Raptors (33-12) at Celtics (25-18) Game #44 1/16/19

[blink]

nice entry pass from Jaylen and great play by Al.

[Atzar]

Give some credit to this Toronto unit, guys.  IMO it's not like we've come out of the half flat.  But this Toronto starting unit has plus defenders at every position.  They're going to string stops together at times.

[Chief]

Old man came to play.

Good D Hayward

[PAOBoston]

Ibaka just torches Horford

[celticinorlando]

Raps travel and lead with the off arm like crazy

Lowrey is such a crying flopper

Boston was up 16 with a chance to go up 18 and have totally fallen a part.

Once again they lose the game in the third quarter with stupid lazy offense a little defense

I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’ve totally fallen apart they’re fighting at least. Toronto has the best record in the NBA they were bound to make a run. This will be a test of character for the Cs to hang on

I can’t express how much I hate JT pump faking a guy and then for NO reason stepping into a deep 2. It’s effectively identical in terms of difficulty for LESS POINTS!!!

[celticinorlando]

Lazy ass Monroe did nothing in Boston.

He needs to keep going all the way to the hole!

[cltc5]

Kick it out brown!

[ozgod]

Not the best shot attempt from Jaylen when Gordon was open at the 3 point line

have to say Toronto's impressing me this game as the team to beat in the East and not a regular season phenomenon.  the way they play reminds me a bit of the prime Spurs teams --> smart, intelligent, selfless.  Tough D and contributions from everyone.

I was about to mention that, he could just as easily step sideways

Exactly. Force the contact and draw fouls on their bigs or take the bloody open 3. Don’t take the garbage deep 2
