GT: R2G2 Celtics (1-0) @ Champs (0-1), Tuesday 5:30 PM TV: SPORTSNET ESPN Radio: TSN RADIO 1050 TORONTO

Powell needs to come out looking to kill. We really need him this series.

[LJKO]

I'll just pretend Game 1 don't exist because their head wasn't in it mentally aside from OG and Ibaka. Anyways pay them back by blowing them out

Expecting Nothing from Pascal and if he does something then it's a bonus. If he ever wakes up we will win this series (Doubtful)
Expecting Lowry to not play bad 2 straight games
Expecting FVV going bounce back from his poor shooting
Expecting Playoff Pow Returns
Expecting Gasol and Ibaka lineup be played more
OG did great and Expecting him to continue to lock down Tatum and Kemba next.

I know everyone is feeling down from that Game 1 loss but remember at the end of the day we are still the Champs. Don't let this loss break your spirit

Have you watched Lowry in the bubble? He's been worse than Siakam. I don't get why he's getting a pass. Lowry needs to step up big time. I have way more confidence in Siakam than Lowry.

I'm not giving Lowry a pass either but no way is Lowry worse than Pascal right now. Pascal needs to FK'ING STOP SHOOTING FROM BEHIND THE ARC AND GO ON ISO WHENEVER HE HAS THE BALL. Trust the damn Pass and go play his damn inside game which he got his 1st basket + and'1. Pascal should be abusing Celtics insides and the reason he's getting double team because he wants to camp behind to shoot 3s

[LoveMyRaps]

I expect Nurse to start Ibaka this game.

I wish we got tested more in the Brooklyn series. That sh*t felt like pre season basketball and I think it messed us up.

[True North]

Fred looked like pre Fred Jr Fred in yesterday’s game . Today we found out his family had been quarantining in Orlando. So close and yet so far. Maybe getting to be with Fred Jr will have that positive impact once again?

We got this

Whelp Celtics Good Luck Against FVV tomorrow

[bape_lovers]

FVV's kids are with him now, lets hope this give him the energy

[fbalmeida]

Win.


Time for restoration.

[Syd-TK3]

Fred vanvleet Senior will show up tomorrow
Yesterday it was just Fred vanvleet

[True North]

Looks like the players from both teams got through yesterday’s games relatively unscathed

[TrustFundBaby]

Gasols inability to score whatsoever is a huge handicap now that we don't have the best player in the league anymore

And his post defense is irrelevant vs Theis. This is just not his series, he needs to sit. I would start Ibaka

They switch onto FVV and take away the 3. FVV already can't drive, if their length is stifling him, he is useless out there. His strips were good though. I'd start Norm for some needed size

They did fantastic on Tatum to start but he started to get his later in the game. I was questioning the small guards on him but I guess Nurse loves it

[DonDoolie]

We lose this series if we dont start covering the corners better. Also need to replace marc with ibaka in the line up. Gasol is way to slow on close outs and can't recover fast enough to stop theis.

Other notes: pascal stop shooting, lowry stop playing like a moron, og still usless outside of a couple of plays and fred needs to stop thinking he's Michale Jordan just because he played good against a g league nets team

[Nocturne]

I hope Siakam was in the gym practicing his jump shots and releases around the basket. He had so many awkward missed shots near the basket trying to post up a smaller defender where he tried to lean closer to the rim.

[B-Ball Freak]

Lets go boys gotta bounce back now, it's an absolute must that they don't come out flat again, it's only game 2 but they gotta come out with a sense of urgency...c'mon Raps get this W.

[B-Ball Freak]

I expect Nurse to start Ibaka this game.

this please

1) Gasol's on court DRating was 100, the defense was much worse without him on the floor. I thought he provided good help, but was mostly useless on offense. Serge came in drilling shots, but he also made two big defensive mistakes right off the bat that led to buckets. That's sort of what you get with him now, and he's at his best when he's being physical. Loved that he slammed Theis onto the floor, but he needs those 2nd and 3rd effort plays to wear the Celtics down. Didn't see much of it.

2) Fred was taking the same shots over Williams that he was taking over Allen, but nothing was falling. I don't mind the switches, he's smart enough to know what to do with them and Williams isn't as smart as Allen. Let's see what happens in game 2 here before the panac.

3) Lowry on Tatum worked because Tatum's handle is high and Lowry can scare him a bit, plus Lowry is stronger than him and can't get knocked off balance. The worry is that Tatum just gets comfortable with turnarounds, but I'd mix in smaller guys on him for now.

We got this.

yeah one practice should fix it

[MixxSRC]

Maybe this is where the story ends
