I swear the Celtics were just bluffing us with the Tatum injury, he looks great


Absolutely they just gave him the game off to rest because they know they can beat the magic with guys out of the lineup... Ala holiday sitting tonight. He is injured but if this was ecf or finals no doubt he was playing game 2.

Why is Cole Anthony playing?

Cole just isn't consistent enough on offense to put up with his terrible defense. They are HUNTING him HARD.

We're desperate for offense, no one else can score besides Paolo or Franz.

Anything that involves Magic players trying to put the ball in the basket is a weakness. Even free throws are baffling ordeals now.

This team is not a good PG away from being a contender. There is a lot of work to be done here.

I legit would throw head coach money at Chip Engelland but our owners won't do it.

the NBA wants this to be a sweep, no other explanation. 2nd foul on Paolo again in the 1st. no other star gets that called on them
