Heat getting smashed by the Magic. They're nothing without Jaquez.

Hauser and even Prich logged more minutes than JB by half. I used to pray for times like this!

Still managed to jack up 7 shots as expected.

Apart from forcing things, which doesn't happen as often now, they hold on to the ball too long instead of making quick decisions with it. Offense stalls and defense recovers. So instead of playing mismatch bball against a scrambling defense, it often turns into stagnant iso.

White used to Spurs 0.5 offense. He's already running towards the rim upon the catch. Or throws a head fake on closeouts then team's already got an advantage.

3rd quarter woes won't go away.

Orlando using magic to turn Heat culture to agriculture.

JT still not at the level of last season…gotta be better than this

The Jays have to be better.

This is 2 straight games they're ass-ass.

This is actually not bad.

We want JT to be at his best in April, May, and June.

Yep, ball sticks a lot more when JT and JB have it.

WHat is it with these Celtics and always coming out flat in 3rd quarters? It's like an inveitability with this team.

Jays just throwing away this game.

Fierce1 · Post #120 » by **Fierce1** » Mon Jan 22, 2024 1:32 am

JB losing the ball again.

Stupid play like that cost the Celtics 3 points.
