Can a brotha get a vote?

This is what Chris Bosh is asking in this amazing video where he poses as a used car salesman. At the very least, he gets an E for effort. Can you blame him for trying with the likes of KG and Bron Bron in his conference? Of course not! Head over to nba.com or chris-bosh.com to vote.

Celtics/Raptors Quick Impressions

October 06, 2007 By: chris Category: Raptors, Training Camp, Notes, Celtics No Comments →

I got the chance to check out today’s preseason match up between the two and wanted to mention a few things.

The Celtics big three look pretty good together.  There were some flashes of great ball movement between the three.  As a team, they definitely need to shoot the 3 a lot better, but that will obviously improve.  It seemed as though some of the guys were surprised at the number of looks they got.  Also, the entire team needs to step up on defense.  They gave up way too many wide-open looks and offensive rebounds to the Raptors, but again that will work itself out.  Overall, a lot to be excited about in Boston.

The Raptors big stand out today was Jose Calderon.  Bosh was looking his beastly self, but Calderon seems to have reached a new level in his game.  The Raptors too can use some work on defense, but that seems more attributed to not knowing what to expect from the C’s big three.  While this was only the first preseason game, you can see that these two teams will be battling throughout this year for the Atlantic title.
