Getting obliterated by Mo Wagner lol. This team is not serious this afternoon.

Brissett frustrates the hell out of me.  Everything about him looks like a quality NBA player except for the fact that's completely incapable of putting the ball through the rim.  He just can't do it.

Can't expect guys who don't get consistent minutes to give you much. Of course we have a coach who plays 8 guys plus maybe Kornet even when they're up by 25 on teams.

Yeah, Joe plays too tight.

NOW the incompetent coach wants to call the timeout to curb the run - when it's close to out of reach now.

Get him out of Boston. Biggest misstep of the offseason. Cassell would be so much better for this team.

I guess 3 seconds is just not a rule anymore.

[PAOBoston]

Disgraceful 2nd half. All on Joe absolutely ridiculous not calling a timeout during that run

This is silly. While I agree a timeout should have been called at some point, the coach can only do so much. Today seems like it’s more about the players and executing that the coach.

C’s are getting killed on the boards. Orlando is out rounding Boston 37 to 25.

[jpotter33]

37 - 18 in the second half after Joe decided to gift them a huge run without any adjustments or anyting to make them feel better about themselves.

It's only November. Joe has plenty more time to tick off Wyc and co and force a change.

[liam]

Wow...

[SCeltic34]

Embarrassing.

[obnoxiousmime]

I agree with the no timeout criticism, but it's also because the Magic are a good team and their depth exposes our bench, especially with no Porzingis and Holiday.

Also, even when the Cs were winning, the Magic clearly were playing with more intensity. They really want this game.

[Who]

Wow, went away for 10-15mins and it went from an even game to down 10-12pts.

[Atzar]

if a guy like Mo Wagner is killing you, you just aren't playing hard enough.  That's the only way he can beat you:  by playing harder. 

[PAOBoston]

That timeout really helped set them straight…not

No, no, no…If Joe would just use his magic timeout wand the C’s would be up double digits right now.
