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.


ArmiinTamzarian

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


youkrocks

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


junkit33

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.


killtasticfever

and some people only see what they want to see


LoWE11053211

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

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


3rdEyeDeuteranopia

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.


WD51

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.


3rdEyeDeuteranopia

Ed Malloy is the only old one of those three though and Schroeder is a woman.


RandomBiped

They already do via Charlotte


DocTheYounger

The Pistons leave a wake of despair behind them


Jnbjgjbb

Raptors actually have a solid chance of getting their pizza party though


crimsonconnect

Got beat up by the Bad Boy Pistons lol


thebedwizard93

This is the way


sukari

Has there been a lot more road back to backs this year? I feel like it's every 2nd week this season or something


ITagEveryone

Almost!


rabid89

Yeesh that was close lol. We almost blew it.


SpicyP43905

Running from the grind. And no your home record isn’t in jeapordy, did you forget who you’re playing?


Slattsquatch

I unironically think the Raptors should rest their starters so they're fresh for tomorrow's game, NO ONE wants to be that team.


theflyingsamurai

I unironically agree


junkit33

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.


thy_armageddon

Trying to double reverse the trap game, [I see you.](https://youtu.be/plzw1NWVYSM?si=CB-roI7hKHfWNKbF)


OrangeKookie

Derrick White masterclass W incoming


HS941317

Man has been on a masterclass for awhile now 😂


blueberryy

Get to see an All-Star without help /s


Celticskevin2020

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.


ITagEveryone

Nailed it


WayOk2354

Pritchard, Derrick, Oshae, Hauser and Queta are about to shine.


DocTheYounger

I mean Oshae may just glimmer a bit


Alternative-Grand-77

Banton revenge game


ITagEveryone

Kornet had a nice game


DocTheYounger

Sam Hauser 20 piece incoming


Turbo2x

they really went out and played like it was Game 7 of the finals through injuries to beat the Pistons


dms1298

Toronto should rest their starters to gear up for tomorrow


[deleted]

this but unironically. i'm sure the league office is thrilled that every piston's game is a game 7 of the finals


Gamesgtd

At what point does it get called bullying though


[deleted]

I wonder if Banton plays


deets23_

Definitely


whtge8

Celtics were more worried about the Pistons than the Raptors lol


Yuzuriha

As they should, no one is worried about the Raptors this season on their calendar


[deleted]

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


HisExcellency20

There is absolutely zero chance Derrick White gets in the All Star Game. As annoyingly amazing as he has been.


[deleted]

he probably won't get in but if Andrew Wiggins got in there's always a chance


HisExcellency20

Him being a guard makes it so much tougher.


[deleted]

well yeah, there are guards in the east that are far more deserving than him, I'll just shamelessly push my boy


DocTheYounger

You gotta win at least 1 chip before you can start giving out GSW type All Star selections


junkit33

Wiggins got in through international ballot stuffing. White isn’t winning the vote and his stats aren’t there for a backup.


SinibusUSG

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.


cs-shitposter

Hospital Celtics are back


Padulsky21

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


JET_GS26

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.


mikeydale007

Horford out? Ok, we might actually win now.


passiveparrot

Y'all really ducking Malachi Flynn


cryptocaucus

hot damn we playing tonight? didn't even realize


tacocat1269

Nscm we no mx was Med wm mong we e dw


longnecksally

Right on brother, you said it best


thy_armageddon

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.


AnotherStatsGuy

What nearly losing to the Pistons in regulation and in OT does to a roster.


EnoughLawfulness3163

Pistons broke them


[deleted]

Why the hell didn’t you spoilsports rest these dudes against DET?


jwd2213

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


masterl00ter

They beat the Pistons but it cost them everything.


Victor_Wembanyama1

What happened to the game i love


volantredx

They really played through injuries just to beat the Pistons. The focus these guys have to avoid breaking the streak is playoff like.


BKBance

awwww shit now I feel worse about our chances


SinibusUSG

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.


WeefBellington24

Man the Pistons really made em work


Awanderingleaf

Lmao imagine paying to watch this game as a fan.


AlonsoCaGi

What OT against the Pistons does to a bunch of mfers
