It kind of p---es me off that Toronto is still pressing full court at this stage of the game with this kind of lead and our scrubs in. Like, good Lord, Casey, have some respect and call off your dogs.

"Statement" game.

I like it with their team.  htey need to establish confidence against our team.  They have choked in the past so I like it.

No, let him do that. The stronger the kick in the butt is today, the better.

C's played very uninspired from the get go--Raps played like it was 7th game of playoffs...not worried.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Raptors hit 7 more threes than Celtics...

March 31st
April 4th

See if they 47% from three then.

How could we not be up for this game ?

First game against a top contender since loss @ Golden State. You say "Statement Game" ? How is this not a statement game for us ?

Celts need more offense to compete for a title. Hayward will get us much closer, but we probably need a 3-point killer at two-guard off the bench plus a big-time post rebounder/defender.

But how could we not be up for this game ?

Well, luckily our next game is after the trade deadline, so we'll probably have Monroe starting (or at least playing) next game.

I've about had my fill of Baynes. Good defender, but he's too much of a liability offensively, which we need more of right now.

The only low key cringe thing about it, is they're using us the same way lol.

I like Baynes a lot - plays hard and is at least a legitimate center.
But agree we need more offense vs other contending teams.

So peopl not gonna mention how our perimeter defense sucked this game? This game would be bearable if they actually limit the Raptors from beyond the arc.
