Keeping them around: the series.

Is it by design? Williams and Theis both act like guarding the paint is #1 even if it means Ibaka getting open looks and every game he nails some three's. Theis has been out at the 3 point line guarding quite a bit on switches |

VanVleet kicks his leg out and Smart gets a foul.

Weird choice by the Celtics to stop playing defense in the second half of a potential close out game.

Stevens has a challenge and didn’t use it on that final Kemba drive?

What a terrible last couple minutes - would have been nice to have Hayward in this one - wouldn’t be dead dog tired.

You cannot play any softer than Tatum down the stretch. Just a complete embarrassment.

They had so many chances to seal this game if they stepped up on D, and couldn’t do it once. Just zero killer instinct by anyone not named Marcus Smart.

Letting up 19 points in double overtime to a bad offense. But that should not overshadow how horrific Tatum and Kemba were tonight.

They need to change the rules on challenges. You need to be able to challenge that non call on Walker.

I thought we had it twice in that second OT, once we got a 4 point lead and had Brown on the fastbreak and then when Smart hit that 3. Major respect for the Raptors for coming back twice. I don't even know what to say.

Agreed about the Celtics. They had MULTIPLE chances to pull away and couldn't get that one next possession right to keep the Raptors away. |

Respect to the Raptors but come on can it get any more rigged than that officiating? Kemba was straight up hacked by FVV on the game winning layup.
Nick Nurse may be a good coach but hes an insufferable person. His whiny ass needs to be kept off the court.
I'm not scared of the Raptors at all in Game 7, refs against us, Kemba with 5 points and the Raptors barely scraped by. We got this. Raptors are good but I believe in us. Tatum has to have a massive game.

Say what you want about Tatum and his 6 TO, yet he's not the one who I don't think is ready. Two out of the last three games, when it's close Kemba Walker takes 20 shots total in over 45 minutes a game. I don't mind a guy like Brown just firing away over Kemba not shooting. That last shot and missed call would have changed things, yet maybe the one grizzled veteran I wasn't worried about isn't ready. These close games with series on the line are new to him. The pressure to win in the playoffs against a grizzled veteran team is new to him. Tatum, Brown and Smart already went to game seven against LeBron two years ago in the ECF, not Kemba though. You see it with them, they might miss shots, get TO, yet they are game to do it. Kemba needs to shoot the ball, he can make crazy hard shots and yes this is now 2/3 games where you missed or could have used Haywards offense and creating. Powell have them a big boost with fresh legs.

Kemba was better down the stretch than Jaylen - when the pressure is the highest. I’m not even a little worried about the ice running in Kemba’s veins.. would have loved to see Marcus pass him that ball at the end. |
