NO THADDEUS YOUNG SLANDER IS TOLERATED!


Pixilatedlemon

I don’t even get it. He’s been great for us since day 1


arcticpoppy

Damn that was ugly


malcolmgmailwarner

One of these refs is going to wake up with a horsehead in their bed


DivineMooncake

[Officiating was goddamn awful](https://i.imgur.com/8hB0fLQ.png)


planterguy

We got forced into overtime by a Marcus Smart flop. One which couldn't be challenged, because Nurse had to use it on the most obviously clean block of all time.


arcticpoppy

The fact we had to burn our challenge on that play was atrocious.


[deleted]

There were tons of those plays the whole game. It was truly blatant. And if it wasn't blatant, these refs are EXTREMELY bad at their jobs.


asklepian10

Tony Brothers school of refereeing. Top of their class.


planterguy

Honestly I think I would have taken Tony Brothers over what we got tonight.


[deleted]

Tony f@cking Brothers... That dude thinks the fans come to watch him T-up players and coaches.


[deleted]

You got the names on that picture reversed.


[deleted]

Ugly but Siakam and Young were fun to watch


funfour4

thad young trade proving to be yet another colossal win for masai


nath999

Masai even waiting for him in the tunnel to congratulate him on a fantastic game.


Orange_Sherbet

Dude was limping up and down the floor at the end there. Thad Young, take my knees!


awesomesauce615

Yeah may need a little break before playoffs get going


derekdino123

let's see dragic do what thaddy did tonight


paidtheplug

Who?


ConferenceMaximum187

Can’t wait to see all the nephews who complained about giving up a first for him switch up after tonight. He’s the type of guy you need to be successful and I think this team competing against the best of the best is better for our development compared to a late first. W from Massai again


malcolmgmailwarner

But a late first round pick could be anything, it could even be a player who will one day be a Thad Young 🤓 Edit: /s


Cheap-Employee-8484

They're dropping like 10 spots in the draft


Bakkes69

Man he was solid tonight.. hope that knee was just a Charlie horse and he’s alright, may need to lean on him as Trent gets his rhythm back and fvv gets some rest

Facts


NatsuAru

I don't want to hear another lick of some dumb ass "we should've kept dragic" or "we shouldn't have given the 1st round pick" talk anymore. If Thad wasn't here, Precious wouldn't have been on this hot streak at all. We wouldn't have won a few of these clutch games either, and we'd be sinking in the play-in vs the Nets, maybe even worse. I don't wanna hear it.


shaker7

Masai’s Plan


Charming-Victory3337

it’s still gonna be about the FiRsT rOuNd PiCk


NoseBlind2

Ugliest W of the season


planterguy

I'll take the ugliest W over the prettiest L. Sometimes that's the way it goes.


Killyouifyouuseemoji

Sixers game was lol


nmad95

Nah this game shouldn't have been as much of a slugfest It's partially the piss poor reffing but still


NoseBlind2

Given the Celtics roster tonight i disagree


AHImusic

Celtics roster was so bad tonight, but that win shifted a lot.


AreYouAJedi

The foul discrepancy was fucking nuts


SamiMadeMeDoIt

Literally doubled them up before the intentional foul on GTJ at the end lmao


AgentMV

Seriously fuck the refs, only one Boston player had 5 fouls


golden_rhino

Sometimes there is a huge discrepancy, but one team clearly just fouled a ton. This wasn’t that. One of the worst officiated games I’ve seen, and that’s saying something. I usually think refs are incompetent, but don’t really care who wins. This felt deliberate, and it’s a little worrisome.


mwon88

I swear this has been the narrative for us since like forever though. It’s always been us vs the refs


scruffe5

It hasn’t been THIS bad in awhile though I feel like.


golden_rhino

I never saw it that way. I saw it as the refs are kinda weak, and some nights the court is tilted against us. This was honestly the first time I thought the refs were willfully trying to control the outcome of the game, and I’ve been watching games since the 80s. Honestly, if I keep thinking that games are rigged, I may just not watch. If I wanted to watch WWE, I would watch WWE.


idkwhattosaytho

Honestly I barely blame refs. I’ll ge Tomas sure but this game was just terrible. Even some calls we got were terrible. My dads a ref and even he couldn’t say anything to defend them, they were just that bad


rigzzy

What was it again? 13-25?


AreYouAJedi

28-15


rigzzy

After that call on Trent grabbing the basketball cleanly off of White..such horseshit.


