Game 5 Raptors at Celtics

After a win against the short-handed Thunder last night the Raptors find themselves a little short-handed heading into Boston to face the Celtics tonight.


  • Amir Johnson did not travel with the team due to his mysterious ankle injury and Jonas Valanciunas is likely not playing after getting whacked in the face by Sebastian Telfair yesterday. A facial contusion is what they're calling it, which is really a fancy word for a bruise.
  • Boston is 1-2 after beating Brooklyn on Opening night and losing to Dallas and Houston.
  • Last year the Raptors took the series 3 games to 1, but this year sees the Celtics adding a couple good players and losing few. Marcus Smart has been playing well and if Rajon Rondo can stay healthy the Celtics have a shot at the Eastern Playoffs
Boston's TD Garden is a notoriously difficult place for the Raptors to play and be successful. Last year saw them win for the first time at the Garden in 11 games

Tonight's song:

Boston - "Peace Of Mind"

Brad Delp was the iconic voice behind Boston, the classic rock group from the city that shares it's name. If you don't own their self-titled debut album, then that's the reason your CD rack or record shelf has always had that "incomplete" look. Really any song could have worked here from that record, but a Raptors win tonight, especially without our starting big men, would definitely give many Toronto fans some peace of mind.


Let's go boys!!
