Bargnani is such a stud, and it won't surprise me if he shoots 55-60% from the field this season.

The Celtics are supposed to be the cream of the East. They beat us on a last second shot in OT. I am liking the Raps.

its a long season and u were at home. win/loss really doesnt mean much in the 2nd game of the season.

That team (Boston) is amazing, and I'm starting to think we're at that level.

I agree that wins and losses are not huge this early in the season, but a couple of years ago the Raps woulda gotten smoked by a team this good. It's promising to me that they were able to hang with them.

No offense, but the refs are the reason they were able to hang with the C's today. They woulda lost that game by 15 in Boston.

I didn't see the game so I can't really judge. But it seemed like both teams played piss poor up until the final 5 minutes of the 4th.

[T-God]

It was a terrible and boring game in the first half, but turned awesome in the 2nd.

Bosh vs. KG was sick. CB isn't there yet, but he's getting close...

[T_Mac]

The ending to this game was so sick. The last 10 minutes was really high quality bball and KG, Ray Allen, Bosh, and TJ Ford all showed they can play at a really high level. I can't wait til the next time we play Boston and Bosh is (hopefully) 100% from tipoff and Bargnani is a little older and a little wiser. Boston took this one from us but I like our competitiveness and talent going forward.

ps- FU Ray Allen and K [censored] G

Things observed from this game:

1. Sam Mitchell cannot coach and we will never win a title with him as head coach.

2. I know he made the shot, but TJ Ford should never, ever attempt a game tying/winning 3. And letting him do that is so f'n stupid.

3. Why is Juan Dixon playing crunch time? Another idiotic Smitch move.

4. Kapono should be shooting more. I'm not sure if he's good at creating his own shot but just let the kid shoot. Teams will then be Ka'pwnd.

5. On a positive, I like what I see from Delfino and if he's on the court in crunch time then I don't mind.

6. The team defense is improving greatly, unfortunately KG made some tough shots with Bosh playing very good defense on him.

7. Have I mentioned that Smitch is completely out to lunch?
