If the Raptors lose to our NBDL lineup they're truly pathetic.

I will be missing this game tonight, but I couldn't have picked a better one to miss. Our three best players are out and we're playing one of the most consistently irrelevant franchises in the league.

Ray Allen, Rasheed Wallace, and Kendrick Perkins are NBDL players?

We're also missing Calderon andTurkoglu so its not like you guys are major underdogs..

Well that's about our C team there.

No Pierce, Rondo, or Garnett.

Time to see why Ray Allen is a clear step below those three.

giddens at PG ? WTF, put eddie house there or hudson but giddens ???

The Celtics are playing without:
PG Rondo
SF Pierce
SF Daniels
PF Garnett
PF Davis

that alone is a pretty good starting line-up. Hardly comparable to Turkogly & Calderon.

Giddens is a play who has played 68 minutes in his whole career, and he's starting.

With out Hedo and Calderon.....the Raps quickly got 10 times more hard nosed....which aint saying much.....but Jack is a great PG...I prefer him over calderon

Vegas has us as 3.5 point favorites and we're missing our three best players. To those Toronto fans wondering if their team is pathetic... the answer is a resounding "Yes".

oh how I hate the Toronto Raptors. Im suprised Bosh is still able to play after Pierce neutered him the last time we played em.

Raptors missing two starting players vs. Celtics missing three starting players

So, its more about the battle of the benches. So, we will see how good a supposedly championship bench is...

Way to judge a team's "patheticness..." OK, as a Raps fan I like the Celtics but this is disrespectful and not very logical to say the least.

I predict a close game and some of your regular bench players to go off btw, but this has nothing to do with our team being bad. Whomever is on the court for the C's, they'll want to bounce back from their recent losses and won't go down without a fight.

The Raptors are missing Calderon -who's been replaced well enough by Jack, and Hedo. The C's are missing Pierce, Rondo and KG - three all-star calibre players- and that is something bigger, way bigger actually.
