Raptors vs Celtics live stream: How to watch Game 7 of the NBA playoffs online
It's time for someone's bubble to burst with the Raptors vs Celtics live stream of game 7
Raptors vs Celtics game 7 starts at 9 p.m. ET
/ 6 p.m. PT today (Friday, September 11th) on TNT. The NBA playoffs are airing on TNT, ESPN and ABC, full schedule below.
Tonight's Raptors vs Celtics live stream may prove the time-old truth that "Game 7" are the two best words in sports. Yes, the teams are returning to the court after an epic game 6 that saw Toronto stave off extinction (get it, they're the Raptors) and force this Friday night face-off. These 'bubble' NBA playoffs sure have been wild.
For Boston to not lose this series they were leading, they've got a serious to-do list, starting with hindering Kyle Lowry's performance. If Lowry scores less than 20, Boston has a serious shot at winning, as it's done so throughout this series. Their other big task is making sure that Kemba Walker isn't neutralized by the Raptors.

If the Raptors want a chance at another championship, though, they probably need Pascal Siakam to step up, as a common critique of the center is that he's had a poor season overall.
Fred VanVleet has never been a consistent member of the offense, but if he could contribute and take some defensive pressure off of Serge Ibaka, it would help the power forward's 3-point shooting chances -- and he's 14-of-27 in the series.
