MY NOTE:  Merry Christmas, and wasn't this a great Xmas gift for Celtic fans?  My favorites are in bold, which are yours?



Lowry triple double flirt today? I feel like he could light up Kemba easy, but boards might be hard to come across

Lowry for 50 on Christmas?

Heat fan here, **** THE CELTICS

But not Tacko Fall How do you hate that guy?

**** the Celtics! Lets show the world that the Champs are gunnin' for a repeat!

Lets get this Christmas W boys

Damn Hayward's playing?

Damn wtf I thought he was still injured welp lets just hope he ruins their flow

LOOOL WAIT ENES KANTER WAS ALLOWED TO COME TO CANADA?   EASY W

This is my first time hearing FVV voice lol

You never heard his post game interviews? :O

I'm a heat fan lol beat the Celtics for us pls

We missed an opportunity here. We coulda worn the red jerseys to Boston’s green jerseys. On Christmas.

would’ve been a nightmare for the colourblind though

Celtics jersey is so ugly I'm sorry

Well, we know the team will fight. So it should be entertaining if nothing else. Boston is a tough opponent. But at least they are pretty thin up front, where most of our injuries are, and maybe our abundance of wing defenders can keep us in this one.

Nice start. Suck it Tatum

Ibaka coming up big already

SERGE TAKEOVER

10-0 let this be a blowout

Celtics had too much Nogg

Raptors wants to give us a win for Christmas

Yooo this is going to be a game! Hayward looks rusty

I despise the Celtics so much.

A start like this, with this kind of ball movement and passing... that’s the kind of Christmas you want.

Lowry ain't playing with y'all today. He is on a revenge tour. He ain't washed up.

Clearly Freds hairline > Jaysons hairline

Tatum can enjoy an alcoholic beverage after the game since it's in Canada

FVV literally put the clamps on Jaylen Brown.  (MY NOTE:  Wait for it...)

It's gonna be a silent night because Boston is going to get delivered some coal

Dusty Old Champs From 100 Years Ago vs. Defending Champs

Christmas Day game on our court. I demand refs give us a friendly whistle.

Expecting a win here with ferocious defence!

Celtics have three guys basically averaging 20+ points per game. Gonna be tough without Siakam.

WE lose. Boston is just better.

Enes and Theis gonna be feastin' this afternoon. Gonna be a Turkish/German destructive force.

Anyone else have a really bad feeling about this one? I’m just hoping we don’t get embarrassed

Always loved the American national anthem.

I love OG but damn Jaylen is having an all star year

Celtics need Steven Adams  (MY NOTE:  But at what price, that can make the $ work?  Our core wings are off-limits)

Celtics legit have 4 guys that need to be guarded on offense b/c they can score off ball or ISO.

i love how in these big nationally televised games, kyle just flat out balls. he set the tone in game 6 last finals and was a beast in game 7 vs. the bucks. now he's off to a fast start for all to see.

Idk if it’s only the ESPN stream or the early start to but the crowd doesn’t sound “electrifying”

I just realized, Raptors had a 10-0 lead, and we are the only team left who has never loss after a 10 point lead.....

Shocked. That was an offensive foul call in the Raps favor?

Not for nothing but Hayward would be a good player for us.

What did we do to deserve a home Xmas game showcasing Ibaka inability to catch a **** ball.

that's not an offensive foul if kemba is a weak twerp.

DeTatum is incredible

Why does tatum look like he should of played in the 70s 80s

Not gonna lie I find Jayson Tatum attractive  (MY NOTE:  This is a first for a "Comments" thread.  Better than saying he has a "punchable face" I suppose)

Kemba cant play against length.

I hope kanter gets a nice hand when he subs in

Honestly other than the fact it’s Christmas, this is a huge game

It would be if both teams had full squads, as it is it's two teams struggling against each other despite injuries to key guys.

Kemba is cute but GO RAPTORS

I love the color green, it's one of my favs. But that shade of green just annoys the F outta me.

I resent this but Free Enes.

Enes 'terrorist' kanter

These Celtics jerseys are hideous.

Getting killed for everyone to see...this was my worst nightmare. I know, it's just the first quarter but we literally had a 10 point lead 15 minutes ago

Williams sounded like a dog after you accidentally stand on its tail when Boucher kneed him

24-6 run for Boston since our hot start. Ffs

Every time Kanter scores, yell ...‘**** Trudeau!’

