Raptors (7-9) at Celtics (11-4) 11/27

[Drucci]

We're attacking the hoop and hitting the outside shot. So far, so good, the D seems to step up a bit. But we need to stop turning the ball over!

[Surferdad]

other than the first few games...boston hasn't really defended like they even did last year without KG....

This is true.

We're 12 for 13...missed one shot and we're only up 2?

Tell me again offense wins games.

I love Rondo's game man. Wow. And this time he's bringing it 5 minutes into the game already. That's new, isn't it?

[Neurotic Guy]

Shooting better than 90% yet could lose the quarter.  Ouch.  But, Rondo looks great so far (at least offensively) and we are scoring at will.  Let's get a couple of stops!

no defense and 6 turnovers keeping the raptors around

The C's are 12 for 13 from the floor and only up 2 points!  

It's the same old story --- they had a day off to practice and prepare for this game.  Playing at home which usually gives them extra energy.  And yet this team still cannot start a game with any defensive intensity.  Tom T has been hailed as a defensive genius so it can't be coaching.  Doc and the players to a man say they are a defensive team but they no longer play defense.  Why???

5 turnovers makes us a lot more like 12 for 18. Still no excuse for some of the scores the Raptors have been getting, but worth mention.

here comes the 3s for the raptors

[Drucci]

When Sheed is in the paint, you know you're playing against some really soft D.

[Neurotic Guy]

Its Rondo FT time

[Kiorrik]

I just noticed Rondo defended well but refuses to fight over screens as soon as he gets a foul.

[USG]

Another good move by Rondo.

Hey, anyone know how they score a missed alley-oop? Is it a turnover, a missed shot by the passer, or a missed shot by the would-be scorer?

[RJ87]

Rondo 2 for 2 from the line

[Kiorrik]

Its Rondo FT time

WOOOHOOOOOOO :D:D
