Well i'm confident we won't lose by 45points but that's about it. I have no idea... Boston has to play a bad game sometime! 9 an 0 at home is tough but it can't last forever and our healthy guys are playing good right now. I think it'll actually be close but it's so hard to bet against Boston right now(i'm trying though, really

).

**Ball Don't Lie** · 12-07-2007, 02:42 PM

We have no one to defend KG well the entire game, Rasho will do ok for half the game, but then we're gonna have to double because whoever is on him wont have a chance, then their shooters will kill us. Sucks that the big boys arent playing, hopefully theyll be back for the Sunday game that I'm going to

BOS 101 TOR 90

Yes well, sadly this one's not going to be a win but I am going cheer 'em on like a crazy person. Poor hubby's ears ...

moremilk · 12-07-2007, 07:51 PM

memo #1 to Ford: when you throw to Jamario, aim for the sky, Moon can jump ...
memo #2 to Ford: when you throw to Rasho, aim for his head, Rasho can't jump more than 3 inches ...

moremilk · 12-07-2007, 07:52 PM

and btw, I can't believe that those 2 passes to Moon's feet were recorded as TOs to Moon, and not to Ford ...

**Belsius** · 12-07-2007, 07:52 PM

bad start but we managed to recover. Defense is going to win this game. If we defend well and we can shoot over 50% maybe we can get this game.

**Belsius** · 12-07-2007, 08:05 PM

joey and humps are killing our game

**Benzo** · 12-07-2007, 08:18 PM

Did Maceo Baston sleep with Sam's wife?

moremilk · 12-07-2007, 08:23 PM

when we suck, we suck really bad ... It looks like our players don't really believe we can do anything against the celtics, so they decided to just mail one in ...

**Belsius** · 12-07-2007, 08:24 PM

Thats the only thing I can imagine BEnzo because we really need him now. We are going to get killed

ClingRap · 12-07-2007, 08:26 PM

He is turning it over so fast that the scorer can't keep up. He has at least 4 t/o but the box only shows 2 .UNBELIEVABLE I better get my calculator out whats TJ up to 5 t/o and counting.

raptor123 · 12-07-2007, 08:37 PM

Another t/o by ford mitch just shakes his head take the guy out and sit him.

raptor123 · 12-07-2007, 08:39 PM

Once again our guys just can't make their shots and we seem to be lost from from the start of the game.

Taz · 12-07-2007, 09:20 PM

Right folks ... I love my basketball but these guys are not competing right now. As such, I am pissed and am boycotting the rest of the game. Goodnight all ... hello comfy bed.

Dr. J. Naismith · 12-07-2007, 09:52 PM

WOW .... hands down the most embarrassing Raptor game that I've ever watched. I mean, not for a second did I think we'd win, but there wasn't an honest effort from one Raptor tonight. OK, maybe Juan but that's about it.

Hurry up Bosh and Bargnani.
