Celtics (45-23) at Raptors (49-18) Seeding Game #5 8/7/20

[footey]

They are Jekyll and Hyde. Look ordinary one game, unbeatable the next. Like last December we crushed in Toronto then a week later they schooled us. Key is to contain Lowry

[SCeltic34]

So, is it just me, or is Toronto not that scary of a matchup for us?

Don't get me wrong, they're really good and well-coached. But I just don't think they have the top-level talent to really scare me and beat us over a seven game series.

I agree.  They're like the Nuggets.  Good regular season record, talented but not enough elite talent to be a serious contender.  Can't beat a healthy C's team in a 7 game series.

Gordy with the change of speed!

The Toronto Raptors are never going to score again.

This should simplify tonight's strategy.

They just scored twice let’s hope that’s it for the quarter 

[RPGenerate]

Did Lowry just self pass? Or am I mistaken?

[ozgod]

What a Mickey Mouse foul

[jpotter33]

Lowry just traveled twice on the same possession and neither were called lol

[Atzar]

Our defensive effort has been terrific so far.  I don't think we'll keep this up for 48 minutes, but I'd love to be proven wrong. 

[footey]

Kemba seems off. Right?

[gouki88]

Timelord so much better for defending Ibaka than Horford was, lol

[SCeltic34]

Great D by Timelord.

[jpotter33]

Ohhh, a Timelord sighting. Will be interested to see how this turns out. Good defense on Ibaka to start off.

[ozgod]

We must take advantage of the fact that Toronto can’t hit the side of a barn right now

[Atzar]

Kemba seems off. Right?

He got caught on a moving screen that included a shot to the bingos.  Was a bit shaky after that. 

[CelticSooner]

Both teams playing tough defense. Nothing easy.
