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

One other interesting theme I am seeing in the forums this year. Every game, many posters writing how the other teams can't miss tonight and that is why the Celtics are behind or why their defense looks worse than it really is. Did you ever stop to think that maybe the other team is hitting so many of their shots because so many are uncontested? It can't just be a coincidence that every team the Celtics plays all of a sudden becomes one of the best shooting teams in the league.

TP for you.

66% in a half is literally 2 for every 3 shots. For Toronto's case, that's 22-33. It's right there. Like someone said, 20 points in the paint for Toronto. REally?

tommy has it right tonight

Offense comes and goes but effort on defense is a constant.  It's what bailed the C's out on nights they struggled offensively.

I disagree to that to some extend. D = Effort, but you can definitely make offense into something solid, smooth and consistent as well.

Do both, and you win.

BOX
OUT

Well, at least Wallace is coming out of his slump..good game from him so far.

The Raptors can score 150 points tonight for all I care..as long as the Celtics score 151 .

I would rather see the C's play good defense and lose than play horrible defense and win.

Oh c'mon now you don't really mean that, MattG12. So this means you were happy when the Celtics lost to ORL?

Great start --- two straight trips with the Raptors getting easy putbacks then giving up a fast break.

Guess no one decided to play defense during the halftime break  my goodness this is PITIFUL

[celticinorlando]

just standing around on defense watching...not even boxing out....

[Drucci]

OK, NOW we are awful on both ends.

Ray didn't help on the penetration on that play and didn't box out DeRozan on that dunk. Rondo gave him a dirty look after that.

[USG]

Rondo'd

[celticinorlando]

this could turn into a blow out real quick if the Cs keep this up....bad bad basketball team

[Kiorrik]

Why the poopoo did Rondo dunk there hahahaha, that was such, such a slow, random dunk As if he wanted to state that he was angry :]

[celticinorlando]

first offensive board i have seen in some time

[USG]

How can that NOT be a basket?! He's IN THE AIR!

BALL DON'T LIE! Ray gets the 3-point play!
