Raptors (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) Game #2 10/25/19

[Atzar]

I feel like the Celts are outworking / outbodying the Raps, but the Raps are 9-21 from deep and the Celts are 2-13. 

Simple as that.

Pretty much.  In the modern NBA, you can play pretty poorly and still win if you hit your threes.

This is not good...

Don't you mean "Theis" is not good?

Too soon?

Too soon or not, you get the tp!
Lol,  no you're right

[azzenfrost]

Oof that was...

Celts have gotten a good game so far from both Tatum and Brown.

If they can get either Hayward or Kemba to show up in the second half to go along with those two, they will be in business.

Kemba definitely but I thought Hayward’s been having a decent game so far

Nice work Brad!

[blink]

what did Brad challenge?  the foul?

[Atzar]

Good challenge. 

[ozgod]

So what’s the deal with this challenge. If you win it they jump the ball? Shouldn’t the foul have been called on Gasol and we get 2 shots since they are over the penalty?

[mr. dee]

The challenge rule is one of the better things this league has done.

[hpantazo]

Brad Stevens with the save!

I believe that was the first ever successful coaches challenge in the NBA

Walker can't continue to shoot like this. I feel good about this game.

Brown looks dangerous from about anywhere on the court. His ball handling is much better.

[CptZoogs]

what I want to know is why when Brown starts off on fire, brad pulls him after 6 min.
I don't ever get it when he does that, to anyone who has a hot hand.

The hot hand doesn't exist. It's superstition.

what? lol

It. Doesn't. Exist. Does that make it simpler?

Nonsense

The hot hand is a real as thinking wearing your favorite socks makes you lucky.

I feel like this is a troll post.

There have been academic studies on the subject that have shown no evidence of a hot hand.  However said studies are not without their critics.

Exactly Why does Stevens not want to give Rob Williams more minutes ? Every time I watch him, he seems to make plays.

I guess he is too tall for Brad & Danny.

I mean he's the same height as Tatum, so clearly not

He was in foul trouble on Wednesday, so we'll see how much he plays tonight (especially with Theis and Kanter not playing)

Williams is 6-11, Tatum 6-8 ? no ??

Guess they are both 6-8, I stand corrected. I could have sworn R. Williams was a 6-10+ guy, a pure center. Guess it's his long arms.

Eh, his game has been decidedly meh. Active on defense, but 4/13 from the field.

We’ve missed a lot of easy looks, Kemba is colder than Antarctica, and we’re up 1. That’s a good sign.