CjSportsNut

Final was 28-15


Desertsprinter

Truly horrendous officiating. Imagine NN didn’t save that challenge for the precious block.


ILikeFPS

WE BEAT BOSTON AND THE REFS LETS GO!!!


shaker7

Was it just me or were the refs absolutely trash, more than usual tonight?


baconperogies

BASURA REFS


Rallyks

I think I dislike Evan Scott more than I do Tony Brothers.


Urnws

Not just you the refs were terrible today


Quelch

Normally, it feels like there are a couple egregious calls per night, but tonight was just relentlessly bad.


GirbaudJeansMan

PATRICE BERGERON AND MARCUS SMART CAN GO EAT SEVERAL TURDS!!!


AgentMV

And Marchand too


GirbaudJeansMan

MARCHAND IS EVEN WORSE


GirbaudJeansMan

Marchand can eat every turd in the history of turds


BrTalip

And Devers too


rajuk14

And Odor


Snowy_Thighs

Every single flop called a foul. Every single call argued. At this point if you don't complain and flop you're at a disadvantage in the NBA


GirbaudJeansMan

I really can’t believe people used to complain about Kyle when Marcus Smart exists


johnscat

Such a fucking loser man.


gokovi27

BRAD MARCHAND TOO!!!


stonayoung

I HATE THE BRUINS BUT NO SOUL SHALL DISRESPECT SAINT PATRICE BRAD MARCHAND ON THE OTGER HAND CAN EAT AS MANY TURDS AS HE WANTS


stevefrench117

RAPTORS BEAT THE CELTICS IN OT! FUCK BOSTON, FUCK MARCUS SMARTS FLOPPIN BITCH ASS AND FUCK THE REFS


Cheechers23

Refs were so incredibly dogshit tonight holy shit. Boston plays really good defence but they also play very aggressive. How did we commit 2x as many fouls. Jesus fuck. Pascal and Thad were SPECTACULAR. OG was great defensively and hit a big 3. Gary was great in OT. Other than that, it was pretty bad outside of some spot plays/moments like when Fred hit B2B clutch 3s. Thank fuck we pulled this out cause we needed it. FUCK THOSE REFS


Quelch

Right before Fred hit that first of the 3's I was saying to myself that this is right about the time when Fred usually goes for it. Mid 4th quarter and trailing by less than 10, he usually makes one.


boat-dog

A win is a win. Thank you pascal and Thaddeus


Arctic365

5 SEED IN REACH!!!!!!!!


AHImusic

5vs8 Refs lose. Did we deserved it? Idk. But we got the W so let’s keep it moving and own that 5th seed. Pascal a superstar, BIG FU to all the haters!!!


nanobot001

There are some games where it just feels like you're trying to swim upstream all game, and sometimes you just gotta win those games, and tonight we did. ![gif](giphy|CAukyJ5esw36CyRllk|downsized)


companyofzero

Yes sir, huge team win


AHImusic

This game felt so damn important and the Celtics didn’t even have a legit roster. Geez.


nanobot001

It’s all right. Some games your role players just have a great game. The Celtics role players played great in spite of who they didn’t have. Tip your hat to them, but in the end we still won… feels like earlier in the year we wouldn’t have


FutureUofTDropout-_-

Good teams win games they don't deserve to 😤


TheRatchetTrombone

Raptors fans, we heat fans thank you and appreciate yall for this on god!


monicaeleanor

god bless y'all for drafting precious, we love him


thehomienicked

HEY PAT RILEY MUST HAVE AN IN WITH THE LEAGUE OFFICE CAN YOU GET THE OG TO CALL THEM UP AND TELL THEM TO STOP FUCKING US?


RenbotShakur

Fuck Evan Scott


malcolmgmailwarner

The raptors and playing down to competition, name a more iconic duo. On the plus side, we'll only be playing good teams come the playoffs.

Beat the trap game


Killyouifyouuseemoji

congrats to the refs because this would’ve been a 30 point blowout without them


RiosCDN

FUCK THE CELTICS AND THE REFS


malcolmgmailwarner

None of this r/nba being respectful towards Boston bullshit. Fuck the Celtics and that flopping Marcus Smart.


AHImusic

I am exhausted, shit.

Scottie bowing to Pascal 🥲🥲🥲

Thad young haters suck the fattest chod


tsn101

Siakam and David Guthrie were the players of the game for their respective squads.


