Celtics (29-9) at Raptors (16-21) 1/11

if boston loses this game...then it is over...blowing a 20 point 4th quarter lead is unacceptable

I think we'll win, but our bench forced the starters to play 8 extra minutes. Not good with a home at home. Even worse after all the game they played last week.

KG and BBD are something like 4-28 today.

Yup and a lot of those are inside shots.

pierce not much better..now ony down 8..this team looks like a team that doesnt know how to win games.....20 point lead down to 8??? Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.

rondo's speed is wasted on the other starters. They are too old in tehe 4th to keep up. This is why it is a mistake to give them too many minutes.

closer than i wanted, but the captain seals the deal.

I do not care that they are going to win today. This is a mediocre team at best right now. Almost blowing a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter versus a Toronto team without O'Neill and Calderon is just ridiculous.

I'll take any win right now. We should kill them tomorrow though....

I hope Doc continues to play the totally useless Eddie House. And no Gabe in the second half. Why should Gabe play?  He is only effective every time he is on the floor, so keep giving minutes to the do-nothing, pound the ball into the floor House.

whoah...pierce decided to show up. forgot he was even out there playing

I remember saying the same thing about Powe, Gomes, Rondo, and Jefferson.

well gotta step up tomorrow and get cranking..at least the losing streak is done...for the most part defense was better...don't like the lead being lost but a W feels sassy

Vinnie with his usual pessimism. Are you ever happy?

[vinnie]

Nice D in the fourth quarter -- 33 points for the raptors. And once again, the C's score 20 or less. I know there will be many fans here that say the rest of us are overreacting, but it is obvious that this team has serious issues.

I like Eddie House. I always have. However, I like him when he is the shooter off the bench, not the PG running the offense.

we need kapono off the bench...danny make it happen....rather win by 6 than lose by 3 to the freakin bobcats...boston will hammer the raptures tomorrow...then the nets..
