Raptors (17-18) at Celtics (18-17) 3/4/21

I honestly wish Kemba would stop launching that end of half 3. He seems to have at least one of those every game. It just ruins his already iffy percentages.

BUT, I am really glad that he came to play tonight. Because Tatum and especially Brown seem to have already checked out.

Except for Kemba, the bench is totally out playing the starters.

[radiohead]

The Raptors are undermanned, without their head coach, and playing the second night of a back to back. For some reason they have more energy than the Cs. This might be a classic case of underestimating your opponent, though one could argue that the Cs have no business underestimating anyone with how they’ve been playing lately.

I haven't watched much of the 1st half, but I just saw a Timelord block, followed by him running the floor for an alleyoop dunk.
Time to get Timelord more minutes.

All in good Time.

Refs just giving the Raps points at the end of that half. Both calls were so OBVIOUS!!! Yet, incompetent refs make the bad calls and won't be held accountable for such gaffs

I think the ref consultant on TNT the other night said that based on instant replay now, they probably only got 50% of their calls right

Can you imagine any other ref in any other sports admitting that half the time they got calls wrong? I mean umpires calls on balls and strikes are horrendous but no ump.or ex-ump would ever admit they were terrible at it

the way the Raps have shot, that's more likely the reason they're leading than anything the C's are doing

Knowing our end of quarter offence, if it wasn't him doing it it'd be JT or JB.

Would like to see us end quarters with PP and Timelord in the pick & roll.

The NBA is a couple of bad calls removed from the WWF.

[Indocelts]

If there is one thing that TL can still improve, is not to block the shot out of bound. He should learn how to block that enable himself or his teamates to gather the ball.

I just got back from work and tuned in. How the heck did we give up 70 points in the half to an undermanned Raptors team???

Yeah, Steve Javie said that thing about 50% right... Sad....

Grant came in and hit two threes and a layup
