Celtics (22-6) at Magic (18-12) Game #28 12/23/24

[keevsnick]

Losing the three-point battle to a Magic team that's terrible from 3 is not ideal. 5/24 from Boston vs 8/24 from Orlando.

Celtics are getting carried away with post ups this game. Space, drive, kick. That's your game.

Orlando allowed to hand check

Boston lazy on offense making stupid decisions. Outscored by 15 in that quarter

[Atzar]

It's somewhat disappointing to me that White, Jrue, KP, and Pritchard can't cobble together something resembling a competent offense when the Jays are resting/out.  That's a lot of talent, but they're nonetheless almost completely reliant on Tatum or Brown running the show. 

Not the first time that's been a problem for us this season. 

[blink]

Da Silva... gonna probably put up 25 on us because of course 

well we seemed to give them a lot of energy there by al our stupid plays.   Allowed them to get back in the game.

Anthony, da Silva, Queen, Isaac someone is going to get lucky and go nuts on us

Celtics so lazy tonight. Quit at halftime

[celticinorlando]

5 guys standing around watching

[jpotter33]

Marc Davis is awful.

[celticinorlando]

Awful basketball

[Phantom255x]

We're really missing JT's playmaking abilities out there

[celticinorlando]

Absolute no show after halftime. Shameful performance vs a god awful team.

[blink]

we are just getting manhandled when we have the ball. 
how obvious does it have to be for them to call a foul on Orlando?

[Roy H.]

22 point swing since halftime.  Ugly.

[celticinorlando]

Cs about to be down 15. This is just like last year in Orlando. Got up big and then laid a turd in the second half.

[jpotter33]

Anymore Tatum slander on here/Twitter/etc. should be banned. You clearly see how much we rely on him every time he?s out. Clearly the engine of our offense.

[Atzar]

This may just be the Magic's night with some of the shots they're hitting, lol.  Guys like Anthony Black and Jonathan Isaac are hitting threes.  Multiple threes that rattle around every part of the rim before dropping in. 

Meanwhile we just can't crack their defense.  Credit to Orlando, everything we do is difficult and contested.  It's HARD to bring that effort for an entire game but they're doing it.