Without Siakam and Gasol even Powell this team had little chance of winning this game.

remember when it was 10-0, good times

We look like a G league team right now compared to Boston

Boston can score from 3, in the post, driving into the lane, etc... If this group of Raptors 3 point shots aren't falling (Lowry and Vanvleet), scoring is painful.

Kemba is our father

Trudeau screwed us letting Kanter in...

Kanter is eating us up

Bostons always been such a dirty team. Refs even dirtier.

Why arent the refs going to the monitor for a flagrant? Lord knows if Kyle gave that foul...he might get tossed.

Kyle with a great acting job there

If that was a Celtic they def review that

Kemba is ice cold

Way too easy for Boston

We can't lose to friggen Tice.... Kanter down low is one thing, but Theis is a different story. I'm not a hater, but come on now lol. Getting crushed on the defensive glass by trash cans and missing layups at the other end.

They finally realized the Celts have zero rim protection

You know how we could of fix all those rebounding? Drafting Tacko Fall over Dewan

Kemba looks way too cool out there . Not good

Boucher gotta get stronger. Brown eating him up on the block is embarrassing

Wow 2 soft offensive fouls both against Kemba

55-47 is fine...right where we want them!

Kanter is such a bad matchup with no Gasol.

Celtics aren't even playing well, Raptors playing horrible

Guys, we’re just waiting to go down by 31, in order to achieve the greatest comeback in Franchise history.

Man. Pascal would have sh** on Theis & Kanter. Damn.

Brown looks like a monk

So, hands up all of you that wanted a Raptors Christmas game.

If the NBA doesn't want Toronto winning prime games, why did they let us in the league? #forget we're Champions

The press isn’t going work on the Celtics. They’re playoff tested and well coached.

Ibaka is an idiot

Our bigs getting destroyed

Kanter owning serge Ibaka It's like having a pile of **** in your Christmas stocking
Time to hit the bottle

NN and his coaching staff are bunch of idiots... McCaw does nothing yet getting all those minutes

We still have retards like you on this forum? Yeah Nurse is an idiot lets fire him he.s not as good as you as a coach

Ur dad and ur whole entire family members are retards.

That's the Christmas spirit!

Kanter and Theis combining for 19 points in the 1st half is the main problem....most of those points were just easy putback layups

Love Kanter's game. Just an old school, traditional big that knows his role, never seems to try to do too much, is a load in the rebounding game, catches the ball well in traffic (strong, sure hands) and is money around the basket with layups and work off the glass. Good player.

I'm feeling a vintage Lowry performance to give us the W

Celtics got some snipers

Celtics get easy shots, we always struggle to get easy shots

Doesn't help that Raps are missing 3 key players, and the Celtics are only missing Smart

Crowd is garbage

Kemba doesn’t miss against us ever . So it makes sense we leave him wide open

How you gonna leave Kemba that open.

Lmao where is the defense????????????????????????????? Kemba literally waltzed up to the 3pt line without a raptor within 20 feet of him and shot a wide open practice 3

Boston just dribbling around us like these guys don't even care.

Players aren't doing great but no excuse for crowd being so dead on Xmas day

Kemba 5 seconds to stand and shoot Walker

Considering the injuries..I say the team matches up well to the boys in green.

This team is playing gutless and McCaw is useless. Is he an assistant coaches son?

Hard to miss when there is no defender within 20 feet of you on every attempt. Boston is just shooting set practice 3s out there.

Kemba doing what he wants to Fred right now

How the **** does someone as big as Boucher get bullied by Tatum?

Gotta give it to the Celtics. They're not as bad missing 1 of their key players as the Raps are missing 3 main pieces including a superstar.

And now Enes gonna thug it out.

Too many stupid players on this team, Ibaka is infectious

These are one of the games where I wish we had Tony Brothers or Marc Davis as the ref.
We could use their 4th quarter specialty to cover the spread

Letting in Kanter without a passport backfiring

Just need to find a way to eject Kemba

I feel like they're making a bigger deal out of participating in Christmas games than it really is.

We can't play against these guys... Boston is a better team right now.

Watch the American media after this game make zero mention of our 3 injuries and just say that the Celtics are on another level

We begged for a Christmas game but then the team goes MIA on the day of. Lmao

OG still better then Brown and Tatum

Lol... Tatum is soooooo much better.

