Reigning champs Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics are fighting for a place in the Eastern Conference finals. However, to everyone’s surprise, the Raptors went down 0-2 in the series. But they were 2019 champions for a reason and made a stunning comeback by winning back-to-back games.
After Game 5, the series tilted once again in the favor of the Celtics as Jaylen Brown put on a show after a poor game 4 performance. Also, Kemba Walker has been performing at a high level for the Celtics throughout this postseason run.
Now, prior to game 6, Raptors guard Fred VanVleet shared his thoughts on his opponents and the situation in the NBA Bubble. He said:

“Personally speaking, from what I know I like the guys, but right now I hate ’em. I don’t wanna see ’em, I don’t wanna look at ’em, I don’t wanna talk to ’em. So, yeah, it’s a little weird, but it’s where we’re at.”
Fred VanVleet on having to see Celtics players on campus: "Personally speaking, from what I know I like the guys, but right now I hate 'em. I don't wanna see 'em, I don't wanna look at 'em, I don't wanna talk to 'em. So, yeah, it's a little weird, but it's where we're at."

As VanVleet said, it’s all business, come playoff time. It doesn’t matter if players are best friends off the court, but when they start playing, there should be only one goal in their mind – to win the game.
VanVleet has been terrific for the Raptors ever since the team’s last-year playoff run. This year, he has earned a starting spot in the stacked Raptors rosters and has lived up to expectations. In the 2020 postseason, VanVleet is averaging almost 20ppg while shooting 40.9% from the three-point line.
