Celtics vs. Raptors 11/27/09

Wow, I've never heard so many pathetic bitter fans in all my years of watching basketball. Ridiculous.

So your boy got kneed a little. Jeez, this stuff happens in every game. Have you just started watching pro ball? Plus what's with the Wade comparison? PP is 2 inches taller than Wade and much, much less athletic. It was a hell of a ballsy dunk and he posed for a second afterward. Taunting? Disrespect? Retaliation? Throwing beer at him? Where do you get this junk from? Can you imagine Celtics fans getting so pissy after every time Perk gets dunked on? Unbelievable and so, so sad.

A lot of these dudes have it in for the Celts. You know dudes are still over the Gerald Green dunk 3 years ago. Add the fact that we've taken their oh-so-beloved-and-eternally-cherished division title away from their franchise 2 years in a row compounds their frustrations. Now with the publicized humiliation of their girl broadcast on national television, I'm almost positive that the suicide rate in the center of the Universe (aka Toronto) spiked up a little bit on Friday night.

Just don't paint all of us Canadians with the same brush. I live on the other side of the country in Vancouver and even though I subscribe to Raptors Tv so I can get more games, I'm not a Raptors fan. They have played far under expectations and lack toughness. The only guy that shows any anger is their coach.

One thing Id like to say off topic. I read where Rasheed Wallace was fined $30,000 for speaking out against the officiating. I have to say that in my opinion the officials have been as poor as I've ever seen. I don't know what it is this year but they make more phantom calls than ever. And I don't have a homer bias since I don't have a favorite team.

I'm just calling it the way I see it. And Rasheed is right.

Raptors fans always expect too much out of the Raptors - it's the same old story with them. I don't think many in the league expected much out of them though. So I don't think its fair to say they played under expectations.. The toughness issue needs to be remedied with some talent changes but the Raptors like euro style ballers - not guys like Kendrick Perkins and Paul Pierce..

If the NBA had the same ruleset as FIBA - the Raptors would be good....oh well.
