Raptors (7-4) at Celtics (11-2) Game #14 11/12/17

Two things:

Celtics length and quickness wreaks havoc on teams.

Tatum still has a bad habit that he showed at Duke:  he receives the ball and then stops while he reads the defense.  It allows the defense to set and wastes valuable seconds.  He's a willing passer once he gets moving, so he's not a ball-stopper in the Melo sense, but it's something to watch as he develops.

He will make faster reads as he develops.

We have just 4 points in just over 5 minutes.  Need to find consistency when Horford is out.

[Phantom255x]

It's impressive how even we have extremely cold stretches, we are still in games... even vs. good teams.

[CelticSooner]

This is horrible offense.

[jpotter33]

What a finish by Smart! Sounds strange to say that!

[mr. dee]

This team is really starting to look like 2004 Pistons. Elite defense and good enough offense to get through teams.

This is horrible offense.

they are getting good shots earlier on. but missed them. lately, not so much in getting open shots. CBS needs to draw up something else.

[Vox_Populi]

Bench unit was apparently 1-11. That's not going to cut it. At least the team always plays defense so Toronto never built a large lead.

[positivitize]

We're taking way more shots than Toronto. If we can keep it up, our percentages will average out and we'll pull away from them. Gotta keep it up.

[SCeltic34]

Nice play call by Brad.  Just a genius with ATO plays.

[jpotter33]

Soft call.

[mr. dee]

6 pt straight by the raptors after tying, ugh.

[cltc5]

2 straight minutes and no parachute drop.  I think Lp is ok for now

[jpotter33]

It's so annoying listening to Lowry complain on every single call.

[Atzar]

Smart still can't finish worth a ****, but he has improved a lot at getting where he wants to go on the court. 

EDIT:  And just as I say that, he gets a ball poked away.
