Raptors-Celtics Pre-Season Opener in Italy

So what did everyone think of the game?

First game to see Ray, Pierce, and KG all at the same time. I laughed at the tech foul on KG, he acted like he didn't do anything hahahaha, he knows the rules :P

Great game to watch, really fun. I love where the Raptors are going and the East is certainly a lot more exciting, not to mention the Atlantic division, to watch with the All Star trio in Boston. Free agents would definitely love to head over there and have a nice championship run for sure.

That's just crazy, imagining your team going from garbage one season with a totally unnappreciative star player in Pierce just not really caring, and then suddenly you have three All Stars on your team, one being ***king Kevin Garnett.

I mean, god damn! That's just crazy....

Anyway, really looking forward to the Raptors season, going to be following them well, Toronto fan here, from Toronto. I like our team a lot, Ford, Bosh, Bargnani, Calderon, Garbo, Parker and our new additions with Delfino (amazing pickup) and Kapono.

Pretty good pickups as well in Maceo Baston and Luke Jackson, I think Luke Jackson will find a solid role for being there for when others are not on their game.

P.S. Holy crap, just went to raptors.com... http://www.nba.com/raptors/

A MUUUUUCCCH needed overhaul, my god, the site was ***king ugly until like today! Smart move to improve it now with the team climbing up to some solid material soon.

I'm sure there's at least one other basketball fan out here... lol!

The play between KG, Pierce and Allen really suprised me.. they played amazingly well together, I didn't even know I could be more excited to see them play together but it looks like they could make one of the best three men combinations in 20 years.

I've never seen them play, but I'm sure they will have a good chance of winning the division, barring any injuries and that those 3 can work together. Honestly, I believe that there may come a point in the season where they all want to score and not enough passing is going on. If I'm not mistaken, they also lack a dominant center. I can also agree with the Raptors having a pretty good and rising team as well.

I am a Nets fan and like the team the Nets have. We will see how the division turns out. Despite some possibly quality teams...I still don't think any team in this division can win a championship against the best team in the west.
