Celtics (25-9) at Raptors (18-18) 1/10

[Kiorrik]

Excellent start to the first quarter. Poor play since then.

Toronto's athleticism at the SG-SF-PF spots and length inside has caused some problems. Celtics badly need KG back to matchup better against some of these athletic and/or perimeter orientated bigs.

Not all poor play; refs are gunning for us too.

Kevin Faulk must feel like the only patriot today...

I hope the Raptors play Banks a lot today. 

Calderon is back in the lineup

I miss Marcus!!!!!

I was surprised to see Banks play so well for the Raptors. I thought he was done as an NBA player.

Banks actually looked like a serviceable player out there. When was the last time you could say that? 3-4 years ago? Before he joined the Phoenix Suns.

A very good third string point or a low level primary backup. Limited his mistakes, low turnovers, good shot selection, decent scoring efficiency, ran the offense reasonably well, and played solid defense. He was doing a nice job for Toronto.

Edit: 2005/06 was the last time Banks looked like an NBA player out there. His last season in Boston and half a season in Minny where he scored the ball well.

Refs aren't the problem.

They're not contributing.

They're poor all around though.
