2023-2024 Regular Season Game 25: Orlando Magic (16-8) at Boston Celtics (19-5) - 3pm

[JF5]

The defense isn't the issue... You need to score and Black doesn't help with that...

Truth

Factually wrong tonight. Cole is 1-4 with zero assists and a turnover.

Black is 1-2 from 3, 1 assist and no turnovers.

Cole isn’t helping tonight. Reality is truth.

Very disigenious... Does Black have an offensive arsenal like Cole has? Didn't we just get a report where the Coach of the Celtics said we'll happily leave Black alone in the corners? I mean that should tell you enough as to how much Boston respects Black's offensive game.

So, this is going to be like last season were the opponents can’t miss from 3 and our team just go stone cold. We’ve seen this before, a little tired of this movie.

[Ralof]

if I am the Magic, i use this game to realize our weakness. We need legit scorers. Paolo needs help.

we got 3 guys on the floor right now that cant create their own offense.

and who else is there to bring in? Franz? hes a blackhole tonight

cole? another black hole

these last two games are the last you use to realize what magic need,are basically L printed in stone.

when we will start to lose against teams of our level,that would be the moment.

but until now we are good for a play-in team and there is nothing to change,the team still work well,defense,effort and bench scoring,don't touch anything.

Celtics are just a superior team... But its really games like this where you need other Scorers like Fultz and Carter to put pressure on the Celtics. Franz is struggling and you don't have anyone else who is much of an offensive threat outside of Anthony.

I feel like we're really missing WCjr in this game, seeing Goga wise open looking to make a difficult pass is hard to watch.

[RichCollab]

Let get missing Fultz both games vs Celtics. We need ballers!

[Bensational]

I can call the 2nd half already. Black will start and help get the lead down, he’ll get subbed for Cole and the game will get blown out again.

[eyriq]

I think Franz will bounce back in the 2nd half

[thelead]

Franz' performance makes me sad

[ogmagicfan]

I'm still frustrated that Franz decided last season he'll be spending this past summer & this upcoming summer with the German national team.

He really needs a full offseason to work on his game badly

The fact that we’re arguing about either one is depressing. Cole get hunted on defense and Black is left wide open. I wish these two can combine the best of themselves into one player.

Hopefully like that one game earlier this season where he went 10/11 in the 2nd half after going 1/10 in the 1st

Disingenuous is ignoring the live numbers staring you in the face. Black has scored more, generated more points and prevented more points than Cole. Wake up.

[mattyBoi]

Franz is REALLY struggling. Cole, Harris, Moe as well. Someone needs to snap out of it.

Black had like three 3's last game that's way better than what Cole had so i'm on team AB.

I’m not worried about Franz though. I know he will figure it out at some point.

Tonight sure but Cole is one of the best bench scorers in the league and microwave scorer who can suddenly go off and while a great defender black only avg 5 points. In a game when you having a hard time scoring you must have your offensive weapons on the floor, that only makes sense.

i dont agree at all. we should always be looking to improve. the way celtics play, is playoff basketball.

They have 7-8 guys in their rotation that can create buckets and it shows. They literaly have had 5 guys post up on mismatches. They are overwhelming us playing off mismatches with capable scorers.

We have Paolo/Franz/Cole. And tonight, well it's obvious, we have 1 guy

[Bensational]

Franz' performance makes me sad

Yeah he has had some serious slumps this season. Seems like the only way he knows how to get himself out of it is to keep attacking- which is resulting in more TOs and misses.

Yeah he's still young but this a good game for him to try and do some other things.

[ogmagicfan]

its hard to not play cole when franz is giving nothing and we have no ingles

we really have been getting shafted by bad reffing. the 1st q was fair, but the 2nd q was ridiculous
