Looks good BB, i'd be on it if Celtics weren't off those 3 losses. Just can't fade a powerhouse off that many straight L's. 

Hope it hits

I don't like Raptors in big games without Valanciunas.

Thanks, fellas. And thanks for all the feedback. 

My play is 1 unit on the Raps +3 and 1 unit on the Raps +125 ML

I'd go bigger but 2 reasons keep me from doing so.

1) Been cold lately
2) Bad crap happens on the road more often than at home in the NBA (i.e.,  officiating being #1).

I might have a play on the Clippers later.

I am sorry but you forgot to mention that kicked  pacers out of the house while pacers were very very hot.

Says a lot for the biggest Celtics capper on the site to fade his team (Bb) and the biggest Raptors capper (Packers) to take that team in the same game.

Good luck BB

What a shit second quarter from the craptors. Lowry looks disinterested.

C's look very focused, Hayward can't miss.

Raps coach left Kawhi on the bench for way too long 2nd Q and Raps didn't score for 8 minutes.

Too big of a bounce back game for Boston, be surprised if Raps come back.

only the raps could come back from 16 down, take the lead with 3 mins left

and lose by nine. every time they did something right they follow it up with a bad play. steadfastly refused to take the ball inside, or to defend the 3 point line. leonard MIA the last five minutes.

it was like they purposely passed the ball until they found the most difficult shot possible and THEN chuck it up. guys don't even seem to be aware that layups or dunks actually exist.

Kyle gave this game away, should have kept feeding Kawhi for the win, instead he took a STUPID 3

The margin between winning and losing these games tonight was so tight, just as it it was so wide yesterday. Detroit should not have covered, but they did, NO should have covered, but they did not or pushed, Rockets and Nets could have gone either way, ditto for Spurs and Mavs, and then there was this game...Raptor up by 4 on at least three occasions with less than 6 to go and they could not close deal, again. Boston hitting shot after shot, and Lowry could not buy a bucket to save his life (that 3 he missed that could have pushed the lead to 7 was an absolute killer, and an absolute choke). Without Leonard this team would be joke, as usual. The there was grandpa Horford, having the game of his life: 9-12 from the field and 3-4 from 3! Are you firkin kidding me? He could play another hundred years and not have a night like that. Celtics, as a team, 50% from 3, even Baines, returning from a broken hand, hits a killer 3. Unfreakinbelievable. And to top it all off, Irving hits a 35 footer to push the lead to 5 and bury the raptors. And I thought this team did not have another miracle win in them. F*** Me!

The Rockets game was worse BB. I watched both. But I certainly thought there was no way the Celts would come back after the Raps clawed all the way back.

Rockets up 124-113 with two minutes.

Up 7 in OT with 1:28.

Lose outright blowing up all ML’s and sides 148-145...

How about live betting the Pels at -450 up 16 with 6 minutes left in the third only to be trailing by one at the end of the quarter...

With almost 300 points being scored in both games it is more uncertain than ever who covers these spreads...

Don't be so hard on yourself, the Celtics v Raptors games this year can be a hit or miss. As a Raps fan I was trying to be objective and saw that there may be opportunity with all of Kyrie's on camera talk that there may be dismay in Celtic land.

Suffice it to say, they pulled through against the Raps - which does not mean that they are a cohesive unit by any means. They just brought out their best game against us, a potential EC finals match, and add to that the fact they are coming off of 3 road losses prior to coming home against one the best teams in the East.

Can't blame ref calls away but one does wonder as a Raps fan why the last 5 mins went FUBAR. 

Thought I'd share my tid-bit too, I've been following threads here but just joined as a member today. =) 

 

Keep up the good work!
