Game Notes
The Toronto Raptors come into town tonight to take on their long time Atlantic Division rivals, the Boston Celtics. This is the second game on a quick three game homestand for the Celtics and the first game of a rare back to back both being at home in the TD Garden. Boston beat the Chicago Bulls to open the homestand in a convincing 112-82 win that they desperately need after a poor 1-4 west coast swing. Toronto is coming into the game losing their last two games, both at home, to New Orleans and Detroit. Toronto allowed superstars Anthony Davis and Blake Griffin to dominate in both losses.

This is the second meeting between the Raptors and Celtics with Toronto winning the first game in Toronto in the second game of the season. The contest was an extremely close game for the first 45 minutes with Boston trailing by only 2 with 2:53 left in the game before ultimately losing 113-101 when Toronto closed the game on a 12-2 run. Kawhi Leonard had an amazing 2nd half that game finishing with 31 points and 10 rebounds and Serge Ibaka had a strong showing with 21 points on an efficient 10-14 shooting night.
The Celtics had a very balanced attack in that game with all 5 starters scoring in double figures led by Kyrie Irving's 21 points.

Toronto leads the Eastern Conference at 12-3 under new first year coach, Nick Nurse. Nurse has been able to integrate Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green into the starting lineup and Toronto was dominant as the ran out of the gates on a 12-1 game streak. Toronto has the third best offense in the NBA and is led by Kawhi Leonard, who is once again showing why he is considered a top 5 player in the NBA by putting up 24.2 points and 7.8rebounds per game. All-Star PG, Kyle Lowry, is having another stellar season as he leads the league with 10.7assists per game and also scoring 16.1points per game. The Raptors are also getting excellent offensive production in their frontcourt. Veteran Serge Ibaka ia having a renaissance year with career highs in scoring at 17.4 ppg and shooting efficiency at 62.3 TS% all while leading the team in rebounding with 8.4 per game. Third year big man, Pascal Siakim, is having a breakout year putting up 14.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

I have Valanciunas as starting but don't be surprised that with Boston's small ball starting five that Nick Nurse goes with Siakim and Ibaka as his frontcourt in the starting lineup. Toronto has a very good defense, 11th, in the league, so for the Celtics to win they are going to have to continue to improve on offense as they have all of November. The Celtics will need another big night from Kyrie Irving who has been averaging 25.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in November with shooting percentages at 52.2/49/100 and a TS% of 66.4%. As a team, Boston continues to shoot better in November and will need to continue taking it to the hole to kick out for open threes in their inside out offense but also will need players like Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum, and Terry Rozier to attack the rim and close out their layups. The Raptors and Celtics both have amongst the best bench units in the league and rely on bench production to win. The BWA will have their hands full containing Toronto's reserves of Valaciunas, Anunoby, VanVleet and Powell. The difference in this game could be which bench unit performs the best.

Excited for this one.

C's have had only 1 game in the last 4 days after a tough road stretch.

And that 1 game was a 29 point home win, which hopefully helps them get their groove back (along with plenty of time to practice).

Hayward appears to be done with his minutes restriction.

Everybody's healthy.

Game's at home, and the Raptors are coming off 2 straight losses.

I've been looking forward to this game all week, everything seems to be in the C's favor tonight.  Big chance to re-establish themselves as the top team in the East tonight.

Kyrie is a superstar.

Love the energy of KI, MS, MM, AH and TR lineup.  TR hasn't found himself this year, but hope he gets it together soon.  I don't like the grief sent his way after every mistake.  TR was ripped here last year (we remember the threads) until he got his starting gig and was very impressive.  He needs to gifure out how to come off the bench and be as effective.

Smart thinks he’s Ray Allen. How long until we lose our lead

Because he shot one three in rhythm? Lol He definitely overestimates his shooting ability at times, but that's not been the case so far tonight.

Anybody notice, mulitple times now Hubie Brown said Marcus Morris is the only Celtics averaging over 40% from 3.

Kyrie is shooting 41.2%

Tatum is shooting 40% (so technically not "over 40%" but generally not what people mean when they talk about shooting percentages).

(And Wanamaker is shooting 50%, but I could understand not counting him).

Yeah I haven't noticed as many bad shots as in past seasons.  He really is such a great play-maker that he can have a positive impact on our offense just by his passing, his post ups and dribble drives.

At some point our coaching staff needs to drill into Tatum's head to drive the ball.  Especially when his shot isn't falling.  He settles way too much.

the whole team should do this

Smart is a great defender but Leonard has his number tonight.

