The raptors are scoring every single time down the court without any resistance.
I really hope this is a funk and not a team heading in the wrong direction. Porzingis is a problem.

Jakob Poeltl should under no circumstances be waltzing through the lane for a hoop.

Perhaps they need a bad loss to get their heads back in the right place, I don't know.

I don't really love tanking seeding, that stuff often catches up to you in a playoff run.

I seem to remember being told Poeltl shooting 16/19 against us was bad luck and nothing to do with the Celtics defense. Weird coincidence.

The fuck is happening? I just assume they'll pull it together and win this but... this is a bad Toronto team. They shouldn't be losing a quarter, never mind after 3.
The eye test says their 3 point shooting has massively regressed to the mean and it's impacting everything else.

Tatum will sit, Jaylen hero ball will take over, and Toronto will extend their lead.

Tonight features a Celtics team that is ok-ish shooting but is letting Toronto get clean looks. As I noted earlier, RJ Barrett is feeling it as is Davion Mitchell. They need to put up more resistance and get some stops if they have a hope of rallying.

WTF?
Absolutely everything has fallen apart all at once.
Give guys some load management games.
Stevens might need to make a move.
