Raptors (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Preseason Game #1

[D.o.s.]

If this is basically what we see from this team night in night out, I'll be thrilled.  We may lose a lot of games, but this team will be fun to watch and I think we'll be competitive in most games.   Hard to tell how this group will jell (or the impact Rondo and Stephens will have), but I like the talent, focus, and the grit in this first half of a pre-season game.

Agreed.

Also stoked that Crawford took 1 shot in ten minutes, that Wallace isn't phoning it in, the entire team's ball movement, and that we're crashing the offensive glass.

Welcome back, all!
If it wasn't for Mike and Tommy, all this change would really mess with my head. And aside from a cold start and 16 TOs, not a bad first half. And I don't even hate Humphries yet.

Tommy thinks Hansborough is the kind of player you want to just punch in the mouth. Classic.

Tommy is a legend, and for good reason. And he loves the Klynyk, too.

We're going to love this team, even in their many losses. Coach Stevens need to find a better fit for Bass if they want to build his trade value. Courtney Lee will need lots of minutes, too. Hump and Crash are in the right path, good job so far.

53/48...

16 turnovers caused by the great Celtics defense... If we could make at least 3-4 extra FG.. 39.41% shooting percentage, then we'd be leading by now. But I enjoy the playing and ball making.

9 assists, 16 turnovers for Toronto.

12 assists, 3 turnovers for the Celtics.

Those are cool stats.

Quote of the night "Thats the kinda guy you just wanna punch in the face"

They'll say it doesn't matter, but I'd like to see them get the W.

Want to see Presey  pushing ball to bigs  low and Green

[Neurotic Guy]

The only under-performing guy in the half was Jeff Green and I don't really mind what I saw from him.  A couple of good passes, a couple of aggressive drives, and at least one rush to the rim on the offensive glass.  I'd like to see him get hot in the 2nd half and finish a few at the rim.   

[SCeltic34]

Interestingly we only have 6 rebounds total, nobody has more than 1 rebound.  Doesn't help that the Raptors are shooting 59%.
