Eastern Conference

The Toronto Raptors are on a roll lately, winning their past 5 games. They are playing the Charlotte Hornets tonight, who they should be able to beat. The Hornets have been struggling as of late, losing 4 out of their last 5 games.

Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Celtics compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division. Founded in 1946 as one of the league’s original eight teams, the team play their home games at TD Garden, which they share with the National Hockey League (NHL)’s Boston Bruins. The Celtics are one of the most successful teams in NBA history; they have won 22 NBA Championships, which ranks second behind the Los Angeles Lakers 53 championships.

Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are a Canadian professional basketball team based in Toronto, Ontario. The Raptors compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division. They play their home games at the Scotiabank Arena, which they share with the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs. The team was established in 1995, along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, as part of the NBA’s expansion into Canada.

The Raptors are the only Canadian-based NBA team. They failed to make the playoffs for their first five seasons but grew increasingly competitive in 2000–01, leading Division annals in wins and regular season attendance before qualifying for their first playoff berth in franchise history in 2002–03. Following four disappointing playoff berths, including a first-round sweep by Philadelphia in 2001–02 and a loss to eventual Eastern Conference champion New Jersey in 2002–03, they would win 47 games and earn the Atlantic Division title under head coach Sam Mitchell during the 2006–07 campaign. In spite of being swept by Miami again during that post-season, Toronto earned enough respect from American media outlets such that ESPN color commentator Dick Vitale referred to them as “the best team nobody’s ever heard of”, which was lampooned on an episode of South Park; Canada later revealed that it had begun televising all Raptors’ games across its territory on TSN2 beginning with this season, although this reconciliation was short lived as Vitale continues to rib them while on air when they struggle or play poorly during future broadcasts
