I'm excited. Your sources are always reliable

Morris will probably play.. they'll get a couple of days of rest and will be at home. He hurt his ankle, but he apparently walked out of the locker room in sneakers He's been really good for them lately.. actually any guy on any night can be really good for them. Going to be a real tough match up. I don't expect any kind of blow out win like last time around. If anything I have a feeling it will be a low scoring affair.

A win here should cement the #1 seed. We'll own the tie breaker with a win (will have a better overall record against our division even if we lose the last game). So our magic number should go down from 5 to 2.

A loss though would be really tough for my psyche.

With 3 days rest, I want to see a beating by the Raptors.

If this game takes place in 1930 I hope everyone is wearing cool hats and the dance pack is dressed like flappers

Im not expecting a blow out by any means but they at least need to win by like 10 because if its really close down the stretch Boston will win. They've done it enough times this season at this point.

Celts are 27-15 in 'clutch' games. Raps are 25-16. Can we please stop with this ridiculous talking point.

Looking forward to seeing a Raptors team focused for all 48 minutes again.

My guy Grant Hill made it!!

Grant Hill, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash have been notified that each will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2018, sources tell ESPN. Formal announcement comes at Final Four weekend.

Love that Hill made it. Probably got in more for his NCAA resume more than his NBA resume, but either way.. good for him. Nash and Kidd were no brainers.

DeMar DeRozan has been excused from Raptors practice today. He went home to LA to be with his family.

Ok i'm going to stop criticizing DeRozan now. I think i have an idea why he looked disenterested lately.

Wow, lot of time off before this one.

[ebrian]

Wow, looking at those lineups there's really no excuse. Time to kick some Celtic butt!

Demar probably only needs two more season to surpass Hill's point total.
