So admittedly I haven’t watched a lot of Raptors games since last time I jumped on the bandwagon. But when did they forget how to play basketball?

Beginning of this series. They actually forgot for a lot of the Philadelphia series and the first 2 games against the Bucks last year, but Kawhi got them through until Van Vleet remembered how to shoot a 3.

It’s clear already who has it and doesn’t. I want Ibaka instead of Gasol.

Jack Armstrong sees the writing on the wall and is tactfully ripping the Raptors for how they're playing. If your stars are missing layups you'll lose a game 7 in the first quarter. It would be amazing if the Raptors could turn things around, but this is not good.

Yup. Gasol misses two wide open 3s, whereas the Celtics are hitting all of theirs. That's been the difference so far in the series and if it continues, they're completely toast.

Siakam still can't make a shot. You'd think he'd have done... I dunno, something, to try to at least get the layups to drop.

How the #### did Taytum make that?!

I don’t know what was with Lowrys shot from downtown. So Alan has to get those midrange shots.

Boston hasn't shot as well as they have been so far, and the Raptors starting to look okay, except for Siakam.

I mean that's mostly Serge's fault, but maybe don't stand out of bounds Siakam.

####in' A! Matty Ice early!

Boston had a bad cold streak there. Taytum is looking like he came to play though.

There we go, Siakam, draw a foul. Maybe you can hit a shot with no one guarding you.

So far the reffing has been awesome. Just letting them play. Especially when there were a few instances by the foul standards these days.

The last 5 or so minutes were good for the Raptors but it was looking ugly for a while. Those TSN play callers are over the top though. I love when they get over excited and just start going nuts.

It would be huge if we could get 10-12 mins per game from Thomas. Could just keep everyone a tiny bit fresher.

Is Terrence Davis injured? Earlier in the season the guy was a force. I’d think if they need a boost like Thomas, he could get a minute in.
