Ya, this is another must win. The last two have been tight, I’m still waiting for the game where everyone is clicking. Hopefully tonight is the night!

OG definitely gave us some life.. but this is a critical game too. Huge difference from being down 3-1 to having it a 2-2 series with momentum on your side. Hopefully someone gets an efficient shooting night tonight (well other than OG who's been awesome).

Nice to see all the negativity and "we're gonna get swept" get killed off in one glorious swish .... what would the comments have been if OG had clanked that one or been blocked? You gotta love sports

Love that fred quote.
They did fuck up,going to sweep them like we swept the bucks. Went from being up 3-0 in there minds to having to claw for there life. we have been here before. Celtics crumbled last year after jumping out to a lead vs bucks. They did lose a locker room cancer but they gotta be thinking about that series in the back of there heads.
Championship heart about to shine

Lowry was awesome getting to the rim. Kept the Raptors in the game until the shots started falling in the 4th. Need to mix up the offence like that. Points in the paint have been a Toronto plus overall, Boston doesn't have rim protection. They do have Tatum/Brown trailing guards to the rim sometimes and they can stuff our smaller Lowry/Fred drives, but it still helps overall.
Boston now has Brown defending Siakam post ups one-on-one, those aren't scoring and aren't collapsing the defence. The Raptors need to stop even trying, let alone clearing out the side and standing around watching. Get Siakam going with his easy buckets, put him in the p'n'r, look ahead for long passes (Lowry got him a couple last game), etc.
Mostly keep doing what they're doing, they could be up 2-1. Just keep putting in the effort and play with some confidence. Those plays where a guy changed his mind last second on a layup attempt or three point attempt - Boston's length and disruptiveness was getting into the Raps' heads and you become your own worst enemy at that point. Can't let that happen. Play with confidence, do what you do, execute your stuff.
Siakam's defence on Tatum was very good in game 3. I like our chances if you're forcing Brown or Kemba to be their best player. Don't let Tatum score 34 in rhythm.
Zone has been really good, keep mixing in different zone looks. Throws Boston out of sync.
Stop pressing on the break off turnovers. Raptors forcing things when Boston gets back - it's a turnover, but if you're 5'11" and going 2 on 3, then maybe pull up. Raptors having trouble stringing stops/buckets together to make runs. Be patient off the turnovers.
And most of all - let the fucking 3's fly! If this team were shooting 35-40% from 3, they'd have just won the last two games by 15-20 points each. Everything else is more or less working.

Norm is going to make a difference in one of these games. Is Game 4 the one?

Shots are starting to fall. Here we go. Raps in 6.
Play Terry, Nick. You need a real bench look, and Terry is the key.
