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

[Raps in 4]

We need a new gameplan. They've owned us 3 (or was it 4?) straight games now.

[mtcan]

Letsss gooo FREDERICO!!!!

Hopefully the guys seeing their families again lets them focus up and play better!

Mark your calendars...9 months from tonight...around the time the playoffs start for the 2020-21 season...and the birth of another baby VanVleet...God help the opponent of whatever team Fred's playing for...

[WeThe2019Champs]

Just need to make shots, easy win.

[kalel123]

A must-win game. In the bubble with no home court advantage, it seems tougher IMO to come back from down 0-2.

True test of if the change in team identity from DeRozan days was all-talk or if they still have some championship mojo left in them (hopefully). Never had very high opinion of the super-short back court and may be showing their limitation unfortunately. Sincerely hope they prove me wrong.

Game 3, 4 would have been in Boston

[BigBoss23]

I said it before game 1, Ibaka needs to start over Gasol in this series.

No more 3 guard lineups.

Also Boucher should be getting minutes at center. He is the wild card with his length that can matchup with Boston if we go small.

[edgehead411]

I think the key here will be little adjustments. I think Boucher needs to see the floor - along with Matt Thomas. Both those guys are big momentum players that can impact the game.

Other than that, the raptors started the game with such garbage. To me it looked like they were trying to force the refs to call fouls early but it just led to frustration fouls on the other end of the floor.

Siakam needs to be a factor. We have enough in important areas to beat the Celtics. Execution is everything

People don't want to admit it, but our lone win was thanks to a McCaw breakout game, no Siakam or Gasol

If only McCaw was healthy man

[TrustFundBaby]

It's just one horrific quarter that has us in shambles tbh lol

Watch Smart regress to the mean and it's suddenly a tight game again.

Honestly it gives me vibes of MIL G1 last year, when Brook lit us up. He was quiet the rest of the series because it turned out he wasn't some 30ppg scorer. Banking on the same thing here.

I agree that game two will most likely be alot closer and we got a good chance to win this game, but it doesn't give me last year's vibe at all, last year we had arguably the best player in the league and we outplayed Milwaukee for 3 quarters in game one until we blew it in the fourth.

FIFY

and yes agree on feeling just like after Game 1 loss to the Bucks in ECF last year.

smart is just one of those guys that shows up.. he's going to keep hitting stupid 3s that piss you off lol. would almost rather play hayward instead of smart.

Remember when we lost the best player in the NBA Kawhi?

Yea, we’re not winning this series.

You are correct, I agree.

[M3tro]

Feeling a win.

FVV goes for 33.

[And1+2]

Game 1: Ed Malloy

Game 2: Tony Brothers

I see how it is...

Keyes To The Game

Start Serge, More Matt Thomas and Chris, Less Gasol, And if pascal goes into his Harden Mode A quick hook before he shoots us out of the game. If he can play within his limitation it’s all good but if he goes into Harden mode you have to give him a quick hook because he’s going to shoot us out of the game.

Simply adjustment for the W

[Raptorfan2012]

Less Gasol, and less Lowry and Fred together; Tatum and Brown were having a blast shooting over Lowry and Fred last game. We really need some size on the wing spot. More Norm and TD may help with that.
