Prediction

http://raptorsforum.com/f/images/icons/TOR%20Small.png - 95
http://www.raptorsforum.com/f/images/icons/celtics.gif - 111

Forgive me if I'm not confident for tomorrow night's game. :(

Raps Fan has the Raptors Republic pre-game up now: Click here

A win in this game will fill the bandwagon right back up to FULL.

Of course a blowout to the Celts and then Suns will have people jumping over bridges.

So in other words emergency rooms are on high alert this weekend. ;)

T-minus 25 minutes till tip-off. :)

DeMar with the strong take to the rim.

Hedo with the 3 pointer.

Paul Pierce can go all day on Hedo. I can't believe Hedo bit on Pierce's pump fake.

Bosh hits 2 from the charity stripe.

Terrible start guarding the paint, but Bosh is starting off hot on the offensive end.

DeMar with the steal and then goes coast to coast.

Celts are already shooting 90%. I'm already terrified of this outcome.

Nice take by Wright.

Andrea is getting killed in the paint tonight. He's so passive I just wanted to scream. :mad:

Amir playing some great defence and getting those offensive boards.

I thought Pops was picked up for this energy. I've seen more energy exuded at a seniors lawnbowling match. Come'on Pops. :(

Someone pinch me because I'm amazed that we're tied with the Celtics right now.

Are we seriously winning? LOL

I'm wondering if I can have my fantasy draft pick because Andrea is back to the Bargnani of old. Invisible and irritating to watch right now.

Get a damn rebound guys. :(

I'm currently throwing darts at my Bargnani poster.
