F it I'm with Turner on that one..

[mctyson]

Team high -18 for Jae Crowder and not far behind -17 for IT.  YIKES.

Maybe Turner won't play again for a while? We can hope at least.

as usual, when turner plays within the team plan he contribues. when he plays hero-ball he stinks.

typical turner.

we make them look like an allstar team...

They have a ton of talent

yeah we got rolled over by a young unexperienced team...

i give orlando credit for making their shots. a career night for 2-3 of them and that combined with poor celtics shooting.

sad, not the end of the world. with one more good scorer the celtics dont have that slump at the end. oh well.

tps to everyone to drown out the loss. 

not to mention as we saw against the Nets, it's hard to beat the same team twice when you blow them out the first game.

Turner wasn't really a problem tonight. IT not being able to guard a wet napkin and us relying too heavily on threes is what killed us.

I know, but I want Smart to play on ball more.

Team high -18 for Jae Crowder and not far behind -17 for IT.  YIKES.

they didn't have a good night in terms of helping the team win -- regardless of how many points IT had, he wasn't helping when on the court.

[SHAQATTACK]

I figured they would. Out energy the Celtics

Hope this not the beginning of the mini losing streak of the next two games as well. 

We just screw up against young athletic clubs.

[KeepRondo]

Magic played like a team that hadn't won in 8 games.

Was gonna be tough to beat them.

When KO plays near all-star level, the Celtics are hard to beat. When he plays like he did tonight, we are a below .500 team.

If Danny could trade some of the assets to upgrade the KO spot with consistency, I think this team makes a nice run.

Team high -18 for Jae Crowder and not far behind -17 for IT.  YIKES.

Crowder didn't show up tonight. He could've really helped us.

[max215]

How is there no foul for throwing Marcus?

[SHAQATTACK]

I figured they would lose this game. Out energy the Celtics ....payback and wait into ambush them....that's the deference in star team....they don't have letdowns

Hope this not the beginning of the mini losing streak of the next two games as well. 

We just screw up against young athletic clubs.

ET, AB, Smart, JJ and KO had a 1pt lead few mins left, CBS sends in Jae and IT4 and the Mage take over. First half was the same. The second unit with AB was battling and were better defensively, should have stuck with it. Defense collapsed when Jae and It4 were inserted, that's not to blame them but the matchups just worked that way.

Crowder didn't show up tonight. He could've really helped us.

all in all, it was a so-so showing by the celtics and a career night for some of the magic. yet the celtics almost won. i suppose that is something positive....i guess.
