I live up in Canada and Leo Rautins (color commentary for the raps) was just discussing how much Tatum has blossomed now that he doesn't have to stand around and watch kyrie dribble.

Just getting a chance to tune in
 

Why did waters start? Brad doing stupid brad things and wanting to keep bemch players playing off the bench again?

But if the game is close, wouldn't be surprised to see some big lineups with Tatum running the point for at least a couple of minutes at a time. 

Tatum/Brown+ some 3 man combination of Ojeleye/Nesmith/Grant/Theis/Thompson/Time Lord.

Knew we'd see some lineups like this.

Got Tatum-Brown-Ojeleye-G.Williams-Thompson in right now.

Well, we found our next starting point guard. What a terrific pick.

I too am growing confident. The kid is a dog out there.

Junk yard dog....
Its fun having a junk yard dog that can shoot and dribble haha

It really is. Usually junk yard dogs only play hard.

Our defensive effort and rebounding this quarter has been impressive.  Great job.

Five guys all between 6'6 and 6'9. Fascinating

Hopefully we don't have our usual bad 3rd. But wow what a 2nd  :o

How about Semi Ojeleye so far this season! I was all for cutting him before it kicked off.

His response? Career highs in points, 3PT shooting, net rating, and traditional +/-

Obviously these aren’t the be-all and end-all, but he’s actually improved on his game! Never thought I’d see the day. Credit to him

Tatum should have passed to Semi on that last play to end the half. Only he was still rubbing his bollocks.

Raptors wheels have fallen off ever since they lost Ibaka and Gasol

tiny complaint. why the heck doesnt tatum pass on those final shots!!!!???

but otherwise, the celtics bench is playing over their head and toronto is playing sucky.

good!!!  ;D

i hope they can hold on to this game in the second half. but i am really impressed they are ahead by 15 at the half.
