When Aldredge asked KG about the Celtics offense KG said words that every Raptors player, BC and coach should listen to
KG "We don't even talk offense, We did it with defense"
Truer words there are not. They made the Cavs look like Hawks tonight...I couldnt believe how ineffective they made LBJ. And the Cavs were built for LBJ and the playoffs. A lesson for those who think CB teaming up with LBJ does the trick. Reminds me of how the Pistons won as well (the last one). People, get your point guard first and then you can take it from there. Rondo is doing a number on Mo W. How good can that guy get if he developed a 3 pt. range. Oh my.
Whoa lets not throw the casket on Bron yet. This whole series is a ploy to make a dramatic comeback. You have to believe its the elbow, two no shows in five games is not bronesque.
I have a lot riding on Bron to win it, but i'm with Spike Lee in that I want him to go to NY and that probably becomes more likely if they don't win the next two games.
The Celtics are the biggest bunch of a-holes the league has seen in a while. The Celtics have wronged the Raptors far more than the Cavs did sitting LeBron James in a game that meant nothing to them. Sorry but I'm not sure how anyone can cheer the Celtics after all the B.S. they've pulled in games since Allen and KG showed up.

Come on now. Every time the Raptors play the Celtics KG or someone pulls some pin head stunt that totally disrespects the club. Those guys are punks. I hope they lose and I'll cheer against them until the end of time. The Cavs aren't responsible for the Raptors missing the playoffs, the Raptors are. They should have never placed themselves in the position where they rely on other teams winning/losing games to get in. At the All-star break they were sitting pretty in 5th seed.

I agree with you on both counts.
Look at my initial post on this thread. I never said the Lebron sitting was responsible for the Raptors missing the playoffs.
I said I hate him for playing against the Raptors and sitting vs the Bulls.
I can see where one would draw the conclusion that I was saying that that was the cause of the Raptors not making the playoffs.
That is not the case. I believe the reason that Raptors missed the playoffs is because of Bosh's inability to again play 82 games and in fact only play 70. In addition when he did return after the first injury he played while not being 100% as a result of that injury.
Yes anyone could have gotten his face in the way of Jamison's elbow like Bosh did. But no one else did.
Bosh once again broke down and that is why the Raptors missed the playoffs. Of course the Raptors don't even come close without Bosh true enough.
But the Raptors didn't pay Bosh to play in only 70 games whatever the reason.
P.S. I also put part of the blame on Turk and to a lessor extent Calderon because he was injured. Everyone else on the roster either played up to or above my expectations. However, as I stated a number of times. Bosh is the leader and as such he at least for me has to get most of the blame for the Raptors failure to make the playoffs.
I also think that for the most part Triano did a decent job given the nine new players and that it was his first full year as head coach.

Why do you care? If the fact that it could affect the playoff hopes of two teams had no bearing on your mind then why care? Do you hate him for sitting out the Pacers, Magic, and Celtics games as well? Do you understand why they would sit him for the last four meaningless games of the season?
One more thing. The elbow was unintentional so we can't really knock the Cavs for it. Jamison wasn't exactly a hit man sent to knock Bosh out. By the way, both years the Raptors went to the playoffs with Bosh he played no more than 70 regular season games, just saying.
The Celtics are the biggest bunch of a-holes the league has seen in a while. The Celtics have wronged the Raptors far more than the Cavs did sitting LeBron James in a game that meant nothing to them.

I totally agree I hate the Celtics more so then Cleveland, to be honest I actually enjoy Cleveland to watch also since AP and Moon are there now... It was our own fault we didn't make the playoffs, since we lost to golden state and to chi town we set our own fate, we effed it up. not coz Lebron sat?!? are you stupid? we shouldn't be blaming our non playoff season on anyone but ourselves...LBJ is just a scapegoat nothing more.. GO CLEVELAND I HOPE SOMEONE KICKS GARNETT IN THE NUTTZ!
