Magic (13-32) at Celtics (34-12) Game #47 1/21/18

Kyrie is cooking today!

He's been fantastic on both sides of the ball so far.

[liam]

The Magic are out working the Celtics.

[PAOBoston]

The bench is a serious problem. Just no scoring from Smart/Rozier. One of those guys needs to go for a scorer type.

[SCeltic34]

The brick trio is in.  Rozier, Smart, and Ojeleye doing great work to lose the lead for us.

[azzenfrost]

Not liking the defense. Keep Orlando under 90 and win, C's!

[liam]

There is no D in Rozier....

[Snakehead]

Semi now shooting 29% from 3 on the year but firing away.

It would be nice if Semi could actually make wide open shots.

Where is that 3 point specialist we signed to a 10 day contract?

To be honest, I would rather he shoot it when he is open than not shoot it. He's gonna start hitting those at some point.

No in uniform today. But he has to be better than Semi

[Eja117]

So with about 10 seconds left on the clock Smart takes a 3 with a guy in his face, clangs it, it results in a long reb by DJ Augustin who runs the other way for a layup, and the Magic go up 3 on our home court.

That's a game losing play by Smart. Try to remember that when he makes some absurd play by the skin of his teeth at the end of the game to win it. Yeah he makes game winning plays. He also makes game losing ones.

What's frustrating is he doesn't learn or change. Kinda a mini Toine with better defense

[celticinorlando]

And now begins the dreaded second quarter

[Snakehead]

Semi now shooting 29% from 3 on the year but firing away.

To be honest, I would rather he shoot it when he is open than not shoot it. He's gonna start hitting those at some point.

I would rather not pass up slightly less open shots from better shooters like happened twice around the perimeter on that  play, to get him a shot.  He can't shoot and he shoots too quickly.

My biggest issue is that he hardly even seems to realize there is anything else to do besides shoot a 3 and screen on offense.  He should be able to make things happen in the paint with his frame.

Thanks for the info. We could really use a guy that can make open shots in that 2nd unit....
