Great team effort this afternoon, one for the vault. Personally I thought Barbosa did an exceptional job coming in, pushing the tempo, and playing the point. He also hid some of Demar's offensive deficiencies early in the game. In order for the Raptors to continue their stride. They need better production from Weems and DeRozan.
On a side note, since early this week, Bargnani has emerged as the focal point of this team. And boy has he done a great job. I'm glad we broke the eight game losing streak against Boston dating back to 2007. I'm sticking to my belief is that this Raptors squad is better than last years squad. It seems that with Bosh as our main option it caused the roster to become one dimensional. Therefore making it easier for other teams to know our game plan.
Now we're playing like a team... AND I LOVE IT!
Lets keep the streak alive... GO RAPTORS GO!!We all make mistakes... Tanking is not the answer.. This squad can ball! Let it roll!!

Great team effort. Bargnani is definately earning his nomination to the all-star game ballot. I thought KG would bully him but it just goes to show you Bargs has the tools and talent to play up the competition. He's consistently doing well so far. As for Amir, and all the haters out there on him, I wouldn't classify them as "haters". Moreso, it just goes to show you that Amir, when playing smart and not getting too many ticky-tack fouls, he can alter the game. He plays so aggressive that he can't help but get those fouls.
The refs... though I thought they were an experienced bunched showed some questionable calls on both teams. Ah well, they do have one of the hardest jobs in professional sports, along with the Umps and Refs of the other sports league.

Wtf is this, we need to be tanking; we're only a game back from the 8th seed.
That said, this was a glorious win. It doesn't matter whether they have Rondo out or not, they're still far more talented then we are.
Bargs is looking like he's starting to grow a bit more, this must be one of his more consistent stretches of play. Bosh always pussied out against the Celtics, but today Bargs took it right at KG. He looked godly at times.
What the hell does Amir need to do to get more PT? If he played more in the 3rd, that 17-3 Boston run would've been greatly lessened at the very least. They were completely ignoring Reggie as an offensive threat out there.
DD was disappointing today, he's still inconsistent. I thought he'd be able to run circles around Jesus today. Can we get English to work with him on his shot too...?

i dont want raptors to win this whole season.
I WANT KYRIE IRVING OR HARRISON BARNES NOT A FIRST ROUND EXIT
If this were an older team I might agree with you.
However it is a young team so they need to get that playoff experience, the sooner the better, no matter what the outcome the first time through.
BC is committed to building around the young guys that is obvious.

He still has to learn to play good defense more consistently without fouling.
Triano now has him finishing games which is a big step up.

For example the Bruins have a guy who if he continues to develop he could become one of if not the best players in college basketball this season and I don't mean Reeves Nelson who will probably be a first round pick.
Tyler Honeycutt has the ability to become the best player in the 2011 draft.
He can do it all now that he has added an outside shot to his arsenal including play tough defense
Right now he is averaging 16 PPG, 8 RPG and 3 + APG. He is a straight up SF at about 6'8"
To put his assists in perspective Russell Westbrook averaged only 4 APG in his last season at UCLA.
So for a SF to get 3 + APG in the Howland system which is pretty off the charts.Last edited by Buddahfan; Sun Nov 21, 2010, 07:33 PM.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s
