Classic trap game.

Raptors are on 2nd night of B2B (they play Pistons in Toronto tonight). Barnes, Quickley, Olynyk, Bruce Brown, and Ja'Kobe Walter are all OUT. Raptors have lost 8 straight vs. the Celtics. Tatum has won 11 of last 12 vs. the Raptors.

Please play hard and smart regardless.

Raptors fall to the Pistons in a close game. They now have to travel 9,392 miles to Boston by foot and hopefully make the tipoff at 8:00 PM tomorrow.

- Celtics will be handing out Tim Hortons in the first quarter to lucky fans. That's how easy this game is going to be...

- Momentum builds for PP to become the starting PG next season...

- Aztec god Miquiztlitecuhtli will be attending the game and sacrificing Raptor fans at halftime...

We're not the Cavs, but I think we can beat these Raptors if we put some effort in it.

Total guess: Holiday will rest, Springer will be available.

Boston has enough depth that whenever anyone is not 100% they should rest. That and we aint catchin them Cavs anyways.

For elementary school (Grades 1-4) during the winters,
my brother and I would walk to school through (3 - 5 foot) snow drifts
on the unplowed back roads...

Cavs have beat the Lakers, the Magic and the Warriors for 3 total wins against teams with winning records. They caught Orlando while Banchero was out as well. They also beat the Knicks who are .500 14-0 is impressive regardless but it’s been a soft schedule for Cleveland.

To be fair the Celtics have yet to beat a team with a winning record. I guess it’s difficult to get quality wins when most of the East sucks.

There are many ways in which it makes great sense for Springer to model himself on Holiday.

But perhaps he's taking things a little bit too far?

Perfect game for Jrue not to play. 5 games off before the Cavs game. It's like the league knew that the Cavs would be on a long win streak and Toronto would be the perfect game for Jrue to have a nice 5 game vacation. :D
