My guess is he'll miss a game or two anyways, but at least it's almost certainly not serious.

Credit to the raptors too for keeping it close and I guess they did limit Tatum's drives so

1 of 11 from 3 or worse?

KP should always be involved in the offense. Bad things happen when he is frozen out.

the crazy thing is he isn't playing poorly. he needs to hit those shots though, especially when things buckle down in the playoffs, he's going to get targeted, and his offense has to be an offset.

I am not worried about PP in the playoffs simply because If he struggles early Boston can easily let Jrue and White split all PG minutes. + Tatum. PP is definitely in a mental shooting funk.. But sometimes one good game shooting can snap him out of it..

It happened with Hauser last year and early this season.

Well that's a good thing cos we couldn't make our threes. And by we, I mean Tatum, KP, and PP.

They were also Smart over Brogodon too. pretty clear Smart was mid for our guards in the last two years.

JB with a solid game tonight. He smokes it with Jrue as the CP. KP with a good all around game as well. Probably should've been involved more in the 4th. Jrue made a couple of nice plays late, connecting with KP on the PnR and then getting into the post and finding White for the go-ahead 3. What a luxury it is to have guards that just make intelligent plays all the time. Even with our C-minus game we did enough at the end to get it done.

Tough game for JT. It happens. Occasionally our MVP reminds us that he's mortal. Who knew? Got stuck trying to get unlocked from 3. I will say that many of those shots really were WIDE open. They weren't bad looks at all. But he got himself frustrated and forgot what has worked so well all season and that's posting up and getting into the lane. Tough against Toronto's length on D but could've tried a little more. But love this win.

We had one really good quarter. And just had enough in last 3 minutes or so to squeak out a win.

B. Robb -

The game was played on a new court in Toronto created for the NBA in-season tournament. There have been a number of complaints from players about slippery surfaces around the league on the specialized courts and one court in Dallas was even taken out of service due to safety issues. Brown was among several players who slipped on multiple occasions during Friday’s game so this will be an area of focus for in-tournament games moving forward.

The Celtics are the only team with only two losses. The rest of the league stinks.

If Kp doesn't abuse Shruu late we don't win this game! Love what he means for us, make them look dumb for having no choice but to put any ol player on KP, who else do they have??! 5 guys can't be covered when they are this level of player!

Joe’s eyes have the same over the top ferocity and insanity that you post with.

thought tat was doing fine until he forced shots in the 4th, not all bad shots just the wrong shots and isoing. he missed shots, but he wasn't horrible or anything. MVP season still running full steam ahead! He led that bench run in the first half... well hauser needs a lot of that cred too. yall expect superhuman, when sometimes every player will have a mid game. look at embiid last game.

Who smokes the big cigar?
