Orlando Magic (23-19) at Boston Celtics (28-12) Game #41 1/17/25

Man, I don't know what we have to do to get JB back on the same page defensively but this ain't it.  It feels like half of the good shots we allow start with poor help defense on JB's part.  And White isn't much better tbh. 

He looks like he brought better effort tonight but he's still kinda hurting us.

I don?t know if there?s truth to it but the rumor is that the potential buyers of the Celtics want JB to be traded so the Cs get under the apron. This may be bothering JB?

I've loved the offense till that three miss by JT. And then he comes back and makes one.
Keep it moving Jayson. 

Magic staying in the game despite their terrible 3-point shooting.

Yeah.  I can do without the heat check travel double-step-back three.  Love the open kickout corner three though.

Are we watching the same game? Aren't we up 10 and playing super efficient offense while getting rammed by the refs?

I mean Orlando gets every call and they call nothing on them

Cole Anthony getting where he wants on offense is annoying

This is what we've been asking Joe to do. Shoot less 3 when your 3 pt shooters go cold.
When they regain their shooting form then it's alright to shoot more 3s again.

Man, I don't know what we have to do to get JB back on the same page defensively but this ain't it.  It feels like Jaylen's poor help defense is the cause of half of the good shots we allow.  And White isn't much better tbh. 

He looks like he brought better effort tonight but he's still kinda hurting us.

To be honest, he's never been a great off-ball defender and has regularly got caught ball watching and losing his man, though he's made up for a lot of it with his on-ball defense. But for whatever reason these issues have been exaggerated of late.

He just looks off altogether on both ends.

Dear JB

Find your game. Immediately.

[Goldstar88]

I like how the offense looked in the first half. Good stuff!

[liam]

Tatum had KP wide open at the end of the half. He just has to take the shot. He needs to stop doing that.

[Phantom255x]

Don't like that at the end. KP and White were open for a corner 3 if Tatum hits them quickly. Instead he airballs a stepback 3

[Atzar]

Good half for the most part. 

Didn't love the last shot.  Wanted to see JT go to the rim where he was killing the Magic.  Honestly may have just been tired after playing the whole second quarter though. 

Good to see Jrue knock down a couple of outside shots. 

[Neurotic Guy]

Good half. Good offense. Keep it going. Feels like the lead should be larger with Magic shooting poorly from 3 and Cs shooting well.

[Phantom255x]

Curious to see the 2nd half rotation. Really hope it's designed so JT plays most, if not all the 4th.

It is, but you can?t let him have a 3.
