GAME PREVIEWS

*Available courtesy of Jay on Game Day*

Prediction

- 92

- 108

Eventhough the Celts have been up and down over these last couple weeks, I still think they have our number. Boston beats us considerably.

Predict and discuss!

**Belsius** · 01-21-2008, 10:00 AM

We are winning this one by 73 points. 135 - 62.
Bargs with 45 points 12 rebounds and 5 blocks on garnett

Well...no, but we I think we are going to win. 95 - 87

Torontosaurus · 01-21-2008, 10:06 AM

Boston's lost a few in the last week or so. Maybe we can catch them unawares.

As long as we give them our full effort the whole 48 minutes, which should be possible with all the days of rest Raps have had, it should be an interesting game.

We're most likely to lose, but you never know - if Bargnani could just break out of his funk...

**Acie** · 01-21-2008, 10:08 AM

If the Raps win I'll shave Go Raps into my chest and run around the block with no shirt on!

LOL Make sure she doesnt read that

ClingRap · 01-21-2008, 10:44 AM

we get em back on their court!
raps 105
celts 101

Sick, Wicked and Nasty! · 01-21-2008, 10:53 AM

Not sure about this one...definitely playing better right now but Garnett has shown in the past he can totally shut Bosh down. I dont' think it'll be a trouncing but i'd be surprised(pleasantly) if we can pull out a win.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 01-21-2008, 12:45 PM

Unless we suddenly change how we play offence or just get insanely hot from 3, we'll have no chance. They pray on predictable halfcourt teams like us. Jose is gonna have to be in forward motion THE ENTIRE GAME for us to even be close. If they unleash Leon Powe on us like they did Philly last game we're gonna get fucked on the boards too.

Celtics 108 Raps 89

**INSIDER** · 01-21-2008, 12:58 PM

can we win at least one against these guys!
please!

let KG get his, he always will... but limit Ray and keep Peirce cold... thats our only chance.
oh and dont let anyone from their bench get hot.
if either posey or house get double digits, its over.

moremilk · 01-22-2008, 01:15 PM

10 point game, and close all the way to the end of the last quarter. With one minute left they'll lead by 6.

01-22-2008, 06:46 PM

Another loss
another bad game for Bargnani
Bosh just wont be enough.

**Jay** · 01-23-2008, 12:31 AM

I never make predictions and I am about to show why.

Raps win by 3.
Andrea (White Yogi) Bargnani - 15 points

I am going on a limb here but I think that there is a small chance Raps will lose this game...
