Where is Simons? He was scorching hot in the first half and has not seen action yet in the third.

Still up by 11 with 3:39 left

If we survive this there is a coaching lesson to be learned-Don't jack around with these games.

Only the Celtics can make a 25+ point lead turn into a nailbiter late in the game

I'm convinced we're gonna blow a 40-50 point lead at some point this season

[Silas]

Needed the win with great shooting and poor defense.

[Silas]

TPs for those who hung around.

[hwangjini_1]

i agree, tps for all those who are here. a win is a win!!

So what do we make of the Magic? I thought they'd be a Top-3 or 4 team in the East tbh but they absolutely haven't looked like it. Do they need more time for chemistry?

I think Bane needs to learn to play with Paolo and Franz. I see a similarity when we had Smart/JT/JB. All three wanted the ball in their hands. Plus they?re still missing Mo Wagner who?s an integral part of their bench.

Just finished watching. JB was terrific in the fourth.  I like Simons.  Minott had a great stretch early.  White continues to surprise me. He?s making uncharacteristic mistakes with the ball.  Hope Q is ok.

[slamtheking]

Just finished watching.  can't believe they let it get that close down the stretch but JB hanging tough down the stretch for them. 

hoping Q is able to go for the next game or this team is going to really struggle

Always feels good to win, but Brown and White do not need to be playing 35+ minutes this year. There's no money in it for us.
I still think Tatum's excess minutes every season (along with off-season activities) directly contributed to his Achilles injury.

Jaylen is averaging 32.4 minutes, his lowest since the 2018-2019 season, so I do not exactly get this comment.  White is playing 32.9 per game, which is less than last year as well.