Wonder if Boston makes a move to get someone at the deadline to help defend him

We have plenty of people to guard him in Brown, Morris, and Semi, let alone Smart. Brown has been as good as you can be on him tonight.

But if that means trading Rozier, I might be for it.

Could have been much worse. Thankfully we had a lot of credit in the bank with a good first quarter. We’re actually having a decent game shooting wise for a change, would have been better if we hadn’t missed those threes we could have shot 50% from 3.

Looking at the box score everything is almost completely even except Boston is shooting better from three and Toronto is shooting better from two.

Fouls. That is the big reason.
It's Toronto 9 Celtics 10

Pure number of fouls doesn’t account for the context nor the momentum swings foul calls are capable of, but other than a few Lowry flops I haven’t thought we’ve been too hard done by

Boston has been terrible from mid second quarter on. Down 8-10 points. I understand being a Celtics homer but I am not sure how anyone can say they are on the Raptors level right now. Two games so far and they have been playing catch up both times.

Can they get there eventually...hope so. But can hardly get a shot off right now.

I’m sensing the team is getting frustrated with calls not going their way and it’s affecting their approach on both ends. Brad has to settle them down during this timeout. There’s plenty of time left in this game.

what's becoming pretty apparent is that the offense begins and ends with Kyrie this season.  when he's in and assertive on offense, the C's can score (they don't always unfortunately) but when he's out or being passive on offense, they're pretty much awful

At this point of the season they are better. Can that change? Sure. But all it takes is one bad quarter for them to get enough daylight to control the game and put it away. Boston cannot afford 5 or 6 empty possessions against this team

Up 4 going into the 4th. Really "putting it away."  ::)

Also, they've played 9 of their 15 games at home; we've played 9 of our 14 games away from home. I'd say that plays a major factor in the record difference.

I am saying against a good team like Toronto you cannot give them prolonged opportunities where you don't score. They will make you pay for it. Yes they are "only up 4" but that was a -6 quarter for the C's coming out of the half....was hoping to have a better third.

Missing makeable shots is compounded by the fact that they don’t get a stop when Toronto takes it the other way. They’ve been switching Kawhi and other faster players on Baynes and then they are blowing by him to the hoop

Another p--- poor start to the quarter.  I truly don't understand how we struggle so much and look like a D-League team for long periods of every game.

Most of it is us not having our best player on the floor in favor of a contract-seeking scrub.

Kyrie had to take that.

But they say Rozier makes Kyrie obsolete. Kyrie is outplaying Rozier on defense, and needless to say on offense.

Brad needs to keep going to Kyrie. He leads, and everyone around him needs to step up.

Hayward was unreal too.  We don't win this game without his contributions - from boxing out, creating deflections, steals, clutch FTs.

Tomorrow, Stevens needs to sit the guys down in the film room and make them watch the last 3 minutes plus over time.  Over and over again.  Stressing the benefits of attacking the rim.

This was Kyries best game as a Celtic, he’s had quite a few but this one tops it I think. He refused to let us lose and got 11 assists as well. And Hayward will be fine, this game will give him huge confidence. Key contributions from everyone at the death as well.

I’m frustrated with Rozier right now.  He takes way too many bad shots when he comes off the bench.  His 37% shooting isn’t a fluke.

OT was the best they’ve played since the playoffs.  Morris on the floor with starters in place of Brown. Obviously a huge night from Kyrie and 2nd half by Tatum.  This was Hayward’s best night as a Celtic too.  He made a couple of moves tonight that were completely in the flow - no hesitation - and hit jumpers off them.

Nice win.

And yeh, Baynes v Valancuinis is the greatest thing ever.  They’re just so evenly matched and huge.

Please hold me accountable for spelling on Val

Gordon had his best game as Celtic. Good decision making. Really engaged.

Morris did a heckuva a job on Kawhi in key situations late in game. The guy is basically unguardable but he really made him work in single coverage. I’m really impressed by Morris’ defense.

Far from our capabilities but wr’re Getting there. That was playoff intensity.

PS Raptors are crybabies. Refs called it fairly, let the guys play tonight. Very entertaining game.

Kawhi is a legit superstar, top 10 player in the league. He's doing it on Toronto without Pop so far this season, they are a top 5 team in the league.

Remember first meet Kawhi had 31pt on 25 shots and people here are saying he is dominating/unstoppable?

How about 43pt on 26?

