Heat vs Celtics gonna be a blast

Van Vleet should have passed the fucking ball.....

YESSSS!!!!

Terrible shooting night... Boston won that one with balls and toughness and defense.

Respect to Toronto, they played so tough. This was a great match-up... fun to watch 2 old-school defensive-first teams.

Siakam was a freaking disaster all series long

Boston vs Miami is going to be a dogfight.

The only team in the East I didnt want to play was the Celtics.

They are a great team with a lot of grit and toughness.
Im proud of the way the Raps played but tonight the turnovers killed us.

Congrats to Boston. Its been a hell of a ride

^ That's a little harsh. Two very good defensive teams... it was never gonna be pretty.

Boston absolutely screwed the pooch at the foul line, though... no doubt.

Next stop- conference finals. Hell yeah!

Any of the Raptors shooting problems this series had nothing to do with the Celtics D.

Everyone left is a good defensive team. LAC, LAL and Miami. Boston cant be streaky offensively against better teams, we’ve seen what it did to them in past years.
yeah foul line and Kemba couldnt make an open shot

Two best defenses in the playoffs

Defense has never been the issue for Boston, it’s consistent offense. They can beat Miami but I dont see them beating the West champion

Not sure what it was they did to Siakam exactly but boy did that kid shit the bed tonight. Turnovers, terrible shots, terrible fouls. God he was awful and single-handedly lost that game for them. Not sure why Nurse didn't pull him out.

But, C's were the better team and good luck to them vs the Heat.

No disrespect to those teams on defense... but they don't have the hustle and consistency that Toronto and Boston has on that end.

LAC and LAL will sleepwalk at times... and Miami has weak links in their chain.
