Celtics (0-0) at Raptors (0-0) Round 2 Game 1 8/30/20

[Androslav]

Lets Go Celtics!!!                                     Beat the Raptors!!!

TP...          FLCF...

When The Celtics beat the Raps will al the coverage be about what's wrong with the Raps like it was for the Sixers?

I don't think so. Toronto is a top tier organization.
6ers are a mess top to bottom.
Elton Brand is leading their current evaluation. Reminds me of a wolf supervising flock of sheeps.
What could possibly go wrong?

[Celtics Mike]

I don't think so  the Raptors are not as dysfunctional as Philly. Quite the opposite. They are well coached and have a balanced team of scorers.
Its gonna be a tough series but if Celtics come out winners that'll be great for their confidence. 

May also get some respect in the media which is probably the point you were trying to make.

[FLCeltsFan]

Just a heads up.  The Bucks/Magic game has been postponed due to a boycott by the Bucks.  Lakers/Blazers is also postponed from what I read.  Celtics/Raptors are leaning toward boycotting as well.

TP FLCeltsFan!

Although yeah, this game probably doesn't happen. Raptors-Celtics were the first teams to discuss a boycott but the Bucks surprised everyone and did a boycott and then more teams followed. Makes it seem inevitable Game 1 tomorrow will also be postponed. Maybe more games as well.

Is the game going to be postponed or does the season resume tonight

According to Woj, it won’t restart until tomorrow at the earliest. Most likely over the weekend

Convenient for Toronto with Lowry’s injury.

Yeah the game tonight is postponed. But games will likely resume again this weekend.

(I think I've corrected a quoting error, but if I'm misquoting you let me know.)


Have to wonder if this could also benefit the C's this playoffs, in the longer term.

Raptors get Lowry a couple of extra days to recover, which obviously helps them vs the C's.

But it also gives Hayward a couple of extra days to recover and for his wife to give birth.  If the C's advance, could be the difference between Hayward coming back Game 2 or 3 vs the Bucks vs Game 4 or 5 (if he makes it back at all).

Assuming of course everything is just pushed back a couple of days, and they don't just eliminate a rest day or something.

Yep, and it probably helps the starters in general too as it keeps them a bit fresh, considering they have to basically play about 40 minutes a game because our bench can't score consistently well.

Just saw that Wednesday's games will be played on Saturday and Today's games will be played on Sunday.   So Round 2  for Celtics/Raptors will begin on Sunday

TP again FLCeltsFan.

So I guess we got a few more days of relaxing until C's resume again 

(Except if you're also a Bruins fan like me, then we suffer!)

Too bad they didn't schedule it for 3 weeks from today when Hayward is ready to go. 

[jambr380]

Really couldn't have worked out better for Kyle Lowry/the Raptors - three extra days is an eternity for resting a sprained ankle (unless you're Gordon Hayward). Hopefully we can come out and take control of the series from the start. TP FLC for the thread and update!
