Celtics (2-0) at Magic (0-2) Round 1 Game 3 4/25/25

11 points in the 3rd? thats high school garbage.

wow joe needs to be grilled for this

yay keep jacking up dumb threes instead of getting high % shots

they can't even drive.  it's just make bad passes around the perimeter or dribble the air out of the ball

10 point halftime lead and now just giving the game away with terrible offense.
That run at the end of the half and Tatum's hot hand may have been the worst thing that could have happened because Pierce just starts jacking up contested shots. The ball stops when it hits his hands. Sometimes he is as dumb as his partner, Brown.

I know injuries have played a part, but I'm not liking the start of the playoffs for us so far even with a 2-1 lead. It's reminding me more of 2023 than 2024, even though I know we had Game 2 letdowns at home the first two rounds last year

[slamtheking]

The Cs are clearly intimidated by the Magic's physicallity. They're afraid to drive the basket, pushed around easily, then start to play selfish basketball.

refs allowing Orlando to mug them on every play but they still need to push the issue

[Goldstar88]

JB does that at least once or twice a game.

Hauser is so useless

[Phantom255x]

15 points so far in about 17 minutes of the 2nd half. YIKES

[SCeltic34]

Celtics getting outscored by 20 so far this half.  Against a young, offensively challenged team.

PP has been worse than useless this game

[Who]

Banchero's physical power is incredible. 6-10 260lbs. The guy is bigger than LeBron.

Overwhelming power and size on the drive.

[angryguy77]

Not over yet, but the nest 3-4 minutes will decide.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

HAUSER IS COMPLETE HOT GARBAGE

[Phantom255x]

Not over yet, but the nest 3-4 minutes will decide.

It's over

[Who]

Not over yet, but the nest 3-4 minutes will decide.

Agreed. A few good minutes and they get the win.

None of this last quarter and a half will matter.

I know the defensive scheme isnt to put Hauser and Pritchard on Banchero right?? It seems like they voluntarily switch to that matchup and i just cant wrap my head around it
