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

[tenn_smoothie]

Larry Bird was the best player in the league at 22.

LOL Yall sound like Cs are down 10 points. Are they because I kinda lost concentration.

No, but they've gotten extremely sloppy. Throwing away balls, poor shots, giving up open 3s, etc.

Typical ugly patch.

Hate this 4th qtr so far

Me too.

Letting the foot off the gas...

I have to admit, if I was Brad, I would have called a timeout already in the 4th and just roasted our guys.
crank up the effort

Brad is afraid of his players.

that’s true of 95% of nba head coaches.

On the plus side, we're undefeated on the road in the bubble.

Mike

Not sure how well that bodes for us since Miami is a lower seed

I didn't realize Nurse was such a whiny B.  I've lost a lot of respect for him over this series.

I don't think roasting your guys for five mediocre 5 minutes in a game where you're up 18 and have largely played VERY hard is the right move.

maybe roast isn't the right word....encourage?

[Greenality]

Anyone else nervous?

I am))
We had a couple of bad losses in a seemingly comfortable situations even this season, so yeah, anything less than +30 in 4th is stressful

Think it's that first-year title winning entitlement

[mef730]

As bad as we've looked this quarter, we're only -2.

He worked the refs so hard that Tatum stopped getting calls so I guess he's pretty good.

I'll feel better once we get over 100.

Newsflash:

Tatum is NOT a top 10 player.

Not yet, anyway...      he will be, though...

[BringToughnessBack]

I feel good...🎼🎼🎼

I'll feel better when the clock read 0:00 and we have more points.

On the other hand, my brother was following game 3 on his computer and saw 0:00 with the Cs up by two. Sadly, it was actually 0.5...

Just got home from work...blowing them away I see. This will be a fun replay to watch. They should keep their foot down though, don't give the Raptors a sniff. They have a champion's heart. But great to see the Celtics come back after getting punched in the mouth, now they just need to close it out.
