CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Comments from the Other Side

One thing I have to say about the Raptors fans, they might not like their team very much but they sure to talk about it a lot. One board had over 90 pages, one had over 50 and a third had over 20 pages. Most of the posts were trashing their own team, but there were a few gems about the Celtics too. Enjoy!

Team might as well forfeit and head back to T.O....

Excuse me, while I go and have a nightmare about the next game.

Prediction
Raptors come out firing
67-55 at the half.
Everyone is excited at how quickly this team turned around
Final Boston 116 - Toronto 98

There's no "D" in Toronto Raptors... But there's a crap load of "O's"

Sad thing is, despite this negativity, they actually will show up for this game and lead for a decent amount of the game, but then go back to their old ways in the 2nd half. What a predictable team we have on our hands..

Prediction: KG shoves CB4 to the floor 3 times and CB4 just shrugs it off...rest of the teammates don't stand up for CB4 because they're pussiesJose GEts burned on D repeatedly, Tries to make up for it by handing Gatorade to the rest of the bench Boston has a 20 pt lead at the 8 minute mark of the 1st quarter

Prediction: Garnett goes up to Jose and punches his defence-less face.

Then when Jose's down, I hope KG sacks him too, then proceeds to go over to the bench and sack Jarrett Jack along with Jay Triano and Antoine Wright....he is allowed to do this without suspension. He gets a by in the first round of the playoffs if he does it.

Don't really have much confidence in this team right now

There gonna win this one for sure.
Boston is Overrated and we're underrated cause we lost today.
I call a Hedo buzzer shot Raps win 108-107.

In an effort to sustain the one step forward one step back theme, I suggest we will win one of the next 2, followed promptly by threads about how big we should build our trophy case, and lose one of the next 2, followed promptly by threads about where we should hide the bodies.

Best case they play like they did against Phoenix, lost in the 4th, worst case we get blown out like in Denver.. Either way, no chance for a win here.....

I am almost praying for a beat down like the one we got from Denver last year so we can finally get rid of JT and get a real coach like Saunders or JVG.

Its the physical players that bully us. And unfortunately with KG/Sheed/Perk/Rondo that's just whats going to happen Friday. Guys like SJax/Gwall just killed us because they are physically taking it to our wings, this time it will be the bigs turn to get bullied.

KG "I'M'A BULLY THESE N.... O wait, white guys."

I guarantee you Jay will pull out his starters for the game after 1 quarter once we're down 20

Like 'em or hate 'em, Celtics at 80% effort will still beat the Raps comfortably. Celtics, 116-88.

Boston beat Charlotte by 33 earlier this year, we lost to them by 35... Uh-oh.

We sure don't play like we should be we always play Boston well and the Celts are very shaky right now. Close game, Raps win...

I'm actually feeling a win here tonight. The Celtics have been struggling big time lately and will under estimate the Raptors thus resulting in a loss for them!

If the game is close, the Raps should start hacking Rondo. He is shooting 33% from the free throw line

2 bosh killers on the same team. I expect another horrible game from bosh.

I don't care what happens if I get to see someone put KG on the ground. It's a shame the Raptors are a team of nice guys.

I hate KG and Rondo

Sheed is still a but chunky and not in his best game shape.
KG is still a bit gimpy.
If there's any time for Bosh to shake off his demons against these guys it's now. Statement game for him.

There is no way we are going to beat them...They actually play defence we have like no chance cause our defence is our offence LOL

I'm expecting the Malace at the Place, Air Canada style. If Garnett starts acting like the racist dick he is, and start waving fingers at our players, I wanna see someone their beer at him.

I wouldn't waste my ice cold beer on that clown.

Chris is completely indimidated

Our shots are going in now but during the second half when Boston tightens their D and we hit a wall, the game will be over

Interesting fact so far: Boston have so many points in the paint and all of them uncontested = 0 free throws for them

Wright is a freakin black hole. He's like a fat kid with a candy bar. Once he gets his hands on it, he ain't givin it up for nothin.....

