12/29 - Clap the Raps

[JCizzle]

This is very disjointed. Bench guys for a reason, I suppose.

 

[OnWisc]

Suboptimal.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Still liking Jaylen for the ‘over’ on points tonight

 

[Just a bit outside]

My goodness JB!

 

[OnWisc]

Jaylen is playing for his next contract. With the Dodgers.

 

[Just a bit outside]

PP missed the shot by a mile but what a great reset to the corner to get that shot so open.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Clamps

Yeah, that was excellent team play there.

 

[OnWisc]

 

[tims4wins]

If the Cs get this to 15-20 the Raps may make a business decision to save up for Detroit

 

[tims4wins]

Great offense

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Toronto’s limited offense and Celtics quality defense are a nice combo

 

[The Mort Report]

That was a much better looking end of Q play

 

[JCizzle]

That pass from JB to end the quarter made things move

 

[jmcc5400]

What a great quarter. Defense on a string the last couple of minutes and Jaylen making the extra pass on the other end.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This quarter the Celtics bench had more heart and grit. Can they continue to out intangible the Raptors in quarter two?

 

[oumbi]

That was an amazing quarter by JB and his sidekicks. Let's see how the team fares when JB is on the bench.

I'm not sure why but this always gets a chuckle

 

[mostman]

What a fucking pass.

 

[benhogan]

activating the Princeton weave

 

[Just a bit outside]

White and the Whites!

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Four white guys and White lineup.

 

[jmcc5400]

The ball movement. Swoon.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

My favorite lineup of the season right now. +/- going to be off the charts!

 

[oumbi]

Hauser tells JB to hold his beer.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Tatum seems to be wearing a faux-fur blazer with fluorescent paint grafitti on it.

He can get away with that

 

[Kliq]

White and the Whites is the kind of charming moment you only get to see due to back to backs. And some people think the NBA needs less games.

 

[jablo1312]

1st 2 possessions of the quarter are some of the best passing sequences you'll see

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Zvi's limitation is that he is absolutely a sieve on D

 

[ifmanis5]

The passing is great. Kornet is finishing well.

 

[OnWisc]

I'm not sure why but this always gets a chuckle

I just want an orange headband. And an early 1990s style poster with Q and Bobby Allison.

 

[Kliq]

So much scrapiness! So much fundamental basketball!

 

[InstaFace]

Curious, why? I take this as good news that he only needed a game. Especially after last night and a bunch sitting on the back to back.

The previous specific 24 hours were the difference between a back injury and being fine enough to play in an NBA game? When back injuries can linger and aren't something to mess around with? Just seems like a cover story for "we wanted to give Jaylen a game off at some point, so why not Detroit". If he was actually hurting (and remember, he finished the Laker game, didn't even come out), I'd have expected weeks of recovery.

 

[Just a bit outside]

This is embarrassing fir the Raptors. Just getting chewed up bu this lineup.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

-2 for the White Sale lineup. Stay with it Joe!

 

[PedroKsBambino]

This is embarrassing fir the Raptors. Just getting chewed up bu this lineup.

Agreed. It‘s not clear where franchise is going, really….they have three guys as pending FAs (Siakam, OG, Trent) and other than Barnes it’s not clear they have anything else that will be part of their next good team. Or even what the theory of that team will be - the “long, active guys all over” approach has not worked.

there is some embarrassing fir on the Celtics bench

 

[OnWisc]

This is embarrassing fir the Raptors. Just getting chewed up bu this lineup.

Long way to go. It was embarrassing for the C’s at halftime last night and that scrip got flipped like Nat Moore.

 

[OnWisc]

I just realized that was Tatum. I was wondering why Ben Simmons was at the Celtics game.

 

[SteveF]

Toronto has to rebuild. Lots of teams want dudes and need dudes (Warriors, Lakers) and are pretty desperate because of timeline.

 

[Spelunker]

The passing!

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Toronto has to rebuild. Lots of teams want dudes and need dudes (Warriors, Lakers) and are pretty desperate because of timeline.

Yeah, just unclear they realize that.

OG and Siakam would each bring back real stuff, and Trent and Poeltl may as well. It’s the right chioce

 

[OnWisc]

Well that was awesome.

 

[OnWisc]

The way they’re moving the ball around and hitting wide open shots the only things missing are a bucket of confetti and a ladder.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Sam Hauser is a defensive specialist

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

HAUSER

Ah. I didn't delve that deep. Didn't think they would need a cover story to give him a day off. But thankfully he seems fine.

 

[mostman]

Goaltending is suddenly hard to figure out I guess.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Jaylen's back has miraculously healed

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Who is Dick Lipe?
