Toronto missing a lot of wide open shots. Their defense on Siakam been good but Toronto going to hit these open shots eventually

Yep. And I'd be surprised if they shoot like that in game 2.

Of course they do.

I literally said earlier these 2 teams might be the 2 most defensively disciplined teams in the league.

But no, I think the Raptors deserve at least equal credit for their bad shooting.

They've been throwing up bricks in this game. Hope they do that in game 2.

Great first game. Celtics are going to force Raptors to play half court offense with their get back speed on defense.

I hope they have that intensity in game 2. Celts need to keep pushing the fast break and NOT playing half court offense

Marcus Smart was 5 for 9 from distance?

It was just Boston's afternoon.

Still gonna be a series... especially with the C's being down Hayward, that hurts their depth... I think the C's are still the better team in the end, they've just got more "sizzle" than the good but low-ceiling Rap's.

We're now at about the 2 week point of what was originally called a 4 week (minimum) injury time.

So if everything goes perfect, he still has 2 weeks more out.

Another complication is that Hayward and his wife are right about to have another child, and Hayward has already stated he is gonna leave the bubble to be there. He would have to quarantine in order to return.

He would have to quarantine in order to return.

As long as he doesn't develop a craving for strip club buffalo wings, he should have the shorter quarantine.

C's kicked our ass.
Would be amazed if the Raps have another game that bad, couldn't hit a shot to save their lives today.
Nick Nurse, adjustments coming...

No way Jose! I hope the Raptors have a repeat of game one. That ain't happening though.

Might hurt more than it helps.

2 small children in a hotel room = loss of sleep.
