<div align="center">VS Toronto Raptors (6-0) Boston Celtics (3-4) Venue: TD Banknorth Garden Date: wednesday October 25th, 2006 TipOff time: 7:30 PM Eastern</div> both teams come in with their all-stars nursing injuries. Chris Bosh will likely sit again with a sore right heel, and Andrea Bargnani will also likely miss his 2nd consecutive game with a sprained ankle, and TJ Ford will sit again with his sore hamstring. Story Paul Pierce is also a no go tonight because of an infected left middle finger that stemmed from a paper cut he is still being treated for. Story Raptors look to remain perfect, with a short line-up that the Celts will look to exploit. Rajon Rondo has been brilliant in his pre-season preformances, and the Raps will need another strong showing from Kris Humphries and Fred Jones in order to keep pace. Should be an interesting game.

Are you sure Bargnani's out? The link you provided says he's in. Hopefully we can see the whole team in action on friday.

Parker's defense on Wally is really below par tonight. There was one play when Wally just backed him down in two dribbles and scored on an easy hook without even a hand in his face.
Premium I think you put a caption for Calderon's picture "TJ Ford" and for a picture of a Derrick Martin you put a caption of "Jose Calderon" <div class="quote_poster">Premium Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> Paul Pierce is also a no go tonight because of an infected left middle finger that stemmed from a paper cut he is still being treated for. Story</div> I thought that was a joke when I read it.
<div class="quote_poster">rafy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">my god tommy heinsohn is even worse then swirsks...</div> Yeah I gotta correct myself whenever I say Chuck is the biggest homer ever... Heinsohn has officially earned that title now. "That was a terrible call!" The game was exciting to watch at times and equally painful other times. But oh well, a win's a win. For some reason, we always pick things up in the third quarter... what gives? It was the opposite last season.
I agree about Heinsohn. Swirsky squared. I like his response to half our roster: "Yeah, well you know, those European players..." The Raps were nasty in a halfcourt offense. It's only when they made a stop on defense or grabbed a rebound that they really got their offense going. Seems to suggest that we might be a streaky team.

I changed the name, but I was too lazy to find a picture and insert it. Sooo, that's what Delonte looks like for the Raps forum from now on. lol.
-parker played with a lot more confidence in the final three minutes of the game -mo pete looked really good -caledron outplayed the celtic backcourt, deciding factor in the game i believe -btw, for the first 6 minutes in the third quarter- the raps look like phoenix east -humpries just out works his opponets and he did just that in this game From a Celtic Perspective -was it just me or did paul pierce look like a defeated man watching his team lose to division rival who arguably sat out their 2 best players?
-for some reason mo p and ap couldn't stop wally, which is kind of sad when you look at it -Rasho is really helpless in this system so far -Kris is way more effective out there with AB then Rasho. -Rondo had a really quiet game, considering last time we met -Jose, 11-11 from the stripe. Really improved there. Last thing, I won't be surprised if Kris becomes the starting center later in the season. I'm not even joking.

But the way I see it, sam needs wins. Even if he's going to displease that man to give him his job back at the end of the year. Right now Humphries is making rasho look like he's 40. The only real way to make Brian happy is wins. And even that might not be good enough. So imo sam just has to play the guys who deserve it.
