The Toronto Raptors have been struggling lately. They have lost their last six games (three, including their last two, in overtime) and are looking to turn it around against a Celtics team that has won three of their last five games. The Celtics are 7-21 playing away from Boston and the Raptors are a dismal 10-17 at home in Toronto. The Raptors score 100 points per game and give up 103 points per game. The Celtics score 98.1 points per game and give up 99.7 points per game.
The Celtics play the Raptors twice more in the rest of the regular season.
I know they are only 4 games behind us, but I feel bad for Bosh looking at those starters. E and Mike James will be fun yo watch. I havnt actually watched E play in quite some time, and James has improved offensively at least (or he just shoots alot). But starting E is a joke, and I think we should get a fairly easy W.

(Tony) Allen missed a 3, and Doc told him, "Don't take the three. Take it to the hole." A couple times down later, he took a pass on the wing...and shot and buried a 3.

I dunno, we always find a way to mess up somehow vs the Raptors...that and the fact that they shoot 135% from 3 every time we play them.

Well thats true but it helps us big time that they no longer have Donyell Marshall.

Raptors have lost their last six games and played yesterday. They aren't good at home (though the Celtics are bad on the road). Pierce and Delonte have been playing very well lately. I think I'm being safe by betting only four million.
Ryan Gomes has to be one of the most instinctive rebounders that I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I would even say he is the best rebounder on our team.
Pierce is stuffed on two consecutive attempts (on the same possession).