Wow. Way too easy for Tatum to the bucket.

Missing Norm/Marc/Pascal is a lot of offense and defense to be missing. Especially against a good team like Boston.

They're a better team to start with, before all the injuries. They're fathering us and are going to end the streak in style, with basketball world watching on Christmas Day.

The worst part is we have to go back for round 2 Saturday

We look like a G league team out rhere

Boston isn't giving up this lead. Done with this nonsense.

Brad Stevens looks like he should do my taxes

Boston isn’t that good either. The only team that’s impressed me is Milwaukee in the east. But we need to see what they do in the post season

Tip your cap to a superior opponent. Just try not to get blown out. Keep it is respectabl

Brown cannot miss.

Why is a scrub/Bust like Jaylen Brown going off lol

Jaylen Brown is far from a scrub..

Jaylen Brown looking like he's worth the max

It’s okay, Boston won’t do **** against the Bucks

Could be. But they're 1-0 vs the Bucks this season.

I guess I'll have to settle for the Bucks beating the Sixers to a pulp.

Raps aren’t sniffing another Christmas game in a very long time, if ever unless we land Giannis

We're making Jaylen look like Kobe

Incoming Jaylen Brown trades.

Thank you McCaw for handing Jalen Brown some National TV Christmas recognition.

Message to Nick: Boston can beat the press.

A Brad Stevens team is not going be embarrassed on National TV by a high school defense.

Full court press won't work with kemba on the court.

When did brown turn into butler?  (MY NOTE:  since they've been working out every summer)

That could be his career arc. Here's 4th yr 25 year old Butler vs 4th Year 23 year old Brown. They're even.

Geez Jaylen Brown going full Ish Smith on us not missing a shot so far

Boston plays like a vet team. Amazing that Kyrie was able to screw that all up. Takes a special kind of head case to destabilize that.

We are essentially playing our 3rd stringers up against their best lol

But the Celtics are missing a guy who takes charges.

Well - we won the 'ship with Klay + KD out for the Warriors. Guess we can make the same excuse? Hmmm ...

Gasol wouldn’t have made a difference this game and would have been blown by their guards. Siakim would have helped on O but Siakim’s D had been trash this year. We don’t beat Boston even without our injuries.

McCaw showing promise on both ends of the floor. How many people could butcher a layup that badly and still foul on the other end ?

I'd rather we sub in some wheelchair basketball players than play McCaw

Waive McCaw please

Deport McCaw

Patrick McCaw, I hate u more than I hate the socks I got for a Christmas present

Good socks are an amazing gift

They had holes in them.....

That's where your feet go silly

Nurse outcoached today...

Pretty staggering to see so few posters mention the abscences of Pascal, Gasol, and Norm being significant. We won’t win these games without those guys.

Given the way we've played against good teams this season, though, there's also a good chance we don't beat Boston with them.

There’s a much better chance we beat them with them then without them.

Boston beat us early on with both teams at full strength. They are just a better team.

Raptors-Celtics game, ESPN announcers find a way start talking about LeBron

The short handed Raptors just don’t have the offensive punch to beat this Celtics defense.

Raps just ain't got the personnel to match the Celtics.

The Celtics wings are killing us.

Wanamaker going 100 feet for a layup. All I need to know.

Back to the Craptors.

Has a Boston player ever dribbled the ball for the whole possession?

No but FVV did.

Ref looks like a milk dud

Why are we playing Lowry all these minutes with the game totally out of reach???

Because he's our goat and he has to work on Xmas day so he is gonna get espn face time minutes and he likes to

Stanley Johnson is the worst player in the league.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL STANLEY JOHNSON BRUH THIS BUM MADE ME APPRECIATE MCCAW FOR A SECOND

Boston played really well, the ball movement was really good and they were stepping up and making shots.

Ok of course jaylen brown goes 9/10

I mean if they played decent defense on him...

Well at least we scored on our own net

So we're basically subbing in for the Knicks on Christmas this year?

Shaqtin is coming for us soon

Just realized we have to play the Celtics again in a couple days...lmao and it's in Boston where the Raptors never win even when they had Kawhi

I hate making excuses but if we were to beat a near fully healthy Celtics team(w/o Smart but that's only worth so much) without 2 starters and their 6th man would've been embarrassing for Boston.

Also the Celtics are really good.

