Game #37: Toronto Raptors 83 - Boston Celtics 88

[Mack North]

Balls. Ah Well, let's look forward to Minnesota

[Darien]

what. the. fuw.

[white men can't jump]

So much badness in this game. So brutal. It hurt my eyes

[MACK11]

We got killed on the boards and second chance points, we couldn't make free throws and came out with shitty effort! Good game raptors

[MangoKid]

They laid an egg. Not a good game plan. Just one of those nights. You tip your hat to the Celtics on the win and you move on. No point dwelling on it. They have a tough game versus Minnesota next and they're gonna see a MUCH better version of Sullinger (who was fantastic tonight - 25 points on 14 shots! and 20 boards) in Kevin Love.

[psrs1]

Being a good team is about winning the games you're supposed to win and some of the games you aren't. I'd say the raptors have done that over the past 5weeks. Ya I'd say they are good. I'd also say they are far from great

They sure proved that tonight.

[torch19]

We deserved to lose this game & we did. I hope it sends a message to the team that you CANNOT look past an opponent. If they showed the same effort in the 4th as they dis the first 3, we'd blow them out of the water. But that didn't happen, Casey should grill them after this loss.

Looking forward to the response on Friday

The Raptors played like a couple of Bargnanis in tonight's loss, shame to be on top of the division.

Raptors
Lowry played great in the 4th quarter but he lacked motivation for tonight's game but still managed to carry the torch for tonight
DeRozan played like Rudy Gay, chucking up shots in the 4th quarter to fill up his stats
Ross had an off night
Amir still need to recover from the flu and get better
Val got manhandled by Sullinger

Celtics
Phil Pressey is the new "DeRozan-Stopper"
Avery Bradley played like an allstar tonight
Gerald Wallace played like his former Bobcats self, schooled Ross and played tough defense on him
Jeff Green had an off night but still managed to play tough defense on the Raptors
Sullinger SHAQ-ed us tonight

Overall, we lost to the ****ing Celtics because we 1) thought we could own this game 2) looked down upon them so didn't take this seriously. From now on, we need to take every game seriously

[Uncle_Si]

They sure proved that tonight.

It's one game. The wizards beat the heat by 17 and were up 30 at one point.

lol 20 pts on 21 shots is allstar worthy??

[The Great One]

Amir Johnson and JV should be embarassed. Jared Sullinger ate them alive tonight. There was one possession in the 3rd where Sullinger grabbed 3 straight offensive rebounds. Unbelievable. Amir looked sluggish. And he's played like that the last 3-4 games. JV played like a stiff.

Also, Dwane Casey should stop calling timeouts because the Raps usually ends up turning the ball over or taking a bad shot.

For example, 77-74. DC called a timeout. DeRozan ended up shooting an airball. Not sure if he was trying to make a pass to Amir or what.

Another one, 81-78. Raps ball. DC called a timeout. DeRozan ended up taking a tough fadeaway shot. Are you kidding me??

[consmap]

I'm not defending our bad play, but JV was sick tonight so I'll give him a pass.

Everyone else... bleh.

[ceez]

There's going to be bad nights where nothing goes right.

There's also losing to a undermanned ****ing team. Pathetic.

[iblastoff]

looks like sacramento going to beat timberwolves. if we don't, thats just even more pathetic.

[draftedraptor]

amir johnson is regressing back to his career stats.

sell sell sell
