Raptors (4-10) at Celtics (4-8) 1/18

Rondo looks good.

[GrandTheftRondo]

We look great so far...

[nickagneta]

Boston not playing outstanding defense. Toronto has missed a bunch of open looks.

That said, I don't care. Luck in making and not making shots has to turn the Celtics way at some point, right?

Rondo looking all world tonight though he is being guarded by the stationary chair known as Jose Calderon.

haha don't know if we can infer much from this performance.

[PosImpos]

Nothing like the Toronto Raptors to fix your 1st quarter scoring woes, huh?

[raynman]

No win situation tonight for the C's.

Lose and the situation becomes nuclear, win and the haters are still unsatisfied.

Oh well, gotta go out and get the W anyways.

Pundits might be pleased if Celtics win by 50 tonight..

[PosImpos]

I'd love it if Rondo were this assertive against weak defenses every night.  If it's possible for him to score 20-25 points on a given night without killing himself, he should go for it. 

When so many of your teammates are old, sometimes it's a better thing in the big picture to be score-first instead of pass-first, even when you don't necessarily have to be.

Really...

I dont know if I should be excited because we look better than we have in the last 5 games or not because its only the Raptors.

Strange feeling.

New look with Pietrus at the 2. I think I like this

[fairweatherfan]

Looks like a nice start, but I can't watch it (no League Pass in the budget this year). 

Can someone break it down for me and or PM me something to remedy this?  TPs will be doled out, natch.

Exactly. He tries too hard to get everyone involved.

No ones going to bat an eyelash at this point if he puts his own offense first. He should.

[nickagneta]

Daniels comes in, gambles on doubling down and gives up a three. This is the type of thing Doc HATES!!!
