    look, ive said it a few times on here...i'm from boston and love the celtics...going to the garden friday...just dont bet on the celtics in any game man, not right now...they are totally just not a safe play, i love them but they are not clicking and either need more time to figure it out or they're just done...if you like the celts, go small i guess, but its either raptors or (i would say) no play...against good teams, just fade the hell out of them because they are still getting a lot of that name brand love from the books (smaller lines) but not covering worth shit

    If Bargnani is out the Celtics will win. If he's out and they don't win I'll stop posting on this site for a month.

    look fellas im not saying they cant beat the raptors...they SHOULD and even MIGHT pull off the win...but im just saying in general right now, the celtics are awful...they have lost 5 straight after the thunder game last night which is the longest streak in the new big 3 era...i bleed green but im just warning anyone here they just dont have it right now because i like yall and dont want you to throw your hard earned money

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slu...ics_nba_011712

    this article is really eye opening about their situation right now, and actually pretty scary from a boston fans perspective...they just dont have that fire, passion, and energy that is celtic ball...they cant hit shots, cant defend when it matters most...its like they won their championship now they are just playing out their contracts, which i hate to say and hope it isnt true but thats what it looks like...

    "Garnett and Allen come off the Celtics’ cap this summer, but Pierce is the most perplexing member of the Big Three. He has two years and $32 million left on his contract through the 2013-14 season, and moving him for a shorter deal could make the Celtics a huge player in free agency the next two years."

    that part alone is enough to make my stomach turn...sorry for the lengthy post i know im just venting here but i love the celts and it sucks to watch because love them or hate them, when they are "on" they are one of the most exciting teams in the nba

    The Celtics own the Raptors, if they don't win this game they may as well give up on the season and the Celtics are too proud to do that.

    sure, they lost 5 in a row... but they were to all good to great teams of this season that will be some of top choices to win the east and west and even finals. Bulls, OKC... up and coming Indiana team (younger) who i knew would be pretty good this year... oh, and that... um Dallas team, playing at their best in a win streak...THE CHAMPS.

    i will take Boston over Toronto 10/10 times toronto has also lost 5 in a row, but to the likes of sacramento and the only team to lose to washington

    time for Boston to win 1, and i hate Boston

    The Celtics are turning into the team before Garnet. This may be their fade season.

    Where did you get BOS-11 from? I'm not seeing any posted lines for neither that game, DAL/LAC or GSW/NJN. I don't think the Celtics will be a double digit favorite against Toronto, as bad as they've been playing. -10 will probably be the number, though.

    It is hard to tell without the line. If it is a big spread, i can see the raptors covering. But I think Boston wins out.

    It looks like Bargnani is out so I will keep my promise if the Celtics lose.

    As for there being no such thing as a lock, if a pro team played a high school team, would that not be a lock?

    Hypothetically, all the good players could have heart attacks in the first quarter or there could be a plane crash and so many other factors. But, practically speaking, games happen all the time where the weaker team has virtually no chance.

    That may not apply in baseball however at the pro level but again, a pro team taking on a high school would be a lock. A lock can happen even in baseball.

    There are no locks in professional sports.

    The Raptors could go on a 4q heater and hit five 3pointers in a row. Sure this is unlikely but there's a reason these guys make millions.

    70% of the public is on Boston -9.5, and the 9.5 line holds all day??? Something is fishy, Raptors may win SU
