Celtics (9-3) at Raptors (4-9) 11/21

I think we're underestimating the impact that losing Rondo, (our floor general), and double-figure assists, is having on this team. That has a HUGE affect on how these Celtics run their game, and it will take major adjustments to overcome.

It's only November and it really does look the C's are starting to close up shop already.

The motion offense breaks down without him.  No one else is confident/skilled enough to make the timely reads. 

But the real culprit is the D.  Robinson/West are definitely downgrades from Raj defensively, but the biggest problem has been with the Shaq/Baby/Erden contingent.  Late rotations, bad fouls.

[Q_FBE]

They just can't seem to get it going at all.

[JohnBagleyValueMeal]

Erden, Davis and Daniels are all have a +/- of -19. West is -22.

[Bahku]

Nice flop.

[JohnBagleyValueMeal]

Also, the sky is most definitely not falling. It's a long season and Sunday afternoon games in Toronto don't make or break a season.

Dick Bavetta is certainly in playoff form.

[Bahku]

Wow ... double-standard here with the calls on Shaq.

[ejk3489]

Geez, they are calling everything today.

[Q_FBE]

Bye Bye Shaq

[Bahku]

Better defense the last couple of trips, but we've got to keep attacking the basket, not threes, (unless Ray is open).

[RMO]

There's such a thing as too unselfish.  When what should be a layup off a fast break results in two three point shots and zero points, that is too unselfish.
