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

[Chief]

Is Tacko suited up?

Nope, still in the concussion protocol

We could have really used him tonight

Did he hit his head on the rim?

[ozgod]

Theis has a left ankle sprain, won't be returning.

Newsflash:

Jaylen Brown is our best player.

Robert Williams is our best center.

Tatum is our most overrated player.

As Kungu said on Twitter, Tatum needs to slow down.

I think Celtic fans need to adjust expectations on Tatum.

Need a halftime CStrong assessment -- I missed the half.   Box Score looks like very good half for Jaylen and a good 8 minutes for Bob.   Stats look less flattering to Jayson and Kemba.   What's the real story of the half?

C's played pretty well.  def effort is there as a team.  Jaylen was really aggressive about getting into the lane.  We had 9 steals and got a lot more shots up than Toronto did.  We are cold as ice from 3, and Toronto has hit some 3's.  Kemba still hasn't found his range / shot and is pressing.

Thanks - TP.   Rough start for the year from deep.

No but he hit his head on the ceiling apparently...that's how he got his concussion. True story!

Good because he was getting killed out there. Brad’s rotations were dreadful.

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?

Don’t know if they can call a foul there, but if it was a foul it’d be an offensive so change of possession but no shots.

Weren't they in the bonus?

Yes, they were in the bonus...I guess they can only overturn the call, not make a new one even though that was an obvious foul by Gasol. So if the call is overturned it's a jump ball...

That's a pretty annoying way of doing the challenges. I can honestly say that I'm not a fan if the challenge rules - they don't do enough to be worth the added time delay

Is Tacko suited up?

He's out under concussion protocol.

right back at ya!

[The Oracle]

Off. reb. 12-3 and steals 9-2 in Boston's favor.  That's how you get up 15 more shots and have the lead when you shoot incredibly poorly.  Now can we make a few buckets in the 2nd half.

[ozgod]

Theis has a left ankle sprain, won't be returning.

Forget what I said, he’s on the floor 

[Phantom255x]

After having a 4-18 night on Wednesday, Kemba so far in the 1st half is 1-9.

I mean, I know we have other issues, but YIKES. Hope Kemba can snap out of it in the 2nd half.

Worse - a ceiling at the Aurbach Center. You would think we would make everything super tall after Fab Melo got concussion by a door frame...
