The start of the downfall last night came following a timeout at the 5:37 mark of the 4th qtr. with the Celtics up 95-93.  Orlando had gone very big a while prior to the T.O. with 5 shooters, Fournier 6'7, Hezonja 6'8, Harris 6'9, Gordon 6'9, and Smith 7'0.  After the T.O. Vucevic 7'0 comes in for Smith.  The Celtics had K.O., Jerebko, Turner, Bradley, Smart in before the T.O. and substituted out Jerebko and Turner for Crowder and I.T. after the T.O.

So it is Orlando's ball and you now have on the floor.
Celtics -  5'9, 6'2, 6'4, 6'6, 7'0
Orlando- 6'7, 6'8, 6'9, 6'9, 7'0

Reentering the floor the C's are a mess!  K.O. goes back to defending Gordon like he was before the T.O., Smart takes Fournier, Crowder on Harris, I.T. on 6'8 Hezonja and Bradley ends up on VUCEVIC.  The next possession they are still sorting this out, ends up just as bad and the C's call a T.O 51 seconds later after coughing up two wide open 3 pointers.  Score now 99-95 and a huge momentum shift.

Um I think you misread the post or misinterpreted it.  I could give a rats ass about the loss it happens.  I do wonder why in the world you would ever stick that line up out there under those conditions though, it was a disaster waiting to happen.  Nice post though.

Oracle,

I think Brad Stevens will eventually be one of the great coaches in this league but right now he is dealing with so many really good players, and about to get more,  that he is still trying to find those perfect matchups. watch for him to win some unexpected games in the second half of this season. these guys are going to surprise!!!