Rondo looks like he's just messin around out there. He pretty much knows he can do whatever he wants at will.

Hahaha, Boston's shooting 83%. Hahahaha

Sheed only got the tech to make the game remotely interesting.

Sheed is still one of the most entertaining players in the NBA. Hes fun even when hes screwing around.

Looks like we have a fresh new excuse for the Charlotte game--they're killing the Cavs right now.

What happened to the Celtics league best defense. Did they decide they didn't need to try defensively tonight to beat us, so they might as well chill out and have fun?

When a team normally as detail-oriented and intense as Boston just goes through the motions like this, what you've got is a case of taking a game for granted.

Now we know why bosh never passes...
Because he can't.

We used to play up to our opponent.
That takes too much effort though.
So we found a way to make a team play down to us.

Most quiet crowd of the season...

Their voices are gone from cheering so much. It's not every day their team scores on every possession.

I wish Boston would start taking this game seriously right now and blow us out. Instead of waiting and winning by only 10-20 later in the game. Give this pathetic group more excuses to keep this garbage piled together.

Finally they whistle KG for manhandling Bosh

I'm pretty sure Boston is treating this like a scrimmage and getting some cardio in, and wer not winning anything lol.

Anyone notice Bargs run back and do a good job on Ray Allen after turning it over??? No, cause hes is the lazy and doesn't care and cant defend mah grandma....

Amir picks up fouls quicker than Eddy Curry35. eats bigmac's.... He has 3 fouls in 5 minutes tonight.

35 year old Ray Allen has more energy than our whole team.

Throw Pierce to the floor please. If you're going to use a foul, USE IT.

Wright needs to stop shooting NOW!

I will hire one of you to go take out Wright's legs. No joke, I'll pay you 1000 dollars.

$2000 an you have a deal.

As the season progresses, you will up that number.

Shoot, I'll do it for free man...just provide a crow bar, a six pack of Heinikens, and a ski mask and I'm game.

Our whole team is a team of scrubs

The refs decided it was time to get Hedo out of the game since he was beginning to burn the Celts. Just like they did to Bargs at the last game vs Orlando.

Even Kendrick Perkins dominates bosh - barg duo.. Worst defense in nba history

Perkins is a real center and has 40 pounds on Bosh, there's no way Bosh should have to guard a guy like Perkins unless on a switch.

If Pierce is just going to smash his fat ass into the paint every time at least make him pay for it.

This is the most frustrating raps team ever. I really hate this team

Daniels looking like the next Kobe against us

Why do I bother on being a Raptor fan?

H man PIERCE IS NASTY! That was fierce .... Pretty huge offensive foul though lol.
Sick stuff though.

Dirty play by Pierce.

I wish reggie was on the floor because he would punch pierce in the face next time he drives.

Our coaching staff should have started a brawl, it's not like they're doing any coaching.

Watch this **** get posted on nba.com as highlight dunk of the day. **** dirty play.

That play culminates tonight, Boston is just a tough team, we're not . . . Offensive or not, our team just got dunked over and bitch slapped.

Bosh is angry @ KG for letting Pierce hurt him.

I have the solution to our problems. We need to free Marcus Banks . I can't see how he can do any worse than Jose out there.

Perk 4 mvp

We need a Big like Perkins at the C position for this team to ever be successful...

Utterly disgraceful.
The complete void of D is incidental to me to the fact that not one guy confronted Pierce after flattening Bosh.
What was once incompetence is now that plus cowardice.

sometimes I wonder which one I hate most pierce or garnett?

I hate Scalabrine ... The guy eats his own press as a fan favourite.

How can they say we are inconsistent. We consistently play no D, suck on 3rd Q, and shoot jumper after jumper.

Wow. I like watching a lot of these aging veterans on the Celtics get back on D every time and all of our guys in their primes walking up the floor gassed.
Priceless.
