The Raptors and Celtics are in a life-and-death showdown in the division semifinals, and guard Fred VanVleet said in an interview today about being forced to meet his opponent in the park:
"Personally, the players I used to like, now I hate them. I didn't want to see them, I didn't want to see them, I didn't want to talk to them. So yeah, it feels a little weird, but that's the environment we're in. ”
The Raptors are currently trailing the Green Army 2-3 and will be eliminated by losing one more game.
