Celtics (2-2) at Raptors (2-2) Round 2 Game 5 9/7/20

All midget team out there - Red is watching and can't believe what his beloved game has turned into.

Cowens and Russell were both 6'9" centers!

That was when PGs were 5'9...lol

Tiny was.

Cous and Tiny were both taller than Kemba

Crazy non related fact- all of our players other then 3(gh,kw,ek), only played for the Celtics in the NBA. I doubt there other teams like that.

Not by much.

I had told myself before the game that I’d only feel confident if we were up 25 at halftime.

Still shaking.

As frustrated as I get with stevens, he did make some offensive adjustments from Game 4.

The 3pt shot makes no lead safe.

Pretty decent half 

Great minutes from Wannamaker

[footey]

Brad Wannamaker was excellent.

Jaylen found his mojo.

Kemba was Kemba.

Third foul on Tatum bad time. He was starting to feel it.

Theis 3rd foul was clearly not on him and why didn't Brad challenge it?

[jambr380]

Looks like they finally shook the hangover from game 3. I think most of us expected/hoped for an effort like this in game 4, but it is so great to see focused, determined basketball from this team on both ends!

[Greenality]

Is it just me, or do some Raps players look a bit gassed

They do. They are playing crazy big minutes .

Their bench looks gassed too...
IMO it's too early for fatigue, they had a week after Nets, 4 tight matches shouldn't be enough to wear down for pros they are. I will credit our great D first, Raps players just look lost out there.

[Greenality]

Apparently Hayward is in the bubble!

He's been quarantined for several days already.

[hpantazo]

If we win the 3rd quarter, this one's over.

If your Nick Nurse, do you make adjustments now, down 27, and risk giving Stevens a glimpse of your strategy plus probably still lose the game, or do you wait for game 6?

[Jvalin]

Theis has been absolutely phenomenal! He can literally defend anybody! I remember one particular example of him staying in front of Lowry on the perimeter. Amazing stuff! Lowry couldn't get past him! This is the benefit of having a 6'8 switchable Center.

Wow TP for that info. We really have a homegrown team here, very special in today's NBA
