Game #53: Boston Celtics 91 - Toronto Raptors 111

[slaw]

Should be a fun game tonight.... the two best teams in the east go at it...

Games within the game...

OG on Taytum....Two rookies going at it ..should be great...Can OG dial it up on both ends of the floor...
Can the Raps shake loose CJ on the perimeter so he can make some threes ... Raps hitting 3's exponentially ups their chances
Will Norm... if he gets the call.. be able to stuff Rozier....and be playoff Norm instead of Nov-Dec Norm...
Will FVV and Delon get the better of Rozier and Shane Larkin...
Will JV make Horford pay inside on the offensive end
Will Kyle and DD take what the defense gives them and exploit Bostons overcommits with hitting cutters or kicking it for open 3s..
Will the Raps bring playoff intensity D and rebound the crap out of the ball...
Boston is going to press all night.... will the Raps minimize lazy pass turnovers....
Will Serge be on tonight...... Will he an Morris have an alterction....
Kyle vs Kyrie... bulldog vs finesse...
Boston @ Toronto James Williams (#60) Sean Corbin (#33) CJ Washington (#12).... who are these guys and how will the whistle go ? Will they swallow the whistle or call everything in sight....

Gotta love it....

I would add that Toronto has to be aggressive in breaking down the perimeter and attacking the paint. The games that I've seen Boston struggle defensively they haven't contained the dribble and there is little interior presence once you get by the first line of defense. It's getting by the first line of defense that's hard, though.

Boston also has a weak bench. Can the Bench Mob pressure the ball and run up the score when Kyrie sits? Those are going to be key minutes.