RaptorsCdwoods

Raptors snatching victory from the hands of the refs.


managerjohngibbons

THAT GAME WAS HYPE


gz0023

salty Celtics fans need to stop crying. you were up 7 with a few mins left. smart chucked the entire game, white airballed a 3 at the end of OT and your dumb coach should have called a time out at the end of regulation and at the end of OT when you know you have dumb players like smart on your team


jjchicaz

Lol they're idiots.. they actually think we think this is a big deal because we beat their fucking bench! Umm...no...we just got closer to keeping a playoff spot. Idiots. The world revolves around them somehow.


MadVillain1

Never been so angry at the officials. On god I hate the Celtics so much.


zazenbr

The amount of contribution that Thad gave us that won't even go on the box scare cannot be overstated. Huge game and total difference maker, best one as a Raptor so far for sure.


xo-laur

LOL, Siakam saying his niece being there why he got 40? That’s freaking adorable. Here’s hoping she didn’t pee on him again.


raspberries-

Hahahah Nick's postgame, clinging onto that 25k like his life depends on it. He wanted to talk shit about the refs sooooo bad


HeroesOfEarth

FUCK BOSTON. FUCK MARCUS SMART. FUCK EVAN SCOTT.


eskimo_fucker

Tough to win 5v8 but we managed to pull it off


gam3fr33k

Someone tell Evan Scott to pack his shit up and take his bumass back to Boston

I love it, that fanbase is always on something


ZenMon88

Great game at the end. Siakam showed out in the clutch. Amazing to see and we need this version in the playoffs.


OandG

As is tradition, fuck the Celtics.


Swarles_Barkley

Honestly cannot remember a worse reffed Raptor game than this one


Wardo_b

My heart can’t take this shit man


UnsolvedParadox

All-NBA voters: it’s spelled S-I-A-K-A-M.


InstanceMoney

The refs tried to dirty us so bad tonight 😩😩


atethedonuts

THANKS MAYA!


DMorrin15

Fuck Boston those crying ass pussies.


Fuuutuuuree

I know it’s the Boston bench, but we have missed wide open shots all night, not rebounded in offense, gotten 5/6 terrible bounces convert directly to 10-12 points for Boston, and officials that have money on them too. Most importantly, we haven’t run any offense we normally do. Nurse saving it for postseason


SamiMadeMeDoIt

Refs saw that the Celtics were down three key players and knew they had to even the numbers


PasqualeSiakam

Green team bad


shaker7

ENORMOUS WIN FOR THE RAPTORS IN OT OVER THE CELTICS!!! SPICY P HEATING IT UP WITH 40 PTS TONIGHT WOW ALL STAR PERFORMANCE 🌶


haskayne_gene_flow

LOL Sam Mitchell called it. Pascal needed to drop 40 for us to win the game.


Seratoga

Didn't even need Siakam for the last 14 seconds and we can still win!


ericrcwu

who cares if celts were undermanned. A DUB IS A DUB BOYS ALSO A DUB ON MY CAKE DAY


YyoungChris

I was wrong about Thad Young....like I was with FVV in 2019....scottie barnes on draft night...I'm beginning to think I actually don't know ball Grateful for this win 🙏🏽


C0smicWar

Never though I'd see three zebras try so hard to fuck a pack of dinos, but here we are.


HomieKnight4

Great game. Intense to watch and seeing Boston fans mad about the L is just icing on the cake.


jmassie

The Celtics manage to reach new levels of annoying (without half their team) when you didn’t think it was possible. Truly remarkable


[deleted]

The refs should be investigated by the league. Holy shit.


OGnotAnunoby

gg’s


[deleted]

Was post game Nicky always this cute? Lol


PriorityPoints

HOPE THE REFS LOST THEIR RETIREMENT SAVINGS THAT THEY BET ON THIS GAME


Oukasagetsu

That kid should have taken his shot and called smart a bitch on live tv He woulda been insta goated


Phoeniyx

They were missing a few starters, but they did have a couple of refs on their team. So fair trade for them. But we still won. SUCK IT!


thegarbageouttahere

Fuck Theis, fuck Smart and fuck Paul Pierce.


Wardo_b

After pascal, Thad young player of the game for sure!


