For the Raptors and the Celtics, a date in the post-season has been a long time coming.
These two teams have the longest playoff streaks in the league, with Boston at seven years and Toronto at six. In that span of time, despite a lot of desire from each fanbase and thanks to a confluence of factors, they haven’t crossed paths.
Well, wait no longer. And while there won’t be anyone in the seats for the Eastern Conference semi-final starting tomorrow night, there’s still plenty of atmosphere and excitement around a Raptors-Celtics series.
