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

[Ogaju]

How was Timelord not getting any minutes up until last game? He has looked really good.

The 'experts' will tell you he is not ready. As if he is going to get ready sitting on the bench.

Defense and ball movement equals championship

Robert for rookie of the year!

All right "soph who hasn't played much" of the year.

[Neurotic Guy]

Celts look much better when opponent shoots 25%.   C's D looks good and that accounts for some of that -- but Toronto has missed some open looks. 

Rob with a really nice stint.  Hope Brad gives him 20 minutes tonight.

Yeah everyone said Romeo would get the minutes not Rob.

I love Rob Williams.

I am also aboard the TL train. I know he's jumped on a couple of shot fakes, but, like, he is definitely better than Ibaka, right?

Great start to the 2nd for the whole team. It could have gone either way after that rough end to the first.

That's what I don't understand? How do you know if he can hang or not if he doesn't leave the bench?

Only way to knock that habit is to play him and get him experience to stay on his feet.

It's annoying me that Tatum has a 6 inch advantage over Van Fleet, yet he's getting shut down by him.

[keevsnick]

I didn't see a foul on RWill there.

[jpotter33]

IN WHAT WAY IS THAT A FOUL?! Lowry initiates the (minimal) contact with Timelord, flails and falls down, but it's a foul on Timelord??

Toronto eroding our lead

Beasting shot from Kemba and one

Raptors are ratcheting their D up big time - but really nice responses the past 2 trips.
