Raptors (4-4) at Celtics (6-2) Game #9 11/11/23

Dennis Schroder does NOT look like Jimmy Walker of Good Times fame.

Did Schroder wear the wrong jersey?

Go Celtics!  How about fewer early threes? Move the ball. Start to prove to yourselves that this is a monstrously talented team that can score multiple ways.  Feed KP tonight early.

Also, let’s see another solid shooting game from JB - and some love for a terrific player who is now the best player in this blog’s history to get the fast-trigger hate in the game threads (my opinion of course).  Glad we have him. 

Al should give some well-rested minutes.

Goat Head Celtics and win this game !

Goat Head Celtics, that may catch on.

I Really liked the defense last game. Not just standard switching on every pick.  I hope they keep building on that. Brooklyn did shoot lights out. So I guess that defensive scheme is a work in progress. But I think it is the right idea.

Is Lamar Stevens getting in to this game? He didn't play at all in the blowout of the Nets and Horford was out that game.  Meanwhile, Brissett can't hit shots but he and Banton get minutes.

I'm high on Stevens as a Jae Crowder-type.

Isn't Stevens on a 2 way making it limit the amount of games he can play in?

Ah. So this is why Brissett gets more minutes.

Let's go C's! Don't let your guard down. This is a young, tough team that can play both ends of the floor.

Ok, let's rock and roll.

Oh no Trent. That is a bummer for Toronto. He is their best perimeter scorer and shooter. Has struggled to start the year though.

[Vermont Green]

I am concerned about our lack of size against this team. Doesn’t seem like a good matchup.

[SCeltic34]

Attack the hoop.  Stop settling.

[jpotter33]

Two bad threes to start off with nothing else going for us, followed up by another quick Tatum three.

I'm concerned about how much we continue to rely on the three ball, regardless of how many we make.

[radiohead]

Our offense has been all threes. Finally an inside play for KP!

Nice drive by Poeltl.
