2024-2025 NBA Playoffs Round 1, Game 3: (2) Boston Celtics at (7) Orlando Magic - 7pm ET

54 combined minutes from Harris and KCP, zero points. I've never seen anything like it, if PB and Franz had even a little bit of help this team would be so much better. We don't even need stars next to them, just average NBA players. Our depth is the worst I've ever seen an NBA team have.

They were down at halftime but they fought their way back and pulled this one out.

On to Game 4.

Here I am Howard Mass, I thought we were going to get swept. Shame on me.

We shot a worse percentage but finally, we took more shots than Boston.

Really weird game down the stretch but gutsy win. Gotta give this team a lot of credit. The defense was insane

Wagner had himself quite the game just stop taking contested 3s please. Hopefully AB isn’t seriously hurt. Can JI play over 20mins next game?

Big prime time TV showing for Franz and P5

We won a game!

Mostly a defense win IMO, Paolo and Franz with some impressive shotmaking as well.

Wendell came up huge in the 2nd half.

AB looked like last night Caruso out there before the foul trouble and injury. Insanely impactful minutes, even some nice defense on Tatum thrown in there.

Some take aways from this game:

Franz scored 32 points while 3 for 13 from three. But his buckets at the end of 4th Q won us the game

Dell played a good second half especially on the board

Paolo is not as efficient today but still carried this team

Cole had 5 TOs which is quite uncharacteristic and I do believe he can make a bigger impact

Gary is good on defense but KCP scored 0 point.

I know we won. But not easily. But if we improve on one or two of the other areas, I think we are having a series and possibly win it. I do believe!
