Celtics (29-14) at Magic (21-24) Game #44 1/24/20

about time they called him for an offensive foul.

Absolutely.  The only offensive move he has is to ram the guy guarding him.  That should be called on every possession.

The Orlando Celtics fans showing their appreciation.  Kemba is a superstar.

Kemba.  So good.

Really like some of the rookie play tonight - Green and Grant

[tenn_smoothie]

Kemba still hot!

Brad has done a good job of staggering him and Gordy tonight. It'll be nice when we have our core 4 always having 2 of them on the floor at all times.

Yes, but only if Stevens adjusts the offense so that Hayward has the ball in his hands more within offensive motion. Do you think Stevens can see that Hayward is ineffective as a stand-catch-and-shoot player or even catch and dribble. Guy needs the ball in his hands just like Bird used to simply to get the offense going. Kemba is a 2-guard in a point guard's body - make Hayward your playmaker.

Remember last season when it felt like the 2nd and 3rd quarters in particular we struggled mightily in. That doesn't seem to be the case this season. In fact we seem to start them so well. First quarters could be better though.

Even this 4th quarter, an 8-3 run to start!

For most of the 1st half of the season the Celtics were the best 4th quarter team in the league.

Can you imagine this team healthy + a player like Saric (or another bench scorer) on it

exactly.  he has no moves other than bulldozing over the defender in front of him

[Surferdad]

Semi goes brick wall on Gordon

A payback call was in order from GWill’s defense on the other end.

not parting with Tacko though

[Phantom255x]

Although Ojeyele has had a frustrating first half of the season, I've absolutely loved his play lately especially on defense. This is the guy we saw two years ago when he battled Giannis on defense in the playoffs. And we saw it again a few days ago against the Lakers with him defending Lebron in spurts

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Reffing is downright ridiculous.

this is what i said earlier; gordo plays so much better and more aggressively at the point-forward position.

kemba having an explosive game: 35/1/4

gordo having a quiet but effective game: 19/11/5

[Surferdad]

I don’t blame you Brad.  The one thing that had to prevent was a Fournier 3, and they couldn’t do it. 

[nickagneta]

Stevens is livid with the refs over some of these recent calls. Williams is dribbling, sees a guy running right at him, turns to whether the hit and the Magic guy runs him over and THE FOUL IS ON WILLIAMS!!!!

UNREAL!!!!

Hayward with 19/11 and being a facilitator. But lets trade him for Drummond
