Raptors Rapid Recap - Boston 116 - Toronto 103

-Not only was the D absent in this one, but so was the P; P as in Pride. 

-Toronto allowed Boston to run all over them (litteraly as Paul Pierce dunked on and through Chris Bosh) en route to a 116 to 103 win.

-The Raptors' hot shooting kept them in this one early, in fact they lead by a point at halftime.  However the third quarter was the team's undoing again and Boston cruised to the W the rest of the way.

-The Celtics had 6 players in double figures with Ray Allen leading the C's, dropping in 20.  All 5 starters hit double digits on O however and Rajon Rondo was especially lethal dishing out 11 assists.

-For Toronto, Hedo Turkoglu and Chris Bosh did their best, both dropping in 20.  But they got little help offensively from anyone but Jarrett Jack and Rasho Nesterovic.

-If you missed this one, you'll probably see the highlight (or lowlight) of Bosh getting viciously crammed on by Pierce and that really was the second-half in a nutshell.  When Boston turned up the aggressiveness Toronto folded faster than a poker player holding a 7 and 3 off-suit and that was all she wrote.  We'll nevertheless recap this sordid affair in the morning...

The difference between Toronto and Boston...

They both played the same all offence, no defence game in the first half — but when it came down to it, the Celtics were able to turn up the D while the Raptors did their typical fold in the 3rd quarter.

Fans can get up in arms over the Pierce dunk, but you’ll probably end up being more upset than anyone associated with the Raptors (other than the coaching staff).

The Kneeing incident

Paul Pierce is one of the dirtiest SOB’s in the game today and I came to that conclusion long before I witnessed him “kneeing” bosh below the belt last night!!!!

After the dunk instead of checking if Bosh is ok after the “fall” he stares him down and stands taunting overlooking him while CB suffer on the floor… what a shameless MOFO PP!!!!

if the NBA does not suspend him for that shameless display… oh wait… it wont happening cuz the Upper NBA admins are shameless F@#CKs themselves!!!!!!
