[fallguy]

This is a good series for us. We'll win it. And we'll take some kicks to the head along the way. Exactly what we need.

**** Orlando

This team has been getting nicked up at the wrong time. Smh.

They need to stop playing lazy basketball. 21 turnovers is junior league stuff. Again physicality they have to adjust to it.

Through 3 games we’re averaging 18 assists per game with 14 turnovers per game. 9:7 assist:tov ratio is brutally bad.

Last year across 19 game playoff sample, we averaged 24 assists per game with 12 turnovers per for a 2:1 ratio …

The clock at the end was so confusing. We should’ve fouled though, that’s on Joe.

KP being bad meant Orlando had an easier time on the boards. We need him to step up and grab game 4.

[Jellybeans]

Sure KP was ass and some others didnt help too but..
The shiet refs keep doing in this matchup just straight up BS as if Magic are defending champs and even more.
They can do whatever they want and even more. When we start doing less ''physical'' things or even not ''physical'' we get called for fouls.
Pulling,grabbing and holding and nothing happens to them.
Does last 20 seconds where just something else. So called mistake on 8 seconds.
Last play WCJ holds KP with both arms and is pulling him down...

Refs screwed up by making an inadvertent whistle.

If the Cs fouled then that would have meant FTs for Orlando as the Cs were in the penalty.

Cs fouling woud have made it a 4-point game if the Magic made both FTs.

So not fouling was the correct move.

Cs got the miss, but the refs said time remaining when the timeout was called was not reviewable.

Orlando gets away with genuine tackles every trip

Imo, the worst playoff game for us in the last 2 years. I'm shocked it was this close. Shows you that first our defense is good(ranked 4th) and 2nd ORL's offense is struggling.

[ConstableGeneva]

VC to the Magic timekeeper, who should be behind bars along with his referee pals. Got his team a second of precious time down the stretch. "Shorten the game, extend the series."

Though this isn't why we lost. Our putrid offense in the 3rd gave this game away.

Thanks. This was my thinking pre-shot, but when I saw how much time was left I was doubting myself.

Not only that, the Magic have been trying to prove a point. They aren't gonna win, but they will hurt us in the long term.

Yikes. Just watching JT's postgame now. He's regressed three years and is back to rubbing his face (self-soothing management of his nerves?) like a 4-year-old through the whole thing.

[cloverleaf]

I want either Craig or Baylor to take Hauser's minutes next game. He's had three games to get uncorked and has done absolutely nothing. Try somebody else.

Hauser needs ball movement to score, and if the C's can't improve their ball movement they're cooked anyway.

[Froob]

Coaching masterpiece by Mazzula saving Jaylen’s 6th foul for the next game. Incredible stuff.

Porzingis can’t score a 3 foot jumper over Corey Joseph. Hauser is useless.

Celtics got robbed though.

Not very encouraging to see them struggle so much against Orlando’s defense..if they see OKC in the finals they are in huge trouble.

yeah I don’t get holding out jaylen’s, he’s either not playing in foul trouble or because he fouled out either way he’s not playing. just put him out there and live with it if he fouls out

[cloverleaf]

13 TOs from the Jays?!?

[Lacanm1]

Watching some of the game this morning as I missed it, that has to be Porzingis worst game he ever had in a celtics uniform. Joe really should have subbed Jaylen in instead of him. Franz kept picking on KP in crunch time

[drsd]

KP was obviously terrible.

Magic fan here.

Four times this game Porziņģis got a switch where Magic-PG Joseph ended up guarding him. This resulted in only 1-4 shooting. How is this explained? Porziņģis has a foot of height over Joseph. I found it very odd Porziņģis didn't just dunk over Joseph all four times.

[Parasite]

Joe would be run out of town anywhere else. Guy is a terrible in-game coach who gets a pass because of all the talent on the team. And shame on our guys for not stepping up to the plate after Orlando has brutalized us. As Kobe would say, “SOFT”

This is a huge factor. Nailed it.
