by FLCeltsFan

MY NOTE:  Let the whining about the officiating begin!!  



This can either go real well or real bad (the latter seems likely unfortunately)

Probably going to stick Tatum or Brown on Norm and Kyle. Meanwhile We have no one to really match up against then defensively. Also if yesterday is any indication and we get no offense outside of those two and Boucher then this one's going to get ugly fast

Expect a Boston massacre.

I dont even care that this will be a massacre, I just want Norm to get 30+ points again.

I just want to thank Adam silver & the league for looking out for all the NBA teams except the raptors. Gives a week off to all of the other teams but decides to move up one of our games to force us into a ridiculous back to back with a depleted roster.

It's time for our scrubs to light up the Saltics. Their scrubs always go off against us.  (MY NOTE:  Like the way Grant did last night)

Usually starts out with like an immediate 20 pt lead for them lol

i always hate playing Boston for some reason

Got a strange feeling this is a W. It would be so Raptors of us to lose to Detroit but win in Boston.

if we aint down by 20 past the 5 min mark in the first, I say we won

man i could barely watch yesterdays game, this one has me morbidly intrigued

Somehow the fact that we're starting Stanley Johnson at Power Forward isn't super reassuring.

After getting blown out by the worst team in the league last night, i fully expect us to win this game because....Raptors.

I have a weird feeling about us getting a miracle W tonight. Could just be some rose-tinted glasses, but in the most raptors fashion possible, I see us getting a win hahaha.

If Theis and Thompson are starting we are going to get destroyed on the glass.

How embarrassing would it be if the Celtics lost to us lol



This game only counts if we win

I just took two swigs of bourbon...ready for this 50 point thrashing

I give us a solid 25% chance of winning, let's do this!!

Who's ready for some more pain ?

Does literally anybody use Apple Music over Spotify?

Celtics fans

Seeing as we play the Celtics, I'll take a moment to remind everyone: they pronounce "Celtic" with a soft C, their logo is a leprechaun, and they slap shamrocks on everything. They are the equivalent of a dude learning that he's 1/32nd Irish and getting way too into it while not knowing a single thing about Ireland.    What I'm saying is that win or lose, we'll never be as cringey as the Celtics.


Time to see how many points Norm and Lowry can get while we still lose

I can’t wait to not see Theis again for a year. F*** that guy.

I feel like Theis always kills us

Real tired of getting terrorized by theis

When will I get over game 7 against the celtics?

Outplayed them so far. Should be up 10.

the whole cetics broadcast are so amused that "we came to play" and play defence

Jayson and Jaylen should have rested. Brad is crazy

We would’ve blown them out if they didn’t play them

I completely forgot They had Jeff Teague

I just tuned in - we've committed 6 fouls already?

We always commit 6 fouls already against Boston of course

Can somebody tell Semi Ojeleye to get a f***ing haircut?

Semi Ojeleye is going to go Full Ojeleye on us again.

I don't think Celtics can handle Norm and Boucher at the same time. Coach should sit one of them down

Fellow ref teammate Boston Celtic player pushed norm into the ball handler of course

Norman Powell is the best player in the NBA

Payton Pritchard looks like he works at Walmart

I can't watch Payton Pritchard go off again, I really can't. He must be stopped.

Ojeleye in the corner brings back nightmares

Baynes career game incoming

Semi just ball watches in the corner he would average less than 7 points or whatever bullsh** he averages now if he was on a bad team

Second half of season Baynes gonna be great

Baynes revenge game

If we win tonight we got to play this same line up in the playoffs if we play the Cs

How do we have zero attempted free-throws?

payton pritchard's caillou looking a** better not go off against us again. kid has a dino fetish

**** OFF Pritchard!

Shut down Pritchard, win the game .

Pritchard has ascended to Gerald Henderson status of Raptor killer

**** HIT HIM ALREADY I AM SO TIRED OF GETTING LIT UP BY SOME **** ASS SCRUB  GET EJECTED BOUCHER I DON'T CARE

Up 3 despite a 10-0 free throw difference? Pleasantly surprised

Celtics fans will find a way to blame Nurse for that Tatum turnover.

Tatum is a baby.

Kyle wearing green shoes against the Celtics. Kyle never wears green shoes. Kyle to Boston for Tatum, Brown and Smart confirmed

i'm scared of Pritchard

That Williams boy is too huge

Williams screens are like the Jays arm push offs. It burns my eyes.

Jayson Tatum in that pic is the kind of guy I'd go to high school who would reject my friendship request.

So every guy at your high school

These Celtics screens are ridiculous. RWilliams doing a dance and GWilliams throwing hip checks

I am really tired of Baynes. What exactly does he do here?

