Raptors @ Celtics: Friend Turned Foe and the Push for 2-0

The Toronto Raptors got the job done on Wednesday night in their season opener, but the offence looked far from a finished product.

Tonight, we get a second glimpse of the new-look Raptors as Dwane Casey aims to tie Sam Mitchell for the most coaching wins in franchise history.

Standing in his way will be Amir Johnson, a much-beloved former Raptor who now calls Boston home as a member of the Celtics.

It was all love before tip off, but both Amir and DeMar DeRozan have already said the trash talk will flow as the old friends do battle for the first time. That should certainly make for some excellent entertainment.

With the showdown looming, here is some light reading to tide you over until game time:
