Celtics (2-1) at Raptors (2-2) Preseason Game #4 10/14/22

Why did Brogdon play so few minutes? Is he ok?

Raps just run into someone and to the line!

Absolutely---they did this last game too....these Refs SUCK--and they Tech Tatum out of the game on one of those NON Calls....Total push off.

I hope the Celtics don't have to play Toronto in the playoffs. They match up well with the Celtics and don't back down.

Lol the only team that's a proven threat to the Celtics is the Bucks... They have Giannis and he could just pull greatness on us and win.

Toronto doesn't have that

Vonleh with 6pts and 4rebs in 10mins. Jackson didn’t look too bad tonight and Kornet was a DNP. Hauser really can’t do anything but shoot spot up 3’s. Defense is mediocre at best.

[slamtheking]

watched on tape delay.  tonight's hot takes:
- Jaylen looked really good.
- good to see Tatum hit shots
- White had his best game in green

Not so good
- Smart still too careless with the ball.  whole team still has issues with not turning over the ball.
- offensive rebounds by Toronto was truly offensive to watch.   past the point of ridiculous and just plain inexcusable.  sure, Timelord figures to help in that regard but he's going to be out for a while so this team better figure out something.
- got to get more offense out of Smart and Al. 
- PP and Hauser couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight.  when they get in the game, they've got to make shots.

Lastly -- officiating was horrific.  C's couldn't catch a break and Tatum getting tossed was a joke.

Grant is useless around the rim. Would be a travesty if they give this guy $14 mil per year.

Should be dominating against the other teams scrubs. He looks terrible.

he's got to improve his ability to finish around the basket.  too easily blocked

Brogdon exited Friday's exhibtion game against the Raptors due to a sore right leg. He is day-to-day.

Well if he does get paid maybe he can just himself some better shoes.

LOL nope Toronto doesn't need that. They play the Celtics tough every time. It wouldn't surprise me if Toronto beat the Celtics in a 7 game series. Keep laughing. LOL

How? He’s undersized and has a poor vertical. This is why he’s a below average rebounder as well.

Toronto will win it all if the Refs keep letting them get away with Straight Arming their way to the basket on every drive---really ridiculous.

got to put the defender on his large backside and use his butt to keep the defender from the ball.

Grant's a wide body.  needs to put that defender on his back and push into him to take away the leaping ability to block a shot.
