Magic (45-36) at Celtics (55-26) Game 82 4/12/26

[ozgod]

One of the most entertaining wins in a while, achieved against a team that needed to win to get HCA in the playin, for the right to play us. And without the Jays, White, Queta, Hauser, PP, Vucevic and Gonzalez. We can quibble over Joe's x's and o's but there's no doubt as a leader he has an ability to get players to play hard for him and to buy into his system. It literally doesn't matter who you take out of our team they continue to play hard and to execute his game plan.

I agree ,  doesn?t matter if the contest is basketball or digging ditches ,  they?re gonna put the effort in .

I was really hoping the crowd would start up an MVP chant when Baylor went to the line in the 4th.  That would have been awesome.  The crowd was great during that crazy third quarter run.  Good on the Celtics for giving them their money?s worth even without all the stars playing. 

This was definitely one of of my most favorite seasons to watch.  I really hope we get to see a nice run in the playoffs and some revenge on the Knicks and their fans (who I haven?t forgotten did not cheer Tatum when he was carried off the floor).

I really enjoyed this win and it was fun to see always ready squad beat  a starting squad.  Banchero looks more and more like a guy who care more about padding his stats than winning.

Still not a fan of Shulga, trying to figure out what NBA skill he possesses.

Shulga is a career g league guy.  I just don't see an nba player.  Banton has had a hard time sticking around and he has better skills the shulga.  Same with tonje.  Amari Williams is the only one I see worth developing.

Orlando looks like a team that is broken and about to fire their coach.

It was hard to take Doris Burke continuously talking about Banchero being 6'10" and 250....so what.

Every time I've watched Ron Harper Jr play this season, I've come away thinking he's an NBA-caliber player.

Good size for a guard, can create looks, can score at multiple levels, defends both on and off ball, rebounds.  Might need him to be more consistent as a facilitator for others if he's going to handle the ball for a second unit, but he's flashed some ability there too.  I think he has pretty much everything you look for in a bench guard.  My only question is whether the jumpshot holds up over a larger sample, I'm not crazy about the form, but he got results this season.

she may have been competing with Drew and Scal about how many times it could be mentioned in a broadcast because they were pretty repetive about it too
