Celtics (0-0) at Raptors (0-0) Round 2 Game 1 8/30/20

Tatum and GWill with back to back great defensive plays!
Push the lead back up!

What a way to end the quarter! The Raps were threatening to cut it to single digits, but that steal by Tatum was huge and the Kemba 3 was a dagger. It was a rocky quarter, but we actually extended our lead by 1 point!

[Ogaju]

So, today is the first time that I realized that it is "VanVleet" not "VanFleet". I've been saying it wrong for years lol Am I the only one?

Nope!

[RPGenerate]

This is what happens when you play an actual team, Toronto.

[Roy H.]

Those last two plays were giant.

[Ogaju]

Ugh, finish this quarter strong and go into the half up 15, guys!

You asked and they answered  with a two point bonus.

[Atzar]

Loved the way we closed that quarter after some really sloppy ball to let them close the gap some. 

Hope that knee doesn't stiffen up on Kemba during the break.  He's playing great ball on both ends and we need him as close to 100% as possible. 

Keep playing.  Toronto isn't creating a lot of great looks in half court.  Keep getting up into them. 

[mobilija]

Roy!!
What happened? You have negative TPs!

It seems like CBS thinks Kanter is unplayable in this series. He even opted for G-Will over him for the last minute of the 2nd quarter.

GWill played great D to set up that Kemba 3

[hpantazo]

That was an excellent way to respond and close the half.

Tatum has to get better at responding to Toronto's defensive schemes, he's not reacting quickly enough to doubles and is making poor passes. He has to adjust and improve on that going forward.

[radiohead]

What a great first half! 24 more minutes.

[Somebody]

Massive plays at the end of the quarter to extend our lead!

Tatum the most out of sync Celtic
Theis a not to distant 2nd

Yep, he managed to stay in front of VanVleet in the pick n roll. No way Kanter would have done that.
