Holy Hannah what a game. That Lowry pass to OG was insane. Defence falling apart late with guys’ focus faltering under the heavy minutes. Gotta get useful bench minutes (please play TD in game 4 Nick).

Shooting is coming. Maybe that late game burst opens the dam moving forward.

Raps in 6.

This angle with the sweep is absolutely ridiculous.

That was an incredible angle. Thanks for sharing.

Lowry played 46 minutes. OG 45

Heroes. damn straight heroes.

That was an incredible angle. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah some of these camera shots they’re playing with in the bubble are paying big dividends.

Especially on some magic like that.

One shot swings the whe series. I was agonizing over ever loose ball, every bad call, and every well guarded fluke boston shot that went in knowing it would likely come down to one or 2 possessions.
This could swing the entire series. Coach needs to see if some small ball works, or take gasol to practice tommorow and do nothing but low post ups over and over. Then when the game starts, if you must play him, have him abuse the smaller celtics over and over and over. I dont understand why we can't use him the old fashioned way. He can do this, he used to get 20 a game this way.
Gasol takes first 10 raptor shots. If they eventually double, hes a capable passer.

The optimistic Boston fan: Fluke shot, Boston in 5. Reality: Raptors have played the celtics (or even outplayed) since the first quarter of the first game. They should be worried.

The really optimistic raps fan: the raps in 6!
its in the bag! In reality: if the raps don't make some changes, its going to come down to a dead heat, and it could go either way if any one player gets hot. Or if the refs continue to decide that tatum gets a trip to the line if you breath on him or if they continue to allow boston to hack and push, and flop on siakam.

Hey RR Family. l Haven't really followed things this series. Dad was sick and passed away last night. I'm convinced OGs shot was dedicated him.

Real sorry to hear. No question about who that shot was for.

[NeedTristanThompson]

The thing about this game is it couldnt have worked out better for the raps. Celtics were .5 seconds from being up 3-0. In there mind they probably were and OG stabbed them in the heart.
Its not often a team down 2-1 has the mental edge and momentum but you would have to believe the celtics have a pretty somber locker room right now.
Gotta step on their throats first half of next game and doubt will start to creep in big time

Gotta hooooopeeeeee Gotta hopee! Fingers crossed!!! We'll c we'll c!! Can't wait 'till Sat!!

Soooooo - when he's confident in his shot he makes it all the time???? Like when he knos he's shooting it 4 sure??

[Rudy Bargnani]

Call me old fashioned but I think switching or playing zone with 0.5 seconds left is a recipe for disaster. Man up and stick your guy challenge all shots.
These things seem to happen a fair bit where there is a miscommunication on a switch and someone gets an open look.
I'm sure Brad will take some heat for that and also the Kanter minutes which were a disaster.
I'll take it of course. F Boston!

We are back in it!!! What a great game, this win will swing the series. That pass was amazing, OG is a stone cold killer!!! I was running around the house yelling that when he hit it. lol He almost gets blocked on that shot, the whole play was amazing.

Oh 4 in a row, I can get on board with that! RAPS IN 6

Kyle was amazing last night. His drives were incredible, he just carved out space and was able to get them up. That might be one of the best Lowry games I’ve seen.

[saints91]

Serg obviously buttered his hands prior to stepping on the court, dude couldn’t hold on to a pass.

I’m hoping the 5s play better next game, and Pascal keeps progressing. We still need that big game from him.
