Magic (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) Round 1 Game 5 4/29/25

So the C's really want a Game 6 huh

[SCeltic34]

None of our players are rising to the challenge of defending Wagner.  He looks unstoppable right now.  That was a great pass to Isaac that he fumbled.

JOE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

[celticinorlando]

Embarrassing. Going to have to go back to Orlando because of this effort.

This is how you end up in a game 7 that you never should be in.

We have guys on the bench that haven't had a chance to bring that energy!!!!

[celticinorlando]

26 points on offense is pathetic. Almost as bad as the defense.

Team looks dead.

[ozgod]

Jaylen having one of those games where he just drifts and looks befuddled

[slamtheking]

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??

our bigs aren't "rebounding" bigs.  they can defend and block shots but none of KP, Al or Kornet are good rebounders for their size. 

[SparzWizard]

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

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

Last year's team was never like this. They went for the kill every series. But I guess after winning Finals MVPs, championships, 6MOTY etc it all got into their heads 

Yes we're missing Jrue but that Orlando team is also undermanned

[scaryjerry]

How is this at all a good sign for the future of this playoff run? The magic have 2 good players and are almost completely void of talent otherwise and they have completely dictated style of play the entire series?Celtics haven?t played there game the entire series?.painful

[liam]

Scheierman could be an extra ball handler, rebounder and passer.

[celticinorlando]

Offense just doesn't move. Just let Brown dribble into turnovers and bad shots while everyone watches.

[Phantom255x]

And that's probably the game

[Who]

Offensive rebounds & turnovers.

[jpotter33]

Terrible shot, White.
