Raptors (12-3) at Celtics(8-6) Game #15 11/16/18

[blink]

Raptors have best defense I have seen any team play the Celtics.

I agree.  Toronto is attacking us on def.  They are almost as good as we are on that side of the ball.

Guys...the first game was a two point game with 3 minutes left in the game. This game isn't over and Toronto has a lead because of a ton of calls and poor offense. The Raptors don't own us nor are they better than us. They controlled the last three minutes of the first game and have taken advantage of a bad quarter this game.

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

And vise versa. Hence 2 point game.

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.

that end of quarter play by Tatum is a prime example of his season so far.

again, when hayward is healthy this is clearly a celtics win.

good game so far, fun to watch. 

lots of time left, celtics win this one!
