I'm excited about this game, if they can't get up for this game on National TV, someone better check for a pulse.
Oh crap, notorious Celtics hater - Howbie Brown - calling the game. Tells us Hubble, what does Toronto has to do to win the game?
Brown super aggressive
Love the aggressiveness on both sides of the ball. Jaylen playing some excellent defense on Kawhi
Brown super aggressive
I like it. Need to play like that all game.
Oh my goodness, what is that ref watching? That's as easy of a call as it gets. Got to keep it close, I guess ::)
Leave Hayward on bench please..seem like Cs play better
Really dislike this Raptor team.

The refs seem to like them.
Smart thinks he’s Ray Allen. How long until we lose our lead
Smart thinks he’s Ray Allen. How long until we lose our lead
Because he shot one three in rhythm? Lol He definitely overestimates his shooting ability at times, but that's not been the case so far tonight.
Got out of the quarter with a lead but it was meh towards the end.

Or this season. He's averaging less than 5 shots per game.
Just wish Rozier would play within himself
hayward has 2 steals so far and many altered passesLeave Hayward on bench please..seem like Cs play better
Struggles moving his feet on defense
Hayward is being a pest on defense. He’s deflected and altered many passes tonight
That bank shot by baynes was so so ugly
Hayward running the second unit is perfect
Can they review that Leonard shot?
Baynes looks like if the hulk and Thor had a baby
Baynes looks like if the hulk and Thor had a baby
He should carry a hammer around with him.
Boston is getting absolutely no calls at all. It is really one sided
Has Green ever missed a shot against the C's?
Smart is a great defender but Leonard has his number tonight.
hayward looks like he is running and moving in slow motion. has he also played with that pace?Are we watching the same game? Hayward looks better tonight than he has all year.

We have plenty of people to guard him in Brown, Morris, and Semi, let alone Smart. Brown has been as good as you can be on him tonight.
At some point our coaching staff needs to drill into Tatum's head to drive the ball. Especially when his shot isn't falling. He settles way too much.

Zebras doing their best to make sure Toronto stays in this game.

God, Lowry really is such a ****. Dude flops virtually every time down the floor.Wouldn’t mind seeing him get belted
Hey brad you should wait until the entire lead evaporates before calling time.....oh wait
What a terrible close to this half. Up 13 to most likely being down at the half. Just like the first meeting. Toronto just has their number

What do you do when shots are not falling? Take more 3s because that's in Brad's books. lol
2nd quarter Rotations 6 mins down have been atrocious. Tatum isn’t ready for this game. Hayward is giving us a good game, play him more

Plus he needs to get a technical on some of these bad calls....
And Kawhi gets away with a blatant walk on the fastbreak with no call ::) Do they ever call him for anything?

Kyrie just scored in the paint to end the half
Someone needs to smack Lowry in the face
Well, that quarter could have been worse all things considered. We went cold from 3 and had our usual offensive meltdown, yet still have a 2 point lead going into the half.

Yabu would be perfect for that. Not sure how else he can help the team.
Hayward already has 15 mins logged. He's still restricted right?I think the restriction was lifted.
When Kyrie is on offensively, he's easily my favorite player to watch league-wide.His 3 in the corner earlier, fade-away falling side-ways. Stuff like that. Just makes it look so effortlessly smooth!
Gotta get more out of Tatum. He is disappearing far too often these daysTatum starting to remind me of Carmelo, shot-selection-wise.

Oh, and Brad, I don't care what your rotations are, every minute Kawhi is in the game, Brown should be in guarding him.

That close angle fadeaway off the glass was just beautiful.

Get traded as salary filler for a Davis deal this summer :P
Offense got out of rhythm and Toronto got tons of calls to cause the lead to evaporate but Toronto is one of the best teams in the league. Those things will happen. Come out and play aggressive for the final 24 and C's should take this.

Looking at the box score everything is almost completely even except Boston is shooting better from three and Toronto is shooting better from two.

Fouls. That is the big reason.

