You guys act like our defense was trash and it was borderline elite. How many blocks did we have? Gotta box out and get the boards though. Our main issue like the previous games was purely turnovers

How about AG + Facu for Tatum ?? Sure we could find something to make the money work :wink:


Maybe for Gallo

losing this game is not an option, especially on our home floor.

Get out to an early lead and don't let off the gas pedal!


must win. if we lose, I propose the whole board takes a calendar year off to take up some calm hobby that's good for the blood pressure, like knitting, or cocaine.


I agree

Great first half, the second half got away. Ime is getting used to things but he’ll be a future COY candidate. Keep your heads up high and show some of that green pride

That’s true. The double OT from the night before was energy zapping!

Toronto has a star in the making with Scottie Barnes

Yeah. You need an Ad Blocker.


I have one but maybe it's not a good one. AdGuard. Content blocker is installed for all websites. Still have the issues.

Rob has looked bad outside of his shot blocking. He has been outplayed by both centers he has gone up against so far.

Brad's initial run with the Cs was great.
Last 2 years weren't that good, cause players seemed to ignore him.


We were 1 game away from the Finals 2 seasons ago (the bubble year).

real fans don't give up on their team.

especially not when the celtics came back from down 25 in the 4th quarter to beat a nets team that was much better than these raptors


The team gave up on it's fans.

Don't get me excited. Hopefully, a talented, 6'9 or taller PF that can score, defend, rebound and has leadership qualities.

Raps lost their opener to the bum Wizards. So they had a point to prove last night. Hopefully this wakes Boston up as well.. as I’m sure some of the players were riding high off their performances against the Knicks.
