Raptors (2-3) at Celtics (3-2) Round 2 Game 6 9/9/20

[Kuberski33]

You know what really bugs me off, this one.

I mean, Tatum should have better presence of mind on that one, sure, but how was Nick Nurse allowed to do this? He's literally on the playing court. He knew exactly what he was doing here. Unless this is not breaking the rules, what the heck?

Clever, I'll give you that, but darn!

Maybe if C's started crying like Lowry, something might be called.

If Red were on the sideline - and Nurse pulled that and the refs did nothing - I think he'd have gone after Nurse. That Brad sits back and watches it - and doesn't bother even calling out the refs post game fine or no fine - he's doing his team a disservice.

Will be interesting to see if the NBA does anything about the cheating sideline move by Nurse. I mean, he called out the refs hardcore on two separate occasions after Game 2 and nothing happened, so I expect nothing to happen again.

How appropriate is that they are playing in Disney World, sure looked like a mickey mouse league with mickey mouse refs, the NBA wanted a game 7 for sure

Amen brother! TP

Hearing the postgame comments from our guys, I pity the Raptors in game 7. Celtics clearly are eager to get back at them after tonight. The Raptors talking trash got under their skin in a good way.

really? I got a different impression.  not enough fire in them.  no one mad that they played poorly.  Raps aren't going to get run over like in games 1 and 5.  it's going to be a dogfight

[Kuberski33]

It won't be easy to beat these guys in a game 7. They've got a lot of guys you'd want to go to war with - and they won't beat themselves.

If you want to win an NBA title you have to earn it. These are the defending champs, not a group of scrubs.

[Celtics Mike]

If you think Celtics were tight tonight
The pressure will be ten times worse in game 7

Brad Stevens team also blew 2 chances to beat the Cavaliers before

I am tired of the jekyll and hyde performances

Coach Stevens has to step up

Kemba has to earn his salary and show dominance on the court IN PLAYOFFS

Quick heads up guys.

Looks like instead of the usual 6:30 PM EST, Game 7 will be at 9 PM on Friday.

Definitely one of the more brutal games to watch this year...

[86MaxwellSmart]

Let's face it...we should be up 5 games to 1 right now.

TY almost accepted OT at work friday 3rd shift thinking normal 630pm. But that's a nay nay if the celtics are on

If we lose Game 7, I will forever look back at Game 3 and perhaps join Philadelphia 76ers fans of how the Raptors have broken two Atlantic Division teams' hearts like that.

If we win game 7, this will be looked back at as the series where the Celtics learned what it takes to take the next step and become legit contenders.

Yep. If we lose Game 7 to these Toronto Raptors then that means we don't deserve it just yet. I'm not going to ask for a win on Friday, I would want us to survive, because this team is going to quite possibly the biggest battle of their season.

Yeah, I just remind myself, Tatum is 22, Brown is 23, and Smart is 26. The fact that they've been competing at this level in the playoffs basically every season since they entered the league is rare. They are developing each year and still have a few more steps to take.
