Raptors Post Game Report Card: Toronto Stuns Boston Celtics at ACC
A loss to the Milwaukee Bucks followed by a win against the Boston Celtics is certainly a topic for discussion amongst Raptor columnists.

Raptors 86, Celtics 74: Make it two straight hideous defeats
The Boston Celtics took more than two minutes to score, and when they did, their first two points were the result of a bogus foul call. An off-balance Kevin Garnett jump shot bounded off the backboard and almost smacked Mickey Mouse, chilling on his couch down in Florida, more than 1,000 miles away, straight between the eyes, but Garnett was sent to the foul line and made both free...

I don’t believe in this ‘smaller line-up’ the Toronto Raptors have been using lately, starting two point guards, shifting DeMar DeRozan and James Johnson out of their natural positions. The Raps usually get out-matched by a team with size, and ultimately takes a toll on the players bodies.
However, I’m officially for Jerryd Bayless starting over Jose Calderon...
