All in all we played pretty well. Dominated the first half, and went basket for basket in the 4th, despite the celtics being all fired up, and the crowd behind them. In the end it was bad luck in the final two minutes, we fumbled one too many balls. Hopefully once JO gets more accustomed, some of these turnovers will be eliminated. Also, Jose needs to get some balls and start shooting more, even when he's having a bad night. He's a great shooter, and sooner or laters shots will start falling.

it wasn't a good game then...

Moon or Joey wouldn't have done any better, nor would they have made some of the heady plays on O that Kapono did.

it was just a heart breaking loss.
and JO just totally choked

EggsToTheBBQ · 11-10-2008, 11:30 PM

The best Raptors tonight (in my humble opinion)
1) J.O.
2) Joey!!!
3) Moon

Exactly.

Those careless turnovers at the end are what really did us in.

The MVP of West Hollywood · 11-10-2008, 11:31 PM

I have to say though, that I feel much better after this loss than the Detroit or Atlanta ones. Losing to the league's best team in their building is no shame, especially when our best player was clearly tired as fuck and Bargs was a non-factor... this was a "nothing to lose" game from the start. I do think it was their homecourt energy that just overtook us, if there's one point in the game where I think we "lost it" was when we were up by 15 ish and the Celtics were still playing like crap, and we had like 3 turnovers in a row and a couple other bad offensive sets. As a result we kept them in it and then when KG's taunted started and the crowd got into it I knew we would give up the lead. We needed to get that lead up to like 20 headed into the 4th.

He looked tired at the end for sure.

Choke is like when you have a wide open dunk and you throw it off the backboard. I don't think that's the right word.

I think everyone on the Raptors was waiting for the real Chris Bosh to show up.

I Fuckin Hate Kevin Garnette!

Too many miscues and slips.
As much as he helped us, he hurt us.

They are the champs. They turned the intensity up by 16521321875 in Q4 and we wilted..... fumbled the ball away too many times.

And PP was brilliant... gotta give it up to him.

It shouldnt be a one on one fest anyway, especially after Pierce opens up with their first like 10 points, we should have had a 2nd defender at least pretend like theyre coming to double and go back to their man, or just hard double against him like we were doing with Jose and Moon in the first half against him. There was no help at all for Jkaps in the 4th and thats just unacceptable on all levels of NBA defence. But its not all that surprising with all we've seen in terms of individual performances vs the Raptors with Smitch as coach.

But again, thats not the main reason we lost.

The main reason we lost is Bosh shits his pants everytime he sees KG or Wallace near him, and Jose just refuses to be aggressive off screen and roll. At least VC went to the basket once in a while, Jose just pulls it out and passes it to one of the wingmen who cant do anything with it. Jose really disappointed me tonight, Bosh I expected to suck, but Jose I thought would step up in the 4th especially after the KG taunt. Jose played like Roko out there.

Vince f*ckd the dog in his last few years. Garnet is just annoying. I'd rather see Garnet every night, than cheer for a team with Vince on it.

XiaominWu · 11-10-2008, 11:47 PM

I'd like to have Garnett on my team. I could deal with how annoying he is.

khujo56 · 11-10-2008, 11:47 PM

Man..i ordered raps tv to catch the game only to have rogers tell me that there service is down..for like 5 hours. So i missed the whole game. Listened to it on the radio. None the less..we only played for 3 quaters. I really don't get sam..How the hell can you put Kapono on Pierce. Pierce ripped him up.
Bosh was off, joe was off....our bench is nowhere to be seen. Bargnani is looks lost on the court. I had high hopes on the team this year. Lets hope i'm right

Gurk · 11-10-2008, 11:48 PM

Yo Khujo you could've just watched the game on the net. It's way better then listening to it on the radio

khujo56 · 11-10-2008, 11:50 PM