(Kawhi had same number tonight, again rock solid all-star but nowhere near superstar)
Wrong. Kawhi is a superstar. Former first team All-NBA, 2 time DPOY, Finals MVP. Kawhi is one of the 5 best players in the league and one of the 2 best two way players in the league. Kawhi is a superstar.
He was a superstar because of Pop, he is a system made superstar, all those achieve is under Pop
Yeah those guys like Robinson, Duncan, Parker and Ginobilli are just system stars too. None of them had talent. It was all Pop.

Kawhi is a legit superstar, top 10 player in the league. He's doing it on Toronto without Pop so far this season, they are a top 5 team in the league.
 
No need to disparage his game. It's even more impressive that we beat a top team with an MVP caliber player tonight.
Toronto wins 65 games with DDR
If you want to insist he is superstar it's ok but i don't see any superstar in him twice we meet

The Baynes-Jonas matchup was a great sideshow highlight tonight too. They were like two wildebeasts wrestling all night.

I think Baynes is one of the only players that Valanciunas can’t just move out of the way.  Very physical matchup and Baynes doesn’t give an inch.

I love Baynes on our team.  He make take a bad 3 here and there, but he is a mountain, gives great effort on D, handles the ball pretty well...way better than I thought when we signed him.

Toronto has controlled this game from mid second quarter on. Down 13 and now tied. They are getting easy shots and are a better shooting team

He's twice DPOY and 1st team all-NBA the last 2 years he was healthy. He finished 2nd and 3rd in mvp voting those 2 years.

I think he could’ve been called for about four technicals tonight, which made him whining about Morris “punching” the ball all the more hilarious.

Can’t stand that guy, he complains about every call against him and every non-call for him.

He’s quickly ascending my list of least liked players.

Hayward: 15/5/5 (on just 8 shots) with 4 steals on a team high +17.

It was good to see him put there in OT. I think with the minutes restriction lifted we will see him be able to get into a rhythm more often. Also nice to see him run the offense for a bit. He’s a very capable playmaker.

We had a near-perfect offensive OT: 6-6 FG (all within 16ft) and 4-4 FT. Just the one TO.

We took this game seriously and it showed. We lost focus for a decent chunk of the second and third, but our start and finish was great. Like the players have been saying, need to bring that intensity throughout the entire game.

It is good to see how effective he is becoming on the defensive end with blocks, rebounds, deflections as he gets more comfortable offensively. Very positive game.

The playmaking was great to see, but the last two shots on these highlights get me a little more excited.  Just moving with ease into a shot without hesitation - and, of course, making the shot.

As others have noted, Kawhi Leonard did not look at his peak tonight.

I've long said that Leonard's game would decline quickly. I don't think he has the ball-handling or passing to be an elite player for much longer. He looked like he was lumbering up and down the court sometimes. Obviously, he is still a top 10 player in the league and made a lot of plays last night.

It's a long season. Maybe something will change.

Wasn't able to be on the thread last night.

Quick thought - they don't win the game without Hayward. Defensively he's better than I thought and has a similar basketball IQ to Horford. He made at least 3 plays defensively that I thought turned the game around. 

The steal of the Lowrey pass down 4 in the final minute of regulation and then when he boxed out Siakam and drew his 6th foul shortly after that.

We're also starting to see what he's going to bring to the offense with his passing ability.  He's slowly starting to put it together and I thought last night was his best game yet.

I actually got to watch the game on the ESPN app on my phone.  They looked pretty good to me.  They finally started to attack the paint instead of just pulling up for threes every time down the court. 

It was good seeing Hayward getting more minutes and I think he's finally getting back to normal.  I hope they continue to be aggressive and not go back to being obsessed with the three.

I saw the box score, but it wasn't a box score thing. Again, still a top 10 player, but there's something about him that seems lesser than he used to be.

Yeah, I didn't see that. Kawhi, much like Paul Pierce, has always been what seems to be a slower explosion to the basket but always picks the right line to finish it off or pick up a foul. He also bailed the Raptors out on about 5 separate trips with last second on the 24 second clock shots hitting mid range jumpers. And his shot looks absolutely wet. And he is great defensively. Kawhi sure looks like the same Kawhi to me.

I agree footey he was a beast. It's like he never missed, he was making steals like the one from Rozier and dunked it which is like a 4-point swing. He was everywhere defensively. He is a problem. And luckily for us Siakam & Green fouled out. I thought we did a decent job on Lowry (for a change).

I wonder if Kyrie has committed before Kawhi was treaded ... would DA have traded for him?
Something like:

 brown + Yabusele + Monroe ( as a filler sign and trade he would have made much more than min) + clippers pick
It’s interesting to speculate after the fact and the start of the season brown has had.
