Re: Nov. 4th: Celtics (1-0) @ Toronto (2-0)
After watching the post game interviews in full the raptors are confident it almost borders on arrogant lol these guys now know that Boston ain't cracked up to what the media hypes them to be

Re: Nov. 4th: Celtics (1-0) @ Toronto (2-0)
Well considering how bad they shot in the first half, we should be content with that effort. Sometimes, you know, shots don't drop.
I though the coaching staff messed up with the idea of letting Bosh vs KG settle the OT game, particulary since Bosh's conditioning is iffy and he had already played 40 minutes. You could see him on the second last possession, he could barely stand as he straggled up court on offence.
No slight to Bosh, but why not stick to our offence, and why not double down on KG, it worked pretty well for the previous 24 minutes...
TJ was outrageously clutch. Of course, this scares me, because a lot of the time he stops passing late in close games when he shouldn't. But he did hit Kapono(?) with a nice dime near the end of regulation.

Bosh is the best we have, if he couldn't stop him then no one could. Even if he isn't 100%, I don't think anyone else can do as good a job. I'm pretty sure KG can hit that fadeaway pretty much over anyone in the league, so we shouldn't worry too much about it.
Plus we did double KG, but since he is such a good passer, it doesn't really help. I remember Posey hit back to back 3s off of KG passing out of the post.

From the last play,
Parker got screened around the baseline area, thats y he's lated for 1 second to go cover Ray Allen.
Should have make a switch defense on that one.
and we used all our time-outs......

Re: Nov. 4th: Celtics (1-0) @ Toronto (2-0)
In hindsight it's really amazing that we were able to take Boston to Overtime when 3 of our most important players had such offnights.
Bargnani... 2-13
Bosh....... 5-15
Calderon... 2-11
In Overtime Sam could of forced KG to be the passer, but after seeing Ray Allen light it up from 3 all game (7-11) it was a hard decision to make. That's whats gonna make Boston so tough this year, they have a lot of weapons, and veterans that perform when it counts the most.
I can't wait for round 2, hopefully we can repay them on thier homecourt

Sam comments on not doubling KG in OT.....

“Let me see, James Posey hit three threes late in the game Ray Allen made seven; Eddie House made two or three. So where we going to come from? The problem with Kevin is if you come too early he picks you apart if you come too late he beats you and two of the shots he hit are fadeaway jump shots with Chris hanging off him.”
