Re: NBA: TORONTO (10-9) at BOSTON (15-2) I'm to fucking embarrassed to say anything....this is some major bullshit. The refs are so fucking stupid, they are pissing me off right now. We get no call, and Boston gets everyone. I just want this game to end, I'm so angry.</p>
Re: NBA: TORONTO (10-9) at BOSTON (15-2) um...don't think this game is about the refs. Boston is dominating on both ends.</p>
Re: NBA: TORONTO (10-9) at BOSTON (15-2) Im really angry, I dont have RapsTV so I fortunatly dont get to witness this but everytime I see a boxscore it just frustrates me because I know we can play alot better then the score indicates.</p>
Re: NBA: TORONTO (10-9) at BOSTON (15-2) This is not the first time in this short season that Boston has totally dominated on D and shut a team down. We crushed the Knicks, and had a monster lead over Miami (although they were ablte to close the gap) etc. Our D when clicking is truly nasty.</p>

BOSTON (Ticker) -- It was business as usual for the BostonCeltics at TD Banknorth Garden. Kevin Garnett scored 23 points and Paul Pierce chipped in 18 tohelp the Celtics roll to a convincing 112-84 triumph over theundermanned Toronto Raptors on Friday night. Ray Allen poured in 13 points and James Posey collected 10 and10 rebounds off the bench for the Celtics, who have capturedfive straight games and 16 of 18 overall. Boston improved to 10-0 at home with seven of those wins comingby at least 20 points, highlighted by its eye-popping 45-pointthrashing of the New York Knicks on November 29. Behind Pierce, the Celtics wasted no time opening a comfortableadvantage after the first quarter. The 6-6 forward scored nineof his 11 first-half points in the period as Boston created a27-16 edge. The Celtics didn't seem to ease things up in the second whenEddie House's 3-pointer sparked an 11-2 surge that pushed thelead to 49-28 with 5:09 remaining. After just two quarters, Boston held a 62-40 advantage and shota blistering 52 percent (19-of-36) from the floor. The trio ofGarnett, Pierce and Allen combined for 35 points in the half. Friday's matchup was no where as exciting as the first meetingbetween the teams when Allen drilled the game-winning 3-pointerwith just seconds left in overtime to defeat the Raptors, 98-95,on November 4. A large part of Toronto's problems in this one can be attributedto the absence of Chris Bosh (groin) and former No. 1 overallpick Andrea Bargnani (knee) due to injuries. Bosh has missedfive straight games, while Bargnani sat out his third in a row. Anthony Parker scored 13 points and T.J. Ford chipped in 12 forToronto, which shot 42 percent (39-of-74) en route to its thirdloss in four games. The Raptors have lost nine of their last 10 trips to Boston.

Pretty much every team is better than the Knicks- but no team D'd the Knicks up the way we did. Just a little info. The Raps are better than Miami, although Miami is better than their record. But again, our margin over Miami for most of the game was bigger than it was all season for Miami. Just a little info. Yes the refs has something to do with it, and luck does as well. But take the loss for what it is - Boston is the better team and showing it tonight. Simple.</p> </p> </p>