So, to follow this logic - we've controlled the game for 1.5 quarters and they've controlled the game for 1 quarter, so somehow this means, "Celtics can't beat this team. Toronto just toying with them."? Good Lord lol
These announcers are idiotic sometimes.Hubie Brown is absolutely unbearable. He’s completley removed from reality, lol. There’s a reason people aren’t supposed to work at 85, and he’s a good example
there was no trip by smart
Even Tommy is getting ticked off by the lack of drives to the rim.
These announcers are idiotic sometimes.Meh. Listening to Mike and Tommy here. Tommy brings a whole different kind of bias :]

He’s been ticked off for a few weeks now
Bad news, we cant beat Toronto and they will win the East..good news, we going get a middle draft pick..Ainge like that..
Raptors own us
Complete failure once again by Brad on these rotations in the third. These rotation decisions are just mind-numbingly inconsistent and illogical.i'm not worried about rotations
Bad news, we cant beat Toronto and they will win the East..good news, we going get a middle draft pick..Ainge like that..
I’m sensing the team is getting frustrated with calls not going their way and it’s affecting their approach on both ends. Brad has to settle them down during this timeout. There’s plenty of time left in this game.

brad spices it up until the second half of the season and gathers data
there are other things i worry about though...
Raptors have best defense I have seen any team play the Celtics.
Guys...the first game was a two point game with 3 minutes left in the game. This game isn't over and Toronto has a lead because of a ton of calls and poor offense. The Raptors don't own us nor are they better than us. They controlled the last three minutes of the first game and have taken advantage of a bad quarter this game.
And vise versa. Hence 2 point game.Guys...the first game was a two point game with 3 minutes left in the game. This game isn't over and Toronto has a lead because of a ton of calls and poor offense. The Raptors don't own us nor are they better than us. They controlled the last three minutes of the first game and have taken advantage of a bad quarter this game.
At this point of the season they are better. Can that change? Sure. But all it takes is one bad quarter for them to get enough daylight to control the game and put it away. Boston cannot afford 5 or 6 empty possessions against this team

Up 4 going into the 4th. Really "putting it away." ::)
Also, they've played 9 of their 15 games at home; we've played 9 of our 14 games away from home. I'd say that plays a major factor in the record difference.
did brown play at all in the 3rd? wth is going on with our rotations right now?

One good thing so far tonight (no jinx) - forums working great!Ooooh I've had a couple issues hahaha
again, when hayward is healthy this is clearly a celtics win.
good game so far, fun to watch. ;D
lots of time left, celtics win this one!

I am saying against a good team like Toronto you cannot give them prolonged opportunities where you don't score. They will make you pay for it. Yes they are "only up 4" but that was a -6 quarter for the C's coming out of the half....was hoping to have a better third.
And yes...Toronto has gotten every single call tonightAh man, we disagree a lot today! I feel we've gotten plenty calls. Reffing has been mediocre both ways.
Tatum, can you not be Carmelo for a sec plz thx :]It hurts my eyes
Rozier and Brown, brick after brick
3 VERY makeable shots missed -- down 8. Geez......
Another p--- poor start to the quarter. I truly don't understand how we struggle so much and look like a D-League team for long periods of every game.
Why don't they attack the basket?
Irving has not even been a factor this half and that is on Brad. Keep him on the floor
God I love this year's Kyrie that is legitimately good on both sides of the ball.I hadn't watched ball in years, seeing him at the start of the season I felt he was mediocre or decidedly MEH. But he's definitely come into his own in the past 4 games or so.
I'm just glad Rozier is out of the game.
I'm just glad Rozier is out of the game.

I am very nervous
Heck of a game so far!
feeling confident in a stop here by the C'sdang, wish my prognostication was as good at picking the megamillions winner tonight
Hella defense by Morris there.
Though I'm not exactly sure why we didn't have Brown out there, especially with Morris coming off of sickness.
Well, got the stop.Sometimes, you've gotta want it ALL.
Kinda sucks that we have a game tomorrow... against Utah who I really, really want revenge against.

YA THINK??????????????????
This is a heck of a game. The five that's in the game in overtime....Is that the starting five come playoff time??

That needs to be our motto this season. Put a banner of it on the way out of the locker room. Put it in the new training facility. Put it in the pool. Hell spray paint it onto Tatum's car if you have to.

Irving transcends mortality when he's feeling it. Some of those shots he made tonight were unreal.
Hayward was unreal too. We don't win this game without his contributions - from boxing out, creating deflections, steals, clutch FTs.
Just the ease with which he scores man... holy bells.Irving transcends mortality when he's feeling it. Some of those shots he made tonight were unreal.

This was Kyries best game as a Celtic, he’s had quite a few but this one tops it I think. He refused to let us lose and got 11 assists as well. And Hayward will be fine, this game will give him huge confidence. Key contributions from everyone at the death as well.

