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

[MasterGMer]

We can not settle for 3s. That is not our strength and shouldn’t be the recipe to beat Boston. Run the offense and inside out.

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.

I think Boston pulls away... The Magic played good defense against them in the first quarter but the Magic still struggled to score early on, outside of those quick shots/fastbreaks. Plus, Boston partially started slow due to their own devices.

The advantage of the bench coming in and providing the offensive boast is not there given Boston player 2-3 of their starters with the 2nd unit. They become n

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.

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.

You are ignoring what Cole has historically done, you ignoring what he has done this season based one what he has done in one half of play.

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.

No, the problem is we’re being outscored. We need someone who can slow their scoring without crippling ours - Black does that. Cole accelerates their scoring and is crippling ours tonight. The lineup data is getting large enough now to see how much of a net negative can be. Just accept the truth.

3rdQP happen already?

This next 10-15 game stretch is brutal. They need to protect the home court like their lives depends on it.

[RichCollab]

We aren’t our usual selves on defense. That’s where it has to start. We know this.

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.

Sidney Prescott is that you?

I can’t be mad at Franz when we had back-to back-to back 30 point games but I hope he realize that the team need his scoring.

Black is solid on not giving up 2nd chances.

Does anyone have a stream for the Magic telecast?

That's doesn't work against a team like Boston...

Goga can't play in this game unfortunately

exactly.Boston is out of scale fo basically any nba team.

they can have basically always 1 superstar + 1 all star on the floor for 48 minutes.

and forth and fiveth players are excellent glue guys who fit perfectly with the others.

magic have done what they can,if they could keep around -10 -15 gap would be a good game.

btw it is pretty absurd competitors let celtics build a team like this,bucks especially

he did it against the wiz twice who give up the most ppg to SF's & the hornets

we can be critical while also hoping he turns it around

it has been troubling considering this the 25th game of the season and we're still talking about it

We only have 2 guys shooting a decent percentage, our second best player is only shooting 1-10. Paolo has more than half the team's points at halftime. The team is shooting 40%. How is offense not the problem? lol.

Nah, you’re ignoring what Cole has historically done because you’re blinded by points. And you’re ignoring what Black is doing tonight because he’s played like 20 NBA games prior to tonight?
