Preseason [2]: Boston Celtics [1-0] at Toronto Raptors [1-0] - 10/11
 at 
The Boston Celtics play the Toronto Raptors at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario on Wednesday, October 11th, 2006. The game will be at 7:00 EST and will be televised by  New England.
The Boston Celtics' last preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers resulted in victory, 109-93 (boxscore). The Celtics' two best players, Paul Pierce and Wally Szczerbiak were horrible, combining for 21 points [on 5-20 shooting, 1-6 on three-point attempts, 10-17 on free-throw attempts], four rebounds, and three assists in 40 minutes. The Celtics' bench, though, was stellar. Kendrick Perkins ten points [4-5] and seven rebounds in 19 minutes. Rajon Rondo's statline was 11/5/8/4 with only one turnover in 35 minutes. Tony Allen had 8/2/2 in 17 minutes and Al Jefferson had 9/4 in 12 minutes. Olowokandi had ten rebounds in nine minutes.
The Toronto Raptors' last preseason game against the Washington Wizards resulted in victory, 93-88 (boxscore). Perhaps most notable, Andrea Bargnani scored eight points and grabbed four rebounds in 13 ½ minutes, making three of six field-goal attempts including both of his attempted three-point shots. Bargnani, though, committed five fouls. Chris Bosh scored fourteen and added five rebounds. TJ Ford and Jose Calderon scored eight and had five assists each. Fred Jones was the high scorer, totaling seventeen points along with four rebounds, three assists, and five turnovers.
The probable starters for each team:

Why is Ratliff starting?
I detest Doc Rivers. Even when I'm watching old Celts/Hawks games on tape, I root for him to suck.

Hopefully because he's one inch taller.
Actually, personally I don't care who starts, as long as Perkins gets the majority of the minutes.
Of course, there will be some nights where Ratliff will play better and you go with him, but...also sign Kandi please.

I'd rather have Telfair at the 5 than Michael Olowokandi.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that, because that's probably going to be the last time those four words will be uttered in succession...ever.

Telfair vs Ford should be a track meet wainting to happen. I can't wait to see that.

That's why he had 9 rebounds in 10 minutes.