Robert Williams looks like the Pale Orc from the Hobbit movies  (MY NOTE:  Wuh?  Robert Williams looks like a pale anything?  Fix your TV)

Baynes could hit the game winning shot in a game 7 game in the nba finals for the raptors and I still say he’s trash

Baynes please don't get rebounds taken from you by Payton pritchard

Little Pritchard just embarrassed him.

LOL PRITCHARD OUTBOARDED BAYNS AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Semi ojeleye always turns into curry  (MY NOTE:  For the record Semi was 0-1 last night for zero points.  This is just residual emotional trauma from the bubble)

Boucher Celtics killer

Payton Pritchard and Chris Boucher were teammates on that Final Four run for Oregon.

The curse of the double P man   Paul Pierce and now Payton Prichard


boston looking like a shell of their former selves. We can at least say we're missing our star players.

There’s a very solid chance it’s all Marcus smart  (MY NOTE:  There's a very solid chance a lot of it is Marcus Smart.  Nice to see him get props from other fans)

Boston can't handle us. We should play good teams like Detroit

boston just doesn't look like a good team

The Jays didn’t come to play and that’s fine lol. Sit out boys.

Tatum hasn’t been the same since covid

Grant Williams looks like a big baby

I Googled Pritchard and ngl he has a good looking family

Nice to see an old school big man match up for Baynes v Tristan

Norm > Kemba

Am I the only one who feels like Brown and Tatum overlap too much. They both provide the exact same thing to the Celtics and play the exact same role.

Is Pritchard’s Nick name really fast pp? Sheesh

Norm not only a buck killer but also a certified leprechaun killer now

Maybe it is the green colour

Love watching Norm bully Kemba

Lets goooo pritchard out

Trade Lowry for Kemba

bro jaylen why you even wearing a mask if you not gonna cover your nose

Can someone quickly summarize how the hell we are hanging with Celtics-minus-Smart in the 2nd game of a B2B where the 1st game was getting stomped by Pistons-minus-5-players?? (Besides the obvious "Boston sucks" lol)

Norman Powell is much better than Michael Jordan

Idk how Kemba always gets 3 shots on that call but for Kyle it's side out.

T HIM UP!!!!!!! Every time I watch this kid play he's pushing off and complaining about getting called for it...lift some weights Jayson!!!!

Look everyone. Tatum with a called push off. The turns have tabled

Tatum using that off arm on all his drives. There's a reason why his slow ass gets open...

League darling Tatum in shambles for being called for the off-arm pushoff

Is there any time that Tatum drives the ball without doing some sort of push-off?

Ref finally calling out Tatums push offs love to see it

Shove off Tatum back to his old ways

Tatum: foul on me? My dad Adam Silver will hear about this

Tatum definitely refers to Silver as "daddy" too

Has Pasty Pritchard played well against any other team?  (MY NOTE:  "Pasty Pritchard".  Now that's funny and, just like all humor, has a bit of truth to it)

For some reason Grant Williams kinda looks like the little cousin who asks if you have any games on your phone

gettin killed on the boards that was a nasty putback from Tatum though

Wow Tatum just allowed to flagrant two push people in the face cool

I hate Jason Tatum

A consistent thing about my basketball fandom is my least favourite player in the entire league.   Every year, it's (insert any Boston Celtics player).


Time Lord is gonna get a triple double in blocks at this rate.

Just keep tatum frustrated, man lets it get to his head too easily

Tatum doesn’t think he fouls or what? Stop complaining

LOL WE ARE MISSING 3 STARTERS AND WE DROPPED 70 AT THE HALF

YEAH BOSTON AINT REAL


Tatum has a punchable face

Silver and friends would have the Celtic's play the Washington Generals 82 times if they could.  (MY NOTE:
So would I!!  But, to his point, is he calling his team "the Washington Generals"?)

How is a fully healthy Celtics team giving up 70 to the Covid Raptors at the half??

Kemba Walker reminds me of that guy who shows up to pickup with all the equipment but ends up always getting picked last.

Boston at halftime gonna be scheming to kill us in the interior even further, gotta make some adjustments.

Marcus Smart might be their most important player. When he's gone they're just a completely different team.

Tatum is cold. Do not get him going.

Lmao the refs are here for Boston again can’t have us winning this one

Kemba always has these snitch expressions on his face

Kemba's weird facial expressions pi** me off

Tatum finally decides to play huh

Tatum looks like Toad from Mario   Idk why he just does


i just want to beat boston once this season lol

It's Baynes revenge game

Feels like an unpopular opinion, but Baynes is actually having a decent game. 2 boards short of a double double.

Is Tatum out as a goon tonight?

Dude this Tatum guy has got to stop, he's legit playing dirty.

Was tatum always this dirty?

Scott Foster deserves prison.

Controversial opinion but they really shouldn't be hiring legally blind people as refs...

