Literally everything is going the Magic's way right now.  I'm shocked we're not down 25 right now.

The Magic have much more energy, they're offense looks smooth, the defense is solid, and they're actually hitting 3s tonight.

Boston looks slow, lethargic, their defense is atrocious, and the early foul calls have put the entire team completely out of rhythm.

Again, you look and we're only down 12...but it feels like we're down 25, even 10 point lead may be insurmountable with how this game is going.

Get this game within 7 before half and everything will be ok.

I continue to believe Rondo is hurt, and if that is the case, Orlando may make NBA history in this series.
Could be. But if that's the case, use TA or Daniels some to slow down Nelson & give him a break.

If I was Doc I would put Nate in the game, give him a chance. Rondo is abysmal defensively so Nate can't do worse... but he can shoot on the other end.

He's abysmal because he was whistled for two quick fouls as was most of the Celtics roster.

There's a lot of basketball left.

It'll be critical to keep this game from mushrooming to 20, because it's very close right now.

Then, someone's got to get embarrassed in the halftime locker room.

Depressing and upsetting at the same time
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Ok, play defense, no matter if they foul out, but stay aggressive.

I believe. Remember game 4 in the 08 finals. The Celtics need to put it all together and play their game.

By the way, it's incredible how hard the Magic are allowed to play. I like how the Celtics are not complaining, and I hate how the Orlando boys are crying after every whistle.

Go Celtics, focus on what you do best, and do it. If not, please protect Rondo. They are killing him.

Honestly -- please stop with the ridiculous conspiracy stuff. Makes all Celtics fans look like complete crybabies. Donaghy isn't playing defense for the Celtics tonight.

our offense has be really shaky.  Turnovers galore, and we're just throwing up shot and getting them blocked.  On the defensive side we're getting picked left and right with no rotation.

this team looks so good and then looks the utter opposite....do they need to be humiliated inorder to get fired up to close this team out?

The effort in this game has been entirely second-rate on both ends of the floor, as has the execution.

All the whining about officiating is just embarrassing - like the level of play the Celtics have brought.

We are getting whipped on both ends of the floor. The blame is 100 percent in green. Anything else is just a meaningless rationalization of bad basketball

What he said. This is all on the Celtics' lack of effort tonight.

Pointing out some absolutely horrible, obviously corrupt officiating is not an excuse for poor play. It isnt either/or. Celtics have no intensity, I agree. But it is very hard to have intensity when you cannot be intense without a whistle.

Personally, I agree with the earlier poster: screw the refs. Play hard and foul out. It is better tha playing "smart" and getting destroyed. If the refs are going to call crap, give them something real to call.

I think that means one more T for  Perk and he is suspended for a game -- nice
