Funny coincidence... Both the Celtics last game and the Raptors last game ended with the score 145-113. Celtics won at home vs. the Rockets. Raptors lost on the road vs. the Jazz.

Celtics have won 7 straight, 9 of last 10 vs. the Raptors. The last time Cs lost in Toronto in regulation, Yabu and Semi played for us and Jeremy Lin was a Raptor.

I expect a high scoring game with a double digit win by us.

And so glad we don't have an early start time.

Poeltl, Koloko, and OPJ are OUT for the Raptors.

Another victory imminent.

Will be tough to slow down the next face of the nba, but we will see.

Lol. Their coach is really making a name for himself with those outrageous takes lol.

[Fierce1]

As long as JT plays, Cs always have a chance to win.

I think we're due for a good game from White.

I think we're due for a good game from White.

?? He was good last game. 13/3/5 on 9 shots in 25 mins where the two primaries dominated in a blowout is a good game. December production is more the exception than rule from a 4th option.

Nearing halfway point of the season, the Celtics bench are outscoring opponents by 3.5 per 100 possessions, 2nd best mark in the league behind OKC. Cs have best net rating (+8.1) among starters, very slightly ahead of the Nuggets. Hauser and Pritchard are 2nd and 3rd behind Isaiah Joe in net rating among bench players (min 30 GP). Horford has 8.8 net rating when he comes off the bench.

In the 2,300 possessions Celtics only used their top 8 guys (62.8% of all possessions), they're outscoring opponents by 13.2 points per 100 possessions.

No. He’s washed, Holiday is washed, Tatum has regressed, Jaylen cant shoot anymore*, Al is too old, KP too fragile, Joe can’t coach.