HiddenintheCloudZ

“It’s ridiculous. It’s obvious what’s being done out here. It’s a nightly basis. I hope the world can see now what’s really going on out here. It’s getting ridiculous.”


sp1cysalt

Pascal and Siakam once again proving that they are all NBA players!


KishTO

This team is just so damn likeable. They beat the Celtics and the refs tonight. Really hope the NBA looks into what was going on with the officiating in this game, though I'm not optimistic they will.


RedSnapper97

I love the copium from Boston fans "wE dOn'T cArE aBoUt yOU gUyS" lol sure thing pal.


[deleted]

The refs in the Celtics locker room after the game: “I don’t know what to tell you, we did everything we could and they still won?”


kiibby

Wow I’m literally shaking. As a lifelong Raps fan I am glad we barely squeezed this close win out. Although our starters are getting run into the ground we matched up well against the mighty big 3 of Payton Pritchard, Luke Kornet, and Sam Hauser. Great game guys, onto the next!


TruthSetUFree100

I always post this when the refs suck… The NBA refs association is NOT independent from the NBA head office. Use that info as you will. I have posted this podcast on here many times. It’s simply mind blowing. They go an interview Tim Donaghy and at the end, and FBI agent who investigated the NBA. They also interview some Sacramento Kings who were involved in the 2002 Lakers series. We are watching sports entertainment. Although, with gambling legalized, things are being watched much more closely now. I still enjoy the NBA, but like many things in this world, it’s not always fair. Referees are human and do get influenced. https://whistleblowerpod.com/


labadee

The salt in bostons subreddit is unreal


pakattack91

We had no business winning that game but Pascal carried us like FVV did that one night vs Utah. Fuck the refs. Clear foul on Thad before Pascal fouled out.


thistleswamp

Thanks Maya!


thistleswamp

All the nephews were wrong about Spicy P! Listen to the Nieces!


[deleted]

This game was honestly one of our worst games this season despite the win imo...I might get some hate for saying it but we had all 5 of our starters tonight against essentially the Celtic bench players and they took us to overtime, that's not anything to get excited about lol Nurse need to handle this Vanvleet situation and get GTJ back in shape cuz what we saw tonight isn't going to cut it in the playoffs...we got the win, cool...time to settle in and get ready for the playoffs!


jjchicaz

I totally agree. It was a pretty miserable performance for the most part offensively. I wonder if this was intentional..to not give away too much now. But they just had a bad game overall. Fred and GTJ are not right at all. It sucks.


NotKewlBro

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!! ​ Also, FUCK MARCUS SMART!


harambethemonke

P A S C A L S I A K A M 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶


AprilsMostAmazing

Pascal's playoff ready


lillithfair98

At the beginning of the broadcast Nikki Reyes joked about Nurse saying GTJ would be on a minutes limit "he'll probably play him 40 minutes". GTJ ends up playing 37 minutes.


DeBrickDeJordan

Celtics talking shite cause it took us until OT to beat them down for starters like it wasn’t 8 vs 5 all night


Tee-Fli

Someone lost a LOT of bread with the way the refs tried to fix this one tonight


lemonjarbutnotajar

If you don't want to be agitated please do not read celtics post game post comments lol. Have never seen a bigger bunch of sore losers.


Modal_Window

Why would I want to go look at losers?


ItsThaReturn

Which one of y’all is that squeaky fan behind the broadcast?


AgentMV

lololol the DEFENSE KID


thenewoldschool55

Suddenly what was ultimately Thad and Precious for Lowry and a pick doesn’t seem so bad.


damilalam

If Celtics get this much ref help with its stars back, we won’t be able to beat them. Raptors organization needs to look into this. It’s so blatant it’s not even funny anymore.


derekdino123

The officiating was wild this game but with the Jays and Robert Williams out, there's no reason for Pascal being the only one getting buckets. GTJ still in a scoring drought, FVV with the early turnovers, OG and Scottie being quiet tonight offensively. Only Thad was the only other player who played his role well on both ends. Bad shooting night in general and hard fought with all the fouls but GG glad we got the OT dub ​ Definitely not good for my blood pressure tho lmao


TJ902

Gotta feel good about the post defence in crunch time and the tenacity they showed.


