Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
If the Raptors again show that they do not intend to play any tough defense and only are trying to pad their individual offense stats, we will know that they don't really believe they will make the playoffs.

Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
Celtics are on a roll, they are what, 8-1 since the Walker trade?
They have been playing some very good basketball at home, but I am convinced that we'll keep this one close.
I predict another big game for Marshall.

Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
The Celtics are absolutely on fire ever since trading for Walker. I don't see the Raptors winning this one, especially since we're on the road.

Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
I Dont Think The Raptors Can Get This One - The Celtics Crowed Are Tough, And U Know The Raptors Stink On The Road.. Also, The Celtics Are 8-1 Since Walker Joined The Team, And That One Lose To The Wolves Was Hard.. It Was One Luck Shot By Sprewell !

Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
I'm sure the Raptors remember the time they lost that game earlier in the season down the stretch, when the Celtics were literally handing the game to them.
Hope the Raptors can get some revenge.

Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
I live in heightened suspense when the Raptor's are on the road, wondering if MoPete will actually score any points. Perhaps Mitchell should start Palacio and have Mo come off the bench some time in the third quarter, when Mo is more comfortable after sitting on the bench and thoroughly analyzing the opposition. MoPete is a sensitive player who needs to be understood and accomodated when playing away from his home court.
If the Raptor's fall behind by 10-15 points in the first quarter, will Mitchell take out Hofffa and slip in his strategic secret weapon --- cornerback Donyell Marshall. It must be tiring for D-Marsh to always run to the far corners of the court, waiting for the ball to come around to him so he can launch his missiles at the basket. Do you think he will be as successful as he was against the Sixers? I sure hope so because that would create some excitement in the game.
The big looser in this basketball spectacle is Chris Bosh, who must play two positions - center and power forward - under the basket and banging away with every opponent team's defence. Maybe they should be paying Bosh for playing two positions and always getting badly banged up while the rest of the team stands around behind the safety of the 3-point perimeter and watches as Bosh plays with his back to the basket and even setting picks so Rafer can do his something.
I hope that the Raptor's can get high draft picks after their season is finally over .... they deserve it.

Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
I'm interested in seeing the Pierce-Walker connection in action again.
As for the Raptors chances... we'll see. Hopefully Marshall doesn't go cold and keep chucking 3s... although he has done that all season whenever he was cold, so... we'll see.
Looking for another strong performance from Hoffa.

Re: Raptors @ Celtics, March 16th
Boston's been really hot, so we're definitely in for a tough game. Still, we don't match up that badly against the Celts. Except for Pierce, we can score with them across the board, so if we play some solid defence and keep Pierce from going off, I think we could pull this one out.
I don't recall Walker having many big scoring games against us - it'll be interesting to see how he plays tonight. Maybe he and Donyell will take turns chucking up 3's while everybody else watches and cheers them on ...  |
