- The Atlantic Division leading Raptors are now playing .500 ball (22-22).
- Meanwhile the Celtics have lost 10 in a row for the first time since 2000 when the Ricktator was patrolling the sidelines.
- And at times the C's played well. Big Al showed the toughness everyone was looking for while adding another double-double (20-10). Somehow Jefferson did not attempt a free throw but he did add 5 assists for good measure.
- Allan Ray came out scorching in the first quarter and finished with 17 points. Mike and Tommy did an excellent job highlighting how much better Ray and Delonte West play on the road.
- Anthony freaking Parker was 7-9 from the 3 point line. Anthony Parker. He's averaging 11.5 points a game but has gone for 17, 18, and now 23 in his 3 games against the C's this year. All Raptors wins. This is the same guy Bill Simmons described as the following,
"Anthony Parker gets my vote for the MMP Award (Most Mediocre Player): 30 minutes a game, 10-11 points a night, gets you three rebounds, two assists and a steal, plays OK defense, and you forget he's out there at least five times per game. He's perfectly average."
- The crazy thing was I saw the wheels come off. And after the aforementioned Parker put the Raptors up by 6 with just under 4 minutes to go, I knew it was over.
- The crazy thing? I could see the C's losing 11 of their next 15, especially with the west coast road trip at the end there. Granted it's hard to predict how they will play through February, especially given the unknown status of the Truth. But...let's just move on.
