonight. I hesitate to use the word competitive sport; canned hunt seems more fitting. When your franchise musters 1 point, and the chosen one (Bargnani) musters 5, you are in for a long-long night.

Yi got off to a slow start, fouling out in the season opener, but came up big in the Bucks' home-opening win over the Bulls. Yi had 16 points and eight rebounds and showed the outside touch that makes him such a dangerous 7-footer.
