Lol. Paul Pierce injury prone? He gets injured 1 year and he's injury prone all of a sudden. And if you knew anything, the Celtics were milking his injury because they wanted to get a high lottery pick. Do some research man. Pierce, throughout his career, has an average of 73 games a season. He's only played less than that last year and in his rookie season.

Same for Ray. He gets injured badly one season and people make misconceptions about him. He has an average of 72 games per season.

I wouldn't call either of them injury prone.

Me neither, I was about to throw something.

If they have to continue to play the big three for extended minutes than injuries are a concern, even if they are healthy come play off time they will be fatigued greatly. We will just have to wait and see how these heavy minutes will affect them.

bottomline:

toronto played damn poor through 24 against a damn good team, forced it to OT with alot of heart against a starting lineup that is more then half all-stars, this is still a learning process for the team, still got 79 more games, we WILL improve because of this game, it's over we took an OT L, boston should no longer be on our minds moving forward, we are still the atlantic champions until the 79 is up, or even longer.

Both teams showed a lot of character towards the end of the game. As a Raps fan, Im happy with the results, despite the poor shooting today. We fought hard late and both Bosh and Ford showed great character in the late possessions. The Big Three are legit and they have the right mix of veterans in Boston to succeed, so long as their bodies hold up and are ready to play late in April/May during the playoffs. We'll have 3 more shots at this team, so it'll be interesting how those showdowns end up since imo the sloppiness by both teams in the game was a result of the early afternoon start time.

Good game tho...

I didn't know that Doc wasn't at the game, but the team is still coached by him, they still run the same playbook, still uses the same philosophy. Most of what you see in game has already occurred in practice, and I don't see how it's not Doc's fault that the Celtic's offense isn't better than what it is right now with the 3 stars they have.

My heart sank when Allen hit that 3 pointer.. I thought I was going to die.

Gotta give props to KG though - Bosh was draped all over him but he hit two amazing fadeaway jumpers.

southeasy · 11-04-2007, 07:16 PM

talk about highs & lows, the tj ford 3, after we saw him hit 2 crazy 3's earlier.. HIGH

Ray Allen comes down hits game winning 3 after so it seems never missing all night... ROCK BOTTOM LOW

hahaha i'm alright tho, i'll survive so will my t.o. people in here, this game was a blessing in disguise watch.

ps. toronto, never, ever, never ever ever plays good on early sunday games Lol

chocolove · 11-04-2007, 07:24 PM

I worry for the Celtics, their front court depth is horrible. That being said, as long as KG holds up they have enough shooters for them to be successful. I cant wait until the next time we play them.

Dee-Zy · 11-04-2007, 07:46 PM

Perkins is decent, he is a big body downlow to bang and defend in the paint, alter shots and rebound, that's all they need really. With KG playing 38min a game, that only leaves 10 minutes of non KG on the floor, which can easily be compensated with either Allen and Pierce on the floor. Who's the back up? Pollack?

The Celtics didn't play well either, though.
