Wow, just checking in to see the scores.

Down 23 points at halftime to a below part team like Orlando? Yikes.

Spotted them a 20 point lead and now they are pretty much playing even. Two bad teams but Celts clearly worse tonight. Just have to bide our time until the trade deadline for roster cleanup move.

Does it look like Jeff Green has checked out? Sully also looks to be lacking interest.

They know they can't win without Rondo, right?  ;)

Don't think it has anything to do with Rondo. They look like guys who don't want to be on the court. By the way, Orlando is horrific so this game is still winnable.

Agree ...we were capable of some stinkers with Rondo too.

It's pre-Christmas malaise coupled with trying to work in two new guys (no Crowder tonight so far) and losing one major one.  There's really not a lot more to it than that; guys are thinking about going home for a couple days off with their families.

I'm hoping for a 4th quarter meltdown form the Magics.

Well,why doesn't it have anything to do with Rondo? Danny traded their captain--mid season. These guys are only human; above all, players like Green/Bass probably realize they're next.  That must affect morale.

The Christmas stuff should apply to Orlando, too ... yet they seem to be doing just fine.

Turned off the commentators and listening to this right now... Feels like an epic disaster.

They are home already, and got whomped by us less than a week ago, and haven't had major changes to their rotations in the last few days.  So, less distraction, more motivation, more chemistry.

Hum I thought I had the high school basketball channel

This the NBA Celtics playing ?  Is it not ?

lol.  I'm watching about 40 minutes behind on nba league pass and its the 2nd quarter....
They just said we've played 11 guys so far tonight lol
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.
