Not feeling good about this

Jaylen listless on D after missing his shot

[jpotter33]

Worst start of the series. On pace for 24 turnovers. No 3s made. Defense and rebounding nowhere to be found.

Only down 4.

True....but I don't like the feel of this game. Cs playing no energy whatsoever.

Hauser is almost unplayable.

Eh, it feels like they're going to blow it open in the second half.

The amazing thing is that we've still handled the Magic despite a superrrrr slow pace and limited threes. Bodes well for our offense moving forward against tougher competition. Though that said outside of OKC I'm not sure that any team can match this team's physicality and defense against us. They matchup very well with us.

JB looks awful.

And we're seeing the inevitable "Tatum on the bench" run.

Giving up tons of offense rebounds even despite a two big lineup. What's the point of playing double big if we're not even going to rebound??

Getting real 2023 first round vs. ATL vibes

No worries guys, clearly orl wasn't going to come to play. Just walk through the game

[liam]

JOE DO SOMETHING!!! PRESS FULL COURT AND PLAY MORE GUYS!!!!

[jpotter33]

For God's sake put Tatum back in. Apparently he's the only one who scores, rebounds, or assists for us.

Not going well here. It looked like the Celts came out determined to be extra physical and we played into Orlando's hands because that is their game. Some of the contact Orlando is getting away with, however, is ridiculous.

[Phantom255x]

ORL is 4-12 from 3, we're 0-5. Funny considering the styles both teams usually play

[radiohead]

Wagner is getting a better whistle than JB.

[scaryjerry]

I fear this is our inexplicable garbage home performance we were inevitably due for?.absolutely nothing positive about this lifeless game.

[angryguy77]

Can we miss anymore bunnies?

[Yuckabuck33]

So the Magic learned to defend without fouling between game 4 and today?

This is the scheduled once a series mail in game where they go through the motions expecting the other team to just roll over
