Celtics (39-15) at Raptors (36-16) Game #55 2/6/18

[CelticSooner]

We'll see if they can comeback from a huge deficit once again.

Wait wait wait wait... so they look at all hits to the face now, but they're not going to look at this??

[blink]

Toronto regular season good but playoff good?? They seem to do this quite often

Ya Lowry especially has gotten flack for being a non-factor in the playoffs. The bigger the stage, the smaller he gets it looks like.

I think we should stop saying this, it is like we are testing fate.  So things are a-ok because Toronto never made it to the NBA finals?  That logic just isn't sound.

THIS toronto team looks pretty tough...

Come on he didn’t do anything just went up

[celticinorlando]

I think tonight shows that Greg Monroe should probably start when he gets here

[jpotter33]

Baynes is so bad at finishing dunks. 2nd oop he's missed tonight

He really is I have to say.  A lot are far down too.  Kyrie has missed a lot of assists from that.

Now imagine Monroe though.

Well, Tatum's passes weren't perfect either. But it surely does seem that Baynes is struggling the farther we get into the season.

[KGs Knee]

Seriously, where is Kyrie right now?

Sprained uterus.  And/or doesn't feel like playing up to the AS break, like the rest of the league (see GSW).  But most play through it respectfully, as it is a job.

This comment is the textbook definition of sexist and should not be allowed here ever.

What the heck is going on in here?

[nickagneta]

Seriously, where is Kyrie right now?

Sprained uterus. 

Dumb comment even for you.

If you're going to quote, take the whole thing -- there was a serious reply too.  And thanks.  Is that a rule violation, mods?  No?  I guess I'll respond with an insult too, then -- kiss my ass.

Knock it off. All the comments were out of line. Let's respect each other and stay classy.

[SHAQATTACK]

Anywho...I cannot wait for Boston to get Monroe and some outside shooting off then bench

Hayward and Monroe ...what im hoping to see

You're right but straight up Baynes has missed a lot of dunks where the ball is in the rim at some point or just near it.  Other guys like Monroe would be finishing.  He is great near the rim, on top of being a great post scorer.

[celticinorlando]

And Baynes to the list of guys who are hurt

He probably is done for a few games for concussion

[jpotter33]

Wait wait wait wait... so they look at all hits to the face now, but they're not going to look at this??

Sure, and I agree with that. But they literally always check hits/elbows to the face/head anymore, regardless if there was something called. The fact that they just simply pick and choose what to do now shows how inconsistent/subjective the officiating standard is.

[KGs Knee]

Celtics playing like dog doo tonight for sure though.

Bleh...

Let's hope for some second half effort at least.

Free Greg Monroe
