I couldn't watch the game, in a medical rehab in NJ strengthening my almost 89 year old muscles. The Raptors have everyone out because of injury but the Celtics win in OT with a 3 pointer from Tatum. Amazing. RAPTORS haven't won an away game this season
They rank 30 out of 30 with 2 wins in 14 games. They almost beat the Celtics who took 62 3P shots and missed 41 of them. Thank you Tatum had the Celtics lost, it would have been embarrassing to lose to them.

I thin they are learning the hard way that as the champs they're going to get everyone's absolute best every night. There are no easy ones when everyone is gunning for you. Learning that will ultimately be good for them.

Is he a PG leaguer then ?I'm not sure if this is funny or sad......I still say that the LeBron, Bronny and the Lakers deserve all the criticism they get for how this whole thing was handled.
Cavs win today they are 15-0 playing Celtics here Tuesday
Mitchell not playing today (rest)

I feel bad for the Raptors.......hell no I don't. 
from sportsnet.ca:
Jayson Tatum travelled moments before making the deciding three-pointer at the overtime buzzer to give the Boston Celtics a 126-123 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night, the NBA said.
Tatum moved his pivot foot with 3.4 seconds left in overtime and should have been called for travelling, the NBA revealed Sunday in its Last Two Minute Report.
The NBA publicly releases reports of officiated events — calls and notable non-calls — when games were at or within three points at any time in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime.
The uncalled travel was one of two missed calls on the final possession.
The NBA also said Toronto's Davion Mitchell should have been called for a foul against Boston's Jaylen Brown with 7 seconds remaining. Had that been called, Brown would have gone to the foul line with the score tied at 123.
Play continued after Brown was knocked backward, with Tatum already having the ball in his hands on the right wing. He shuffled his feet — that was the uncalled travel — before stepping back and shooting over Toronto's Ochai Agbaji.
Time expired as Tatum's shot made its way to the basket.

So had Brown got the call and made 1 point game over, Celtics Win. Had Brown got the call and missed still tied. Now to Tatum. Referring in all professional sports is bad today. They are human, make mistakes. Boston gets the Win, move on. Raptors had only won 2 of 14 games so does it matter? It's what if and what if and what if. These things happen, move on. This time it favored Boston.I feel bad for the Raptors.......hell no I don't.

This is so true, in every sport. Others teams are always playing their best, when they are playing against the present Champion. If they want to beat anyone it is always the Champs. However the Raptures? They haven't won an away game this year to date. They have only won 3 of 15 games this season. The Referees didn't call a foul on Brown just before Tatum committed a foul that wasn't called before his winning score, so there was a lot of intervention at the end. EverettMike, I am just glad the Celtics won thus one. Thanks for pointing out what you did.

I am excited to watch the Celtics play Cleveland tonight. It is not on my TV at the rehab so I am forgetting about strengthening this almost 89 year old muscles and leaving so I can watch the game. I assume we are without Holiday, that will hurt. These guys put up a lot of twos, Holiday's defense will be missed. Celtics, play defense and play the board. Go Celtics

Jaylen plays 12 minutes in the 4th QTR and scores 7 points. I am just nit picking, in the first 3 QTRs he played 25 minutes and scored 10 points. Fabulous performance. Terrific performance from Horford, Pritchard and the star of the night Mr. TATUM.
Al keeps aging and going. He is so happy to be playing, contributing, and winning.
Good game Celtics.

Help Help
I know that I am critical and nit pick Jaylen Brown when I shouldn't sometimes, my bad.
Help, in the game against Cleveland, after why is Joe Mazzulla speaking so highly about the dual, Tatum and Brown?
Tatum did everything he could to pull off that victory.
Help, what did Brown do? I watched the game. I followed the stats. I my opinion, he doesn't deserve credit for offense or defense in that game.
BTW, I know that Joe must stroke the ego or both. That I understand and maybe that's all he was doing.
What do you think?
C'mon on EverettMike and others talk to me. Thank you vert much.

I was only able to really pay attention to the end of the game but in that short time I saw Jaylen make some fantastic, all star-level plays that helped them hold on.
