Heidi Comes to T-Dot • Dime Magazine’s Blog – FOX Sports Blogs

Boston started out in a zone, with KG on the perimeter guarding everyone from Bargnani to Anthony Parker to Ford, while Perk stayed down low on Bosh. From the tip Bosh went right at Perkins every time he touched the ball, but it wasn’t working. He shot 2-for-10 in regulation. Bosh’s stat line looked good (19 pts, 10 rebs, 5 blks), but it didn’t reflect how unreliable he was and how KG (23 pts, 13 rebs, 6 asts, 3 stls) owned him in overtime. On one play KG caught it in the post, paused to fix his rubber band, backed Bosh in and gave him some shimmy action setting up a turnaround J …

scotts shots – lottomatica

- crowd is definitely a lot more sparse. Maybe the draw of Andrea really is weak like some say.

- delfino starting instead of kapono.

- sloppy start. Il Mago missing 2 of 2 FT and bad passes by TJ.

- ukic with a sweet move. somebody should sign that guy!

- allen ray looking pretty good too.

- oh look…Violet Palmer again. Gonna be a long game.

- roko is schooling TJ….2 straight turnovers and on him like a glove.

- the raptors defence is pathethic. Back to the turnstile D.

- how is this for a lineup: humphries, garbo, jose, joey, carlos.

- first fast break basket by the Raptors comes at the 11minute mark.  Suns of the North, huh?

- good first quarter, bit sloppy. Raps are getting caught by lottomatica leaking out. Guess roma has been watching the playoff game tapes.

- best Bargs sequence I’ve seen yet…agressive rebound on the defensive end, runs the floor, takes the ball at the top of the key, puts it on the floor to drive and gets fouled. No reason he can’t do this 10 times a game and hit the free throw line for, literally, 20 FREE throws a game.

- ain’t no d in transition.

- our inability to break the zone makes a nice re-appearance in 2007. I’ve missed you. How’ve you been? See you haven’t changed much.

- bad play by Graham. Horrible foul on a 3pt shot, possible 4 point play. Sam must have just lost a year off his life.

- as an aside, sherman hamilton’s interviews suck large. i think RapsTV let the wrong person go.

- bargs 11, bosh 10.

- parker back in after only 4 minutes in the first half. Wonder if he is the odd man out. No real reason to rest him, is there?

- bargs and bosh are inching toward double doubles

- raps look in disarray to start the fourth, this with a solid unit of Garbo, Jose, Bosh…

- ESPN 2 having technical issues. Maybe Maurizio is pissed at the subpar play and has snipped a few cables.

- great, so the feed finally comes back and we are up 14. What the hell happened?  Oh wait, now it’s 82-75. I love ESPN. They should hire Rod Black.

- oh my god, we have ball movement!! WE HAVE BALL MOVEMENT!!!

- calderon and ukic battling down the stretch.

- 93 – 87 Toronto wins! Toronto wins! Torrrrrrrrrrrrronto wins!!

- sloppy game in a lot of respects, but Sam put the good guys in at the end to wrest away the win.

scotts shots – boston game oct 6

- no matter what, the starting 5 of the Celtics are intimidating.

- celtics get more applause than the foreign laden Raptors

- is it just me or don’t the baskets look higher in Italy…

- to me, bargs looks thinner, not bigger.

- delfino could be the darkhorse.

- bargs has the hot hand…swish swish swish

- garnett to perkins under the basket is just typical of the MVP type player garnett is.

- bosh stuffs garnett onto his ass.

- refs calling a lot of travelling violations. No surprise that Violet Palmer is on the floor.

- Rondo is impressive. Good court vision, smooth stroke. He must be salivating thinking he gets to feed Garnett.

- raps 5/12 from 3 nearing the end of the half.

- garnett reverse stuffs….and screams.

- garnett outjumps Bosh and 2 other raptors below the basket and slams it home. Ahhh…some things never change in Raptorland.

- boston 43 – toronto 40 at the half

- raps shoot 38%, are 5/12 from the 3 and 5/9 at FT. Bargs has 3 fouls. Welcome to 2006…er 2007.

- garnett as a double double at the half.

- NBA tv commentators are trying to pay dues to the Raptors, but the love for the Celtics is overshadowing.

- bargs puts it on the floor against garnett. Nice move, draws a foul.

- bargs getting physical with garnett on the defensive end….but picks up his 4th.

- KG is definitely the star of the game, schooling almost every Raptor that they put on him.

- oh oh…pierce has his fadeaway going….

- would it surprise you if I told you the Raptors are getting beaten on the boards? thought not.

- Rasho with a nice block. I love Rasho. He’s my man.

- TJ feeling some hot fingers.

- Garbo has been nailed to the bench.

- garnett: 19 pts 16 boards at the end of 3.

- 70-68 Celtics at the end of 3.

- Tony Allen comes down on his hurt knee and limps a bit afterward, but is fine.

- Moon and Baston on the floor with 8mins left.

- Moon with a nice smooth outside shot. The commentators are all over Moon, love the guy.

- Baston looks as expected: a 10th or 11th man at best.

- Big Baby looks great on both ends of the floor….still Big, but moving well.

- juan dixon is working hard, trying to win it on his own.

- Raptors had a chance to win it, but Dixon’s shot is long.

- 2 more chances for naught.

- Boston wins 89-85.  Great exhibition game. Good crowd.  Looks like they enjoyed it.
