Celtics (9-2) at Raptors (5-6) Game #12 11/17/23

[SparzWizard]

Yeah we definitely need more than just an 8-man rotation. We need starters to get some rest...avoid big minutes.

Celts on pace for yet another 50+ three-point attempt game.
Do not see that approach winning a title - especially for a good, but not great, as well as streaky, 3-point shooting team.
Not that Mazzulla cares, keep jamming that square peg in there Joe.

JT with a rough game tonight.  The difference.

[obnoxiousmime]

Porzingis' lack of physicality is hurting them this game, and the "Holiday has to guard the toughest opposing PF" strategy isn't working as much today against Siakim.

[PAOBoston]

Cs lacking focus tonight. Took Toronto lightly and seem stuck in mud in the 2nd half.

[hpantazo]

We have to go inside more often early in the possession and then kick it out if it's there. We keep settling early for threes and its killing us.

[Silas]

Time for D!!!!

[Yuckabuck33]

I just don't understand why the Cs are playing down to their competition again and struggling to best the Raptors. I mean, we traded Marcus Smart, and I was reliably told he was the problem.

[obnoxiousmime]

Jaylen is killing me.

Well he is leading the team in scoring on 7-11, 3-5 from 3. And 4 assists.

Yeah, he's had a solid shooting game overall, it's just some of the boneheaded decisions or dumb TOs. Choosing to double only to give up a 3. Fouling a guy for no reason, stuff like that.

Obviously it hasn't been a great game for a lot of guys on the team, though.

Slumming around with the craptors

[PAOBoston]

Stop shooting 3s for the love of Christ

[Goldstar88]

Tatum needs to go to the rim. Take a couple of free throws to get a feel for his shot again.

[Celtics Mike]

why doesn't Tatum drive to the hoop instead of chucking 3s

[Atzar]

Clutch shot from White. 

[Silas]

Thank you D White!