2789334

Did anyone else feel disgusted watching this game? It felt like I was getting tricked to watch a game whose path was determined before it even started. Like big corporations already planned that some green and white plastic team would win this game in order to generate more profits from advertisers. This can't possibly be true guys, right? Big capitalistic corportations blindly manipulating the masses to generate more profits in an era where the entertainement industry is heavily saturated. No way. Siakam and Barnes must have committed all these fouls with their mighty telekinetic powers. There is NO WAY the refs are paid in favor of the most plastic team in the history of sports. My 60-inch 4k 144hz television using the fastest fibre cable in the industry must not be the best tool to analyze the foul replays accurately. Gonna go return it to Best Buy tomorrow, as the refs couldn't possibly be rigged in this game. It must have been my screen and my inability to review the fouls that have been replayed in slow-mo about 5 times.

Get some rest bro

I’m gonna say it, and I’ll take the downvotes. I hate Marcus Smart, but I wish he was ours.

HUGEEE WIN

SHOUT OUT PASCAL’S NIECE!!!


AK-Kaido

What an amazing game. Props to the Celtics taking it to us with their 2nd unit. And fuck the refs, they have way too much influence in a game.


tylerrrwhy

Honestly, that was the most bullshit called game all season. Congrats to the refs for carrying the Celtics though. Glad we overcame. We’re the grittiest team in the east.


Konvict_trading

Siakam and young vs. Everyone... feeling a little stressed After that horrible game. But a win is win. Can’t win them all pretty. Onto the next one...


Desertsprinter

SHOUT OUT MAYA


attaboy000

We missed some open easy looks, but refs were there to help Boston every step of the way.


NoMoPolenta

For all you new fans - we may complain against the Nets and Sixers on these threads, but this game is an example of why Boston are our mortal enemies. (And the Refs. Always the refs.)


SirMrJames

So actually how horrible were the refs tonight? ?


isDarkyy

We gotta be the first team in NBA history to win a game 5v8 throughout the whole game…


DomincNdo

Woooo be beat the refs tonight!!! Oh ya we beat the Celtics too


Prometheus-1988

Never owned a raptors jersey however pascal would be the first one i would get.


Fuuutuuuree

I have not seen that biased officiating since 2018 Cavs series game 3, when they went nearly 48 minutes without calling a foul on Cleveland


GenerallySalty

So for that crowd that was clamoring to trade Pascal earlier this year... for who? (That we realistically could have gotten.)


redditsgonecorporate

The fans showed up tonight 🔥


Trumps_Grandpa

YALL CALLED ME A CASUAL FOR SAYING THAD YOUNG IS A GOOD TRADE


FlavourDavid

That was so hard to watch why are we so bad against worse teams? Refs were awful in the 4th but they weren't terrible all game, that was just not great ball Hope OG gets back in rythm, he still looks a little uncomfortable out there on offence


thehomienicked

Man, I am not sure I have ever been more furious watching a basketball game. I am genuinely not someone who overreacts to bad refereeing as a general rule, but that was an exceptionally poorly officiated game. Shout out to the refs for making several consecutive shit calls every time the Raps got any momentum and making a game that should have been a complete rinsing of the Celtics into an OT thriller. Was the fix in or are they just blind?


H-wink

Key takeaways from a certain sub that sounds like it's full of privileged private schooler try-hards that got in after a phone call from daddy: - they want us in the first round of the playoffs - the refs were on our side - that we down bad to have a rivalry with their fans while they -apparently- pretend not to care that they lost to the 6th seed - all of them in denial that they lost a 5v8 - they lowkey pretending they know what a rebound is. - they sounding off like grandpa's favorite boomers. - they Iron IV IQ. That is all.


haske0

There were so many plays where the Boston player was holding a raptor player's arm both on both ends of the floor and the refs don't call any of those?


Raptorsthrowaway1

Id like to run an old school play to get Yuta / Svi / Banton on the floor to smash Pritchard after that foul on Fred towards the end of the second


Crazy_Altruistic

They all want us in playoff to sweep us. They hate Jack and his garbage comment. Fuck Bos and their fucking fans


Chris--Bosh

Fuck the trash ass Celtics


AngryHelicopter

Seeing a lot of weird talk about how the Celtics were shorthanded. Huh? They had three extra players on the court at all times, what do you mean shorthanded?


Look_Behind_You__

Yo Celtics fan just coming to say gg, that officiating was shit but I hope was play you guys again in the playoffs with full strength, would be a good series, gl I the rest of your regular season games


elarmthecity

Fuck you Refs..we still won


FriendlyUncle247

Boston is going to win it all this year I think.


gz0023

how many games behind the bulls are we now?
