Celtics-Raptors Game 7--Whatever It Takes

[boxosII]

every play is gut-wrenching

 

[benhogan]

Kemba Walker has suddenly turned into Bill Campbell

 

[luqin]

3 years left on Kemba's deal. Not great.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Put the ball in Marcus and Tatum’s hands or lose the game. Easy as that. Hope Kemba gets it back against Miami.

 

[djbayko]

I have no idea what Kemba was doing there, but SMART!

 

[Ed Hillel]

MARCUS ONLY NOBODY ELSE

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Kemba gives up on the play while the ball is still live.

Please Brad, please just take him out and leave him there. He doesn’t have 10 points combined in Game 6&7.

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

Did Kemba’s dog just die or something?

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Kemba looks so unnecessary.

Yeah it’s not a great sign when every offensive possession I’m like “maybe Kemba should just stay in the corner and not touch the ball this time”

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Shut up he hacked him

Ok, now tell me how he doesn't flop every play on D.

 

[mwonow]

Kemba...

THat's NEVER a good ...

 

[reggiecleveland]

3 guard lineup never works, Brad keeps going to it.

The bench sucks
Who can he put in Semi?

 

[djbayko]

Did Kemba’s dog just die or something?

Kemba shot it.

 

[JCizzle]

Raptors' bench has outscored Boston's 20-7.

Has Timelord gotten an alley oop in like three games now? A couple offensive putbacks come to mind, but nothing designed

 

[scottyno]

You guys don't want kemba or wanamaker, you know they have to put 5 on the court right?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Marcus Smart straight up isn’t losing this game.

 

[pappymojo]

I think I want a Freedom 36 Smart shirt.

 

[Humphrey]

...and replace him with who? Wanamaker has not played well either.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kemba fucking sulking and looking at ref instead of getting the rebound last possession.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Increase the lead, fall asleep. Rinse, repeat.

That's exactly how it seems to me as well.

 

[bankshot1]

Smart seems to have that balance of urgency and controlled clutchiness with a touch of madness

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Kemba is psyched out. We may still need him

Wannamaker is too---we just have to survive a couple more minutes of him. I like him for what he is but he's lost out there tonight.

 

[tmracht]

Kemba shot it.

Woulda missed. Couldn't be true.

 

[benhogan]

Kemba shot it.

but he missed

 

[radsoxfan]

Having Hayward would be so nice, none of this nonsense bench, another playmaker, way less pressure on Kemba.

 

[dhellers]

So sit Kemba and bw, move jb to the 2, and play grant?

I love Kemba, but he needs to sit.

 

[Nator]

Marcus Smart is not one of the names most people will tell you about when discussing best players, but I bet he gets some of the most respect from his peers league wide for playing winning basketball.

 

[Average Game James]

You guys don't want kemba or wanamaker, you know they have to put 5 on the court right?

If by some miracle Foster doesn't screw them out of a trip to the ECF, Hayward looks really damn good with Smart-Jaylen-Tatum-Theis...

 

[RedOctober3829]

Gotta ride it out with Kemba and trust he’ll eventually snap out of this slump.

 

[BringBagwelltoBoston]

Please Brad, please just take him out and leave him there. He doesn’t have 10 points combined in Game 6&7.

Without Hayward there's have no one else though. Who's the 5th? Don't say Wannamaker.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

The offense looked awful when Kemba was out.

He is playing awful but when he is not in there they are just standing around. At least he is moving.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Ok, now tell me how he doesn't flop every play on D.

ITS NOT THE REFS

FUCK

THERE ARE BAD CALLS

JUST PLAY

End of timeout

FUCK

 

[mwonow]

Kemba shot it.

Then it's safe, shot was blocked or an airball

 

[JCizzle]

Marcus Smart is not one of the names most people will tell you about when discussing best players, but I bet he gets some of the most respect from his peers league wide for playing winning basketball.

A bit like Rondo. Remember when Kobe took him out to breakfast in the finals?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Gotta ride it out with Kemba and trust he’ll eventually snap out of this slump.

Agree. Ride or die.

 

[scottyno]

If by some miracle Foster doesn't screw them out of a trip to the ECF, Hayward looks really damn good with Smart-Jaylen-Tatum-Theis...

If kemba is still bad by then and hayward can go full minutes sure, but we aren't there yet

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Smart seems to have that balance of urgency and controlled clutchiness with a touch of madness

He plays with, uhh, reckful abandon

 

[TripleOT]

Kemba will come around this game. So will Wana. They both just need to make a play

 

[Captaincoop]

Smart and Theis have impressed me this series. Everyone else has some work to do.

 

[JCizzle]

WHY IS SEMI SHOOTING THAT

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

I hate VanFleet

 

[BringBagwelltoBoston]

I guess it's Semi and he just turned the game around.

 

[ifmanis5]

I feel sick.

 

[GreyisGone]

We have Semi shooting threes they have VanFleet. Not ideal.

 

[djbayko]

Woulda missed. Couldn't be true.

but he missed

Then it's safe, shot was blocked or an airball

You guys are good.

 

[luqin]

I wish the celtics had guys who can finish as well as FVV and Lowry.

 

[Preacher]

Fucking 3rd quarters.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Semi is so dumb

Never ever passes up a shot no matter the situation

 

[BigSoxFan]

Real great job again, Brad.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

One team gives the ball to their best players, the other runs pick and pops with Semi Ojeleye.