Have we given up? I just made a coffee to try and stay awake for this

Dump that coffee down the drain lol it ain't worth it

Even if we were winning I would still say this. Tatum NEEDS to shave.

This loss on Nurse. Completely outplayed by Stevens.

SJ scored more in 3 minutes than Mccaw did in 32 lmao

Celtics just letting them walk right in

I would sign Jeff Green if I were Masai, and cut McCaw.

Joakim Noah is better than Green

Hayward should've stayed in Utah that team would've been sick

Celtics guy shoots instead of running out the clock A-hole.

I wish kyrie’s toxic a** was still on that team

Don't expect another Christmas game for a loooong time. After first 2 minutes, Boston kicked Raptors butt.

Sooo anyone optimistic for Saturday’s game against Celtics lol

Boston will be on a back to back when we play them next. They are in Cleveland the night before

**** every Boston sports team. **** them all.

Don’t be a sore loser. Call out the team for not stepping up.

Don't tell me how to be a fan lol, I'm not a sore loser I just hate Boston sports teams. **** off

Can’t blame the team. They just lost to better team that is healthy and have all their guys.

Our Atlanic Division home win streak crashed and burned hard.

I blame the refs somehow

They should have carried us this game, they owe us

Please never give us a Christmas Day game again. Now I have to get double drunk tonight.

I don't like losing to Boston

Boston tortures Toronto sports

Celtics with mentally-****Ed Kyrie would have dropped this game. Kemba cured a lot of their locker room issues. Props to the Celtics, even though I hate their fans

Kyrie leaving was a nice early Christmas gift for them.

I’d love to play Boston in the playoffs and have fully healthy rosters because I just don’t see us losing to them in a 7 game series (home court or not)

Some of y'all are really shocked by losing to the Celts while missing 3 starters.

They are also missing Smart and Hayward who had been playing great.

They had Hayward today, and Marcus in no way offsets Pascal, Marc, and Norm.

I think smart is actually much better then most think. His defence is unbelievable. That being said he doesn’t offset all 3 but would offset both gasol and Powell Imo. Still happy we got a Christmas Day game!

Another embarrassing lost to a guaranteed playoff team.

Should’ve played the knicks



bob



.

Doesn't help that Raps are missing 3 key players, and the Celtics are only missing Smart  wish I could extend some sympathy but I'm all out of it.
When TOR matches our time off due to injuries so far, then welcome to the club.  Otherwise, bite the bullet and enjoy the glass of shut the hell up!

Watch the American media after this game make zero mention of our 3 injuries and just say that the Celtics are on another level  Sucks like a bitch when the press ignores you even though you have a great team?  Try years and years and years and years of it

We look like a G league team out there Reality setting in.  Please consult LAL when LeBron is out for any length of time at all

I guess I'll have to settle for the Bucks beating the Sixers to a pulp.  How did that work out for you?!!

I hate making excuses but if we were to beat a near fully healthy Celtics team(w/o Smart but that's only worth so much) without 2 starters and their 6th man would've been embarrassing for Boston.Yeah, I'm beginning to think MS is worth 2 of theirs.  They clarify that below.  Good for them

Celtics with mentally-****Ed Kyrie would have dropped this game. Kemba cured a lot of their locker room issues. Props to the Celtics, even though I hate their fans  You are indeed correct my friend!

I think smart is actually much better then most think. His defence is unbelievable. That being said he doesn’t offset all 3 but would offset both gasol and Powell Imo. Still happy we got a Christmas Day game!  Tah Dah!!  Winner winner, chicken dinner!!

Thanks Bob.  These are always very entertaining!

db

We still have retards like you on this forum? Yeah Nurse is an idiot lets fire him he.s not as good as you as a coach

Raptors-Celtics game, ESPN announcers find a way start talking about LeBron

So, hands up all of you that wanted a Raptors Christmas game.

They're a better team to start with, before all the injuries. They're fathering us and are going to end the streak in style, with basketball world watching on Christmas Day.

Please never give us a Christmas Day game again. Now I have to get double drunk tonight.

Celtics with mentally-****Ed Kyrie would have dropped this game. Kemba cured a lot of their locker room issues. Props to the Celtics, even though I hate their fans

Kyrie leaving was a nice early Christmas gift for them.

Don't tell me how to be a fan lol, I'm not a sore loser I just hate Boston sports teams. **** off
