Raptors (7-25) at Celtics (23-9) Game #33 12/31/24

I?m worried that Al?s age is really catching up to him. He?s had some really putrid offensive stretches this year, including today and last game.

Yeah, the issue is he'd be an awesome 6th man but Porzingis is always hurt.

Need to get another PF/C at the trade deadline. If we're relying on Horford to play heavy minutes all 2nd half + playoffs it's not gonna go well.

And now Toronto can't miss from 3

That?s atrocious baseline defense. That out of bounds play where the guy taking out the ball ends up with an open baseline three off the screen from the big on the block is like the oldest baseline play there is. You learn that in grade school lol

What a dumb sequence by Tatum. 

[Phantom255x]

What is Tatum doing?

[jpotter33]

Good grief Tatum. That?s about as bad of a four possession sequence as you can get.Doesn't look engaged out there.

Crazy Game!

[Phantom255x]

JRU3!

Those days off might have helped Jrue a lot. He looks really energetic out there and making an impact on both ends.

Horford and JT need to wake up though and make some shots. Idk what was up with JT those final few mins, went 1-4 from the line and had a few plays that make you wonder if he was drunk

I'd like to see some Drew Peterson in the second half. Besides PP there is no offense from the bench at all. 

[trickybilly]

Lol at us for having the best 3 shooters statistically. Not to mention a variety of form.

I think D Whites stroke is best. Followed by Jrue and Hauser. Special mention to Al for weirdness.

[liam]

Crap call on Tatum!

[Phantom255x]

Tatum's FT shooting today is like Shaq's career 

[jpotter33]

Jrue definitely looks alot better and less fatigued.

You have to wonder how much of the ?injury? was really a rest thing, because he?s definitely benefitted from those games off.

I think Al needs the same thing.

Derrick White does too. He's looked like he's laboring at times, I know he's been awesome shooting today but just the last week in general.

The main issue is, because Porzingis is already missing so much time usually I think it's hard to always accommodate the others.

My guess is, KP comes back Friday and Horford gets a rest on the 2nd of a B2B.
