Raptors-Celtics Game 3 ALL-DEFENSE Breakdown: How Toronto saved their season with lockdown D & OG 

OG was amazing in this game. Even without the game winner, he was astronomical in the win. OG has been the most consistent player this whole series

Shoutout to Lowry for another classic performance. He looked amazing in this one from wire to wire, and did so much on both ends to get this win. FVV with 25 points as well, and even Siakam had a good game despite his first half offense looking rough. Gasol, despite his 3pt shot leaving him, has looked really solid defensively in G2 and G3. And OG...he was cool.

Their defense has not failed them in this series, but their shooting percentage has been AWFUL. Not sure why they feel more rushed trying to take those mid-range and three point shots, but the ones they normally sink are just bouncing off the rim. And credit to the Celtics, they have attacked Siakam and VanVleet, taking away their strengths and keeping close coverage on them, although I keep seeing a number of reach-ins and defensive fouls that have not been called. And that frustration is leading them to make bad plays trying to draw the foul as they go to the rim. Kemba has been able to *just set his feet to take some of those charges, although I'd say some of them would have been blocking fouls if these games were being played outside of the bubble. Game 4 everyone is going to be coming out swinging, and the Raptors have GOT to start making some of those wide open shots that they've been taking and missing. They were able to force the Celtics into 6 consecutive turnovers and 0-9 from three in the fourth quarter, which kept the game within reach, but the last second heroics are not the best way to close out the win. Get those rebounds, limit the turnovers, and try to get out running for the fast break points. Don't let Boston dictate the pace!

Good to see siakam still hasn’t lost a step on the defensive side of the ball despite his offensive struggles. Hopefully the momentum he created in the second half carries over for the rest of the series

The defense has been good this series minus a few mental lapses. It's the offense that's struggled vs the Celtics all year. For some reason they can't hit a shot.

matt thomas team defence has improved a lot & I'm gonna keep an eye on it. as a man to man defender he get beat of the dribble but he use to look lost in zone coverage. not he is becoming a lot better at rotating to the open man, closing out, and filling the gaps. if norm is struggling we should give him more minutes at the end of the 2nd quarter to see if he could be a spark plug for the team & generate some offence.

Ibaka, Thomas, Watson, Rondae & Powell need more minutes Celtics couldn't handle all those defensive bodies. Raptors in 6ix! 💪🏾💯🏆#WeTheNorth

Great breakdown.

My mom said after that Daniel Thies dunk the game was over, but I told her to have faith

Great vid as always! If I could offer some feedback, I believe your thumbnails are a little too similar to each other. It makes me wonder if I've already watched it, so if each one had some uniqueness, I think it would help your channel get more views, which it deserves! Maybe start adding text to the thumbnail? I'm not too sure how to help on this though, best of luck!

Great to see Matt Thomas is improving his defense and not looking so lost. Can be a game changer in the next series or even finals if we make it that far

Thank you for this. I am so impressed by their rotations and decision making. I learn a ton from your vidoes.

Gr8 breakdown. High level stuff!

Love This Channel. Lets Get Into It.

Great analysis as always. What are your thoughts on the restricted rotation? What are your thoughts on Matt defence in the first half and do you think will see more catch and shoot shots for him?

Siakam was so much better than the box score said in the second half going from a -3 to a +12??? 14 second half points. Lets hope he gets into a rhythm soon

Yes, thank you, I mentioned on your last post that I was surprised you didn't talk about the D, I guess I should have held my horses. Big game tonight. Your editing and transitions are great, great content for a Raptors fan. Peace.

Would love if you broke down Miami heat’s defense

We were at real sports bar on Thursday guy, do you know ho crazy the place was?!? this series is easily going 7 games unless raptors just shutdown the celtics for 6 like last year east conf. The momentum has changed, raps going in todays games on fire. Kyle lowry going off, fred and pascal will make shots we should make. let's put this away and beat MIAMI. RAP champs two peat

we have to win today!!! that last shot meant something!

Can't wait for your game 4 !!!

KYLE LOWRY is just...different.

And now the series is tied! :)

been waiting for this. also commenting for algorithm

Wow Gasol been playing paint defense than i realized. I do feel he hasn't been the best when switched out on kemba but perhaps he's still the better center to close games with.

Love the breakdown of all these defensive plays. The hilights that you don't see on the hilights.

Great breakdown. Keep grinding, fam. Subscribed

This really tells us true team doesn't need a super star to make a cluch shot. It's all about team efforts.

Yes! Back at it again!

My biggest takeaway from this is that Toronto has great rotation and help d

everyone raps fan know kyle only gets better as the series progresses, lets hope he keeps this up

Imagine, If Giannis coming to Raps? NO one can't stop them.

Love these videos man. We're right back in this series!!!

Great video as usual. Super underrated channel.

These refs are so biased and they are killing our momentum.. Raptors should be up 3-0 right they are literally keeping the Celtics in the game.

Bro fam where the Celtics' breakdowns as well; yes the raptors are great but please break some Celtics' defense as well like split action/ against end of game floppy v zone

I hope they give OG a lifetime contract

How do you think we should shut down kemba

You should add up Miami's defense video

This was such a high energy game

These breakdowns are so good

Great insight 2much

Always so good 👍

감사합니다

What abt game 1 &2?

Gasol shouldnt be out there chasing a guard, he is too slow, they will try that match again and again.