I hate Tatum

Tatum trying to take out somebody tonight

It's really hard to watch games against Boston because it always feels like they get away with bullsh**.

Man can someone take out Grant Williams, hs up there with Simmons

I am not one for violence (mainly because I am not build for violence), but that guy has a punchable stupid face.

Can not wait to see Baynes in another uniform

Imagine we had Tristan Thompson over AB. At least you could rely on him to get you some rebounds and buckets around the rim.

Grant williams killing us like the 2020 playoffs....

Stop saying 2nd night of B2B as an excuse. Our interior rebounding a**, how you gunna let Williams (6'5) rebound over 4 raps in the paint. Ffs

This game is barely winnable now lol celtics awoken

not so hot take: celtics first round exit

So there wasn’t a foul on Johnson but Lowry fouled Tatum. The Celtics get way too many free throws for nothing

Just once I would love to see a team like the Celtics play with the whistle we normally get for just 5 or 10 games. They would lose their **** minds. Probably get ejected 2-3 times.

Pritchard getting bail out calls too now.

Both Williams on the Celtics are Raptors killers

kemba dribble like he spider man

How are Boston getting these calls

celtics fans talk about us flopping so much like they don’t have the flop god himself marcus smart

Grant Williams is a demon

Er...Celtics wanna not make their shots right now

Wth is Tatum doing? This isn't MMA

Boston got 29 free throw attempts? Wtf

unless their names and giannis antetokounmpo or ben simmons, STOP LEAVING THEM OPEN FROM 3

I hate the Celtics fans so much, especially when they booed us down in Tampa

Tatum just isn’t fair.

Why does Grant Williams have 17 points on us?

Because its Boston and we always let at least one scrub kill us

Jack calling Robert Williams 'Robin'

Lowry is wearing green shoes today. Kyle to Boston confirmed?


Why are all Boston games like this???

They pick up the intensity the second half.

Anyone else seeing these moving screens from Khloe's wife?

Mr Panic timeout Brad Stevens right on cue...lets go boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raptors feel like one of those teams Brad Stevens always has a game plan locked into. Just like Spoelstra

And the personnel with guard heavy teams.

Lowry's been straight a**

Kyle, please, just pass the f***ing ball

He uhhhh, he has. He has 16 assists

He's about to turn 35 on a back to back carrying a team without 3 starters and he has 17 assists. Shut your piehole.

Well at least they’re missing the free throws

This kind of effort would have won yesterday's game you bums

Brown the flopper

Brown getting superstar treatment lmaoooo

Jaylen Brown with the timely flop.

Jaylen Brown breathes his way to the line

Brown turned into smart tonight. Floppy fish

When did Tatum become the Refs fav

Robin Williams rose from the dead to play for the Celtics apparently

Wow Brown kinda sucks at free throws

Tatum made the hardest bucket ever

Tatum is definition of clutch. Pascal learn this!

Lol remember when Siakam and Tatum were equals

Tatum is unbelievable wow..

Another one on the refs

Love the freethrow disparity. Refs had money on the Celtics tonight.

I hope we play Boston in the first round with a fully healthy squad and a capable starting center come playoff time.

Tatum looks like the type of guy who’s your friend and then disappears when he gets a girlfriend

Bit off topic but does anyone else really hate Marcus smart?

Yep. That’s a no brained.

It is games like this I understand the #FadeForCade’s want for a Tatum :/ The Raps deserve to win but don’t have the talent.

Same old story every time we play the Celtics. None are Tatum.

Why is Jaylen laughing he played our G-League team..

Just punch somebody in the face.   I don't care.

Oh I know I did not just see a Celtics fan complaining about Lowry pushing off

If there's a silver lining to any of this, it's that a depleted Raps roster was still deadly enough that the sniveling Celtics had to flop and cry all over the court to compete.

We lost to the refs not Boston

Hope raptors meet celtics in playoffs again and crush them.

Tatum has some of the worst shot selection I've ever seen but it goes it soooo frustrating.

40 free throws is ludicrous. Boston gets every little call as the Raps get none. The Refs where keeping Boston in the game and then let them over take it.

Messing up their free throw stats at least

Man I hate the Celtics so much.

As well as some of the Celtics' role players played (and Tatum in the second half), the refs handed this game to them. That's all there is to it. We outplayed them for most of the game.

Hope Tatum finishes his career with 0 rings.

call the ghostbusters. im tirned watching this green plague kill us

I liked this loss more than last night's

Man, I really wish we could beat the celtics at least once, just for pride

Takes Baynes back Boston!

Classic Celtics game. Keep it just close enough to give us false hope but lose anyway.

death taxes losing to the celtics

Tatum is a monster. Anyone who thinks we can beat them in 7 games, needs to rethink. You gotta at least have a clutch player first. Lowry gonna run out of gas facing celtics for 7 games.
