Big win over Utah! I thought their size might give you problems. Glad to see you got a big victory and a three game win streak going into the showdown with Indy. Maybe you can pull off the upset, that would be a huge win for your team!

Rudy Gay had a good night as well. 22 and 5 and 1 steal. A

Monta Ellis scored 21 points but was 10-18 from the field. He also had 4 turnovers. B

The other rookie, aka Quincy Acy had 8 points and 9 rebounds. Solid game. B

That is a perfect picture! Good work on that lol

Great win for your team, not only did you beat a quality team but you beat them on their home court. That should give you a lot of momentum going forward! Good luck keeping the win streak alive, 5 wins in a row = reward points lol

Raptors guard Monta Ellis had some interesting things to say before Torontos game at Boston.

REPORTER: "Monta, how do you feel about opposing guard Avery Bradley, who will be guarding you in tonights game?"

M.E.: "AB's a great defensive player. I respect that, but I still believe he can't stop me. He's a great defensive player and I'm an even better offensive player. Trust me, he ain't stoppin' me tonight."

REPORTER: "Those are some pretty bold comments Monta."

M.E.: "Yeah, and I'ma back them up tonight, just watch. This team isn't going to become a contender, WE ARE contenders. The NBA's gonna' see that tonight. Peace."

Will Monta and the Raptor's be able to back up those comments? We'll see tonight when Toronto takes on the Celtics.

Monta's Correct

Well here's a tweet from Monta Ellis after tonight's win over the Boston Celtics 83-71.

@IamMonta:#toldya

He was right. He told us that Avery Bradley wouldn't be able to guard him tonight and he was right. Monta had 20 points, 7 assists and was 2-3 from downtown. He also harassed Bradley on the defensive end. AB ended with 3 points on 1-8 shooting and had 4 turnovers. Monta also said that the Raptors wouldn't become contenders, but they already are. He was right on that too. Toronto has now won 5 games straight and is 6-3. They just dominated a championship caliber team with tons of veteran experience.

Demar DeRozan had a GREAT game. It was his first game back from injury and he ended with 14 points and 9 rebounds. He was 7-11 from the field. Toronto superstar Rudy Gay had a very quiet night. He only took 5 shots and made 5. He ended with 11 points and 3 steals. It's good to see that the team can win without him having a big night. Kyle Lowry had 10 points,8 assists to go along with 2 steals. Quincy Acy and Jonas V each had good rebounding nights. 10 points and 6 boards for Acy and 2 points and 8 rwbounds for Jonas. The Raptors shot 49% from the field and have now won five straight. Their next game is tomorrow night at home against a struggling Magic team.

Raptors Win 6 Straight

[i]The Raptors beat the Orlando Magic 97-87 last night. This is the 6th straight win for a Toronto team that started off 0-2. They are now 7-3.

Rudy Gay had 28 points, and 7 rebounds in the win. He was the only player in the game to score 20 or more. Monta Ellis had 12 points and 2 steals in what was a quiet night for him. He had 10 of his 12 in the first half. Kyle Lowry had one of the worst games of the season. He did have 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists but he had 6 turnovers. The Raptors couldn't take care of the ball well all night as they finished with 18 turnovers all together. Jonas V had a great game. 8 points and 13 rebounds, 5 of which, were offensive.

For the Magic, Hedo Turkoglu had 15 points and 3 steals. They were 4-22 from downtown for a terrible 18%.

Toronto's next game is against Philly .[i]
