We're playing the Raptors again? The Celtics continue their streak of close-but-not-quite blown games against the Toronto Raptors. Yesterday, Toronto won a game against an equally horrendous team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. This victory more than satisfies their win quota for January, 2011, and puts them in an uncomfortable situation. Lets return then to their losing ways.

Short and sweet: No excuses. Beat these bastards.

Apparently I'm the only one in this gamethread.

Hi!

Shaq sees no other big men on the floor, and he's busting his ass. This is good.

[PeaceSignMoose]

I love when Big Baby stands in to try to take a charge. Sometimes he falls so slowly you can almost hear someone yelling "TIMBERRRRRRRRRRRR" in the background.

[Sprowl]

Shaq is quick down the floor. He's got a lot more energy now that he doesn't have to play 40 minutes a game.

[PeaceSignMoose]

For the 5 minutes that Harangody is on the floor, I hate life.

EDIT: Ok. That was an awesome shot. I still hate him.

Harangody.

Luc sez: learn to love life, even if it takes two fakes and a reverse layup.

[Statman]

Mark my words. We'll play to the level of competition so expect this to be a close game.

[Ahriman]

Luke, get your head in the game. Yikes.

[NavaHo]

Luke Harangody with the whitest 8 points that will be scored this year.

[scottyno]

you know you suck when luke harrangody is owning you

[mikeot]

Hell yes, rest the starters, play the bench the whole damn game ....

Can we harness this power somehow?

[Ahriman]

Really liking what I've seen out of Von Wafer these past couple of weeks. He's buying in defensively.

[ifmanis5]

Raptors color guy is cracking me up.

[stp130]

Good TO. Second team needs a blow.

[Cerebus the Batboy]

Someone needs to dedicate himself to shoot nothing but lefty for the rest of the game.

Crow tastes pretty good if you add a bit dash of salt.

[Ed Hillel]

Holy shit, the Raptors have 36 points with 3 minutes left in the 3rd?

oh, it's the second.

Need a ride to the opthamologist? I'll drive.

[AimingForYoko]

Why haven't they played this well against this shitty, shitty team before.

Just keep it up in the 2nd half is all I ask.

Shaq!

Rondo to Shaq.

[Sprowl]

The Raptors are playing shell-shocked.

[Ed Hillel]

Hahahahahahahahahahahah

[AimingForYoko]

[PeaceSignMoose]

I'm surprised they didnt tee Shaq up for a flagrant on that one. Maybe that only happens against the Heat.

[JakeRae]

That foul by Shaq looked pretty flagrant to me.

[Ed Hillel]

I will give the Raptors credit for having a pretty cool logo.

Is Larry Bird the best #22 ever in sports?

[Cerebus the Batboy]

Witness the power of the Harangody.

[Ed Hillel]

That foul by Shaq looked pretty flagrant to me.

Eh, the contact was on the hip. It looked way worse because Shaq is a complete monster.

[NavaHo]

My list:

1. Bird
3. Kareem
Q. Ewing

[PeaceSignMoose]

I like the way this is going.

[Ed Hillel]

This has probably been asked and answered before, but has a team ever had a starting 5 that later consisted of 5 HOFers? One of the Celtics team had to, right? I think we're watching one right now, at least when KG is healthy.

UHHH, 33?

[Ed Hillel]

It was a play off of me confusing the 2nd and 3rd quarters...

[BoredViewer]

Griffin would look good at the 4, in a couple of years.

I would think a few of those Celtics teams from the 60's must have.

[stp130]

Rondo and Pierce need to see 0 minutes the rest of this half.

S Jones KC Jones, Cousy , Russell,Sharman, Havlicek. and/or Heinsohn from the 50s-60s maybe? At some point possibly five of them overlapped.

[mikeford]

There were 6 HOFs on the 1964 Celtics but BasketballReference doesn't tell me who started.

[AimingForYoko]

Ok come on. End this game.

[ifmanis5]

That should be enough, right?

Wesley Matthews 29pts at halftime, btw.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Certainly blows that the starters are still going to have to close this game.

[PeaceSignMoose]

God damn you, doublepost.

Luke should have saved some of his magic for tomorrow.

[stp130]

OK, game is Nate-proof now. Sit Rondo.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Luke is a man possessed.

[Jed Zeppelin]

They seriously have another game tomorrow night? Do they ever not play back to backs anymore?

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Someone needs to talk to Harangody about that haircut of his.