The site ran beautifully tonight, just like The Celtics!
Take what worked the 4th and OT and keep doing it. But Kyrie cannot sit for almost the entire 3rd. He had 3 shots and that is when the game got away from the Celtics.
Would rather see Hayward run point when Kyrie sits than Rozier
The site ran beautifully tonight, just like The Celtics!
Yeah, gotta give props to the site when it is functioning optimally
Hayward had by far the highest +/- on our team tonight with a +18the last two games he has shown he is getting better. when the playoffs come, hayward should be fine and the celtics will roll into the final.

Remember first meet Kawhi had 31pt on 25 shots and people here are saying he is dominating/unstoppable?

Take what worked the 4th and OT and keep doing it. But Kyrie cannot sit for almost the entire 3rd. He had 3 shots and that is when the game got away from the Celtics.
Would rather see Hayward run point when Kyrie sits than Rozier
Kyrie will need consistent help. Tatum showed it tonight despite a series of sloppy plays. Would love to see him show he can be a weapon every night.
agreed. and his team lost tonight. ;DRemember first meet Kawhi had 31pt on 25 shots and people here are saying he is dominating/unstoppable?Wrong. Kawhi is a superstar.

The Baynes-Jonas matchup was a great sideshow highlight tonight too. They were like two wildebeasts wrestling all night.i know. it was fun to watch them. i was really impressed by baynes' defense.
My guess is byennie made some tweaks to make things better. TPs for byennie!!!

Kawhi is a legit superstar, top 10 player in the league. He's doing it on Toronto without Pop so far this season, they are a top 5 team in the league.
No need to disparage his game. It's even more impressive that we beat a top team with an MVP caliber player tonight.
The Baynes-Jonas matchup was a great sideshow highlight tonight too. They were like two wildebeasts wrestling all night.
I think Baynes is one of the only players that Valanciunas can’t just move out of the way. Very physical matchup and Baynes doesn’t give an inch.

He's torched us in both games this season, and we lost one of those two games.

Yeah, he had 31 points / 15 boards / 4 assists / 3 steals against us tonight....it is so obvious how good he is.

Yeah, and he put that up against the top defense in the league.
Before the game we had the best defensive rating in the league and lowest points scored against in the league. Our defense isn't as good as it will get, but even so, it's still the best in the leagueToronto wins 65 games with DDRHe was a superstar because of Pop, he is a system made superstar, all those achieve is under PopRemember first meet Kawhi had 31pt on 25 shots and people here are saying he is dominating/unstoppable?Wrong.

Okay I agree Kawhi is a superstar (Top-3 or 4 in the league). But top defense in the league? Really?? Love the C’s but we’re still figuring things out (defense has looked much better lately but is still a bit shaky)
Please stop shooting 3s Brown
Celtics can't beat this team. Toronto just toying with them. Sickening
Dude. It's a 5 point game.
Toronto has controlled this game from mid second quarter on. Down 13 and now tied. They are getting easy shots and are a better shooting team
thanks. :)Please stop shooting 3s Brown

Hayward: 15/5/5 (on just 8 shots) with 4 steals on a team high +17.Not to mention some crucial boxing out efforts that drew big fouls, getting Siakam out of the game. Probably his most influential game to date
It was good to see him put there in OT. I think with the minutes restriction lifted we will see him be able to get into a rhythm more often. Also nice to see him run the offense for a bit. He’s a very capable playmaker.

It is good to see how effective he is becoming on the defensive end with blocks, rebounds, deflections as he gets more comfortable offensively. Very positive game.
As others have noted, Kawhi Leonard did not look at his peak tonight.
I've long said that Leonard's game would decline quickly. I don't think he has the ball-handling or passing to be an elite player for much longer. He looked like he was lumbering up and down the court sometimes. Obviously, he is still a top 10 player in the league and made a lot of plays last night.
It's a long season. Maybe something will change.

Wow I must have watched a different game last night. He looked pretty darn elite to me. Check his box score.
Yeah, I didn't see that. Kawhi, much like Paul Pierce, has always been what seems to be a slower explosion to the basket but always picks the right line to finish it off or pick up a foul. He also bailed the Raptors out on about 5 separate trips with last second on the 24 second clock shots hitting mid range jumpers. And his shot looks absolutely wet. And he is great defensively. Kawhi sure looks like the same Kawhi to me.As others have noted, Kawhi Leonard did not look at his peak tonight.

I saw the box score, but it wasn't a box score thing. Again, still a top 10 player, but there's something about him that seems lesser than he used to be.
