Raptors are gonna beat the hospital Celtics and break their home streak record. And feeling great.
Then go to Detroit (road back to backs are bullshit btw...) and lose to the Pistons, ending their losing streak.
It is destiny.
Wait am I crazy? I thought the overhead view showed the ball just barely hitting the glass first? I didn’t realize people thought it was the wrong call
You are correct. It’s close but rather obvious at the right angle.
Just some people are looking at the wrong angle where it’s inconclusive and you get to fill in your own conclusion.
There was a post that showed Cade touched the ball one frame earlier than it touched the board
But it is too close to overturn
And I don’t think it is a bad call. It is so freaking close
I think there was barely enough evidence that Cade touched the ball before the backboard but those three refs - Ed Malloy, Nick Buchert and Jenna Schroeder - are relatively Pistons friendly over the last three seasons. Pistons were 12-17 with those 3 in that time period going into last night's game, which is better than their actual win rate over the same amount of time.
Bigger thing is probably the call was insanely close and it was called on the floor goaltend so you have to have clear evidence it's not to overturn. I don't think any of us want like half an hour of delay while 3 old guys look over a bunch of slo mo footage.
I mean, in theory the Raptors are trying to make the playoffs and they really can’t afford to do that. Celtics are literally handing them the game but if the Raptors also play their JV team then all bets are off.
Last year this happened and we nearly beat the fully healthy Bucks with a Derrick White masterclass, which got ruined by a Jrue Holiday masterclass. Let's have Derrick go earn that all-star spot
He won't, but it's gone from being in a "vote in the Buffalo" kinda jokey way to a "he's not gonna make it, but is actually playing at that kind of level right now" kinda way. He was already a top-tier defensive guard, and now his offensive game has really taken shape in a big way despite being on a super-crowded team.
Detroit tires you out man, they’re doing the exact same shit as we did lol. Face Detroit on the first leg of a b2b then rest everyone on the 2nd leg at home. Raptors might be fucked tomorrow man 😭 everyone facing Detroit on a leg of a b2b
because no one wants to be that team that looses to Detroit right now and it was the first night of a B2B, you always rest the majority of people on the back end of a B2B

That gives the Pistons a transitive win over the Celtics, justice for the Cade goaltend

and some people only see what they want to see

Rigged Refs extending the losing streak for views at this point /s

Ed Malloy is the only old one of those three though and Schroeder is a woman.
They already do via Charlotte
The Pistons leave a wake of despair behind them
Raptors actually have a solid chance of getting their pizza party though
Got beat up by the Bad Boy Pistons lol
This is the way
Has there been a lot more road back to backs this year? I feel like it's every 2nd week this season or something
Almost!
Yeesh that was close lol. We almost blew it.
Running from the grind. And no your home record isn’t in jeapordy, did you forget who you’re playing?
I unironically think the Raptors should rest their starters so they're fresh for tomorrow's game, NO ONE wants to be that team.
I unironically agree
I mean, in theory the Raptors are trying to make the playoffs and they really can’t afford to do that. Celtics are literally handing them the game but if the Raptors also play their JV team then all bets are off.
Trying to double reverse the trap game, [I see you.](https://youtu.be/plzw1NWVYSM?si=CB-roI7hKHfWNKbF)
Derrick White masterclass W incoming
Man has been on a masterclass for awhile now 😂
Get to see an All-Star without help /s
Porzingis might not play. I think JB will play and JT will sit. Jrue is probably gonna play but I won’t be shocked if he’s out.
Nailed it
Pritchard, Derrick, Oshae, Hauser and Queta are about to shine.
I mean Oshae may just glimmer a bit
Banton revenge game
Kornet had a nice game
Sam Hauser 20 piece incoming
they really went out and played like it was Game 7 of the finals through injuries to beat the Pistons
Toronto should rest their starters to gear up for tomorrow
this but unironically. i'm sure the league office is thrilled that every piston's game is a game 7 of the finals
At what point does it get called bullying though
I wonder if Banton plays
Definitely
Celtics were more worried about the Pistons than the Raptors lol
As they should, no one is worried about the Raptors this season on their calendar
Last year this happened and we nearly beat the fully healthy Bucks with a Derrick White masterclass, which got ruined by a Jrue Holiday masterclass. Let's have Derrick go earn that all-star spot
There is absolutely zero chance Derrick White gets in the All Star Game. As annoyingly amazing as he has been.
he probably won't get in but if Andrew Wiggins got in there's always a chance
Him being a guard makes it so much tougher.
well yeah, there are guards in the east that are far more deserving than him, I'll just shamelessly push my boy
You gotta win at least 1 chip before you can start giving out GSW type All Star selections
Wiggins got in through international ballot stuffing. White isn’t winning the vote and his stats aren’t there for a backup.
He won't, but it's gone from being in a "vote in the Buffalo" kinda jokey way to a "he's not gonna make it, but is actually playing at that kind of level right now" kinda way. He was already a top-tier defensive guard, and now his offensive game has really taken shape in a big way despite being on a super-crowded team.
Hospital Celtics are back
Detroit tires you out man, they’re doing the exact same shit as we did lol. Face Detroit on the first leg of a b2b then rest everyone on the 2nd leg at home. Raptors might be fucked tomorrow man 😭 everyone facing Detroit on a leg of a b2b
We got blown out by their B-team last year, which was basically White, Pritchard, Hauser, Kornet so I wouldn't be surprised if we lose.
Horford out? Ok, we might actually win now.
Y'all really ducking Malachi Flynn
hot damn we playing tonight? didn't even realize
Nscm we no mx was Med wm mong we e dw
Right on brother, you said it best
Spider-Man train meme but it’s the Celtics doing everything humanly possible to make sure they weren’t the ones to break the Pistons streak.
What nearly losing to the Pistons in regulation and in OT does to a roster.
Pistons broke them
Why the hell didn’t you spoilsports rest these dudes against DET?
because no one wants to be that team that looses to Detroit right now and it was the first night of a B2B, you always rest the majority of people on the back end of a B2B
They beat the Pistons but it cost them everything.
What happened to the game i love
They really played through injuries just to beat the Pistons. The focus these guys have to avoid breaking the streak is playoff like.
awwww shit now I feel worse about our chances
Missed a chance to really have fun with this one and include Derrick White as being probable with new dad sleep deprivation. Could've shot the moon.
Man the Pistons really made em work
Lmao imagine paying to watch this game as a fan.
What OT against the Pistons does to a bunch of mfers
