GAME #2: Boston Celtics 101- Toronto Raptors 113 (2-0)

[The Great One]

Kawhi - 2 games 2 double doubles. How many double doubles did DeRozan had in his 9 years here?

Kwai brings so much more to the table. That said, moving on from DD.

you can't put Philly in a same conversation as these two teams. They don't have that level of maturity, patience and iq

If JV can't get minutes, how does the Moose feels?! btw Nurse beating Stevens is a nice feather in his cap.

Monroe was brought in to be the new Magloire. He should feel fine, he played his role.

DeRozan is a great player but Kawhi is a MVP type player. why are we still comparing?

This is like comparing Lowry with Curry, its obvious Curry is a much better player just like Leoanrd.

whaaaaaat? And here I'm going to watch Raptors play for $32 @ Utah in two weeks. That's some crazy pricing for the same product on the floor.

Clearly the answer is fly to some location in the US to watch them. Lots of destinations are onltv1 1/2 hours away. And great seats are way cheaper.

You forgot depth.

Utah shoots 15 for 17 from the free throw line in the first quarter against the Warriors

I watched them play the Bulls, Philly is vulnerable on offense without Ilyasova and Belinelli like last season.

Their defense is still suspect.

Gonna sleep like a baby tonight .... so nice to win a big game early

Pretty much. But it's also that versatility at that coveted small forward spot - instead of playing a perimeter guard-play trio of FVV/Lowry/Demar and potentially giving up a lot we can go with FVV/Lowry/Leonard and give up very little.

Like, in the ESPN breakdown they were asking if Oladipo is the best 2-guard in the East (he probably is). Man I'm thankful to be out of that discussion.

Ive fixed that for you

On the minus side, Jalen lost his 'bet' to PP on Pascal's performance.

I'll take it.

How long before Tim Hortons sponsor Kawhi and officially calls him Mr. Double Double?

Well, apparently the concerns about Danny Green were overstated. Small sample size, but he seems to have reverted to the Green of a couple of years ago.

Concerns about Ibaka may still be valid. We may have seen the "once in every four games" Ibaka tonight.

Leave it up to Nurse to sort out. He out coached Stevens tonight.
