Celts Can't Pull a Rabbit Out of Their Hat! Loss vs ORL 11/24

Big fat poop on a stick, you guys!

Celts started the game well but the Magic are a tough young team and ran right past us in the 2nd half. Nice game from Luke Kornet but most of our guys were bricking shots all day and we ran out of juice. Make or miss league and all that.

Jrue was out today, KP left with a calf injury, JB is still dealing with the groin, and White and Tatum both got banged up to some degree as well. So as far as that goes... ugh.

I'm gonna do my best to instantly forget this one and have a nice rest of my day lol.

Celts are still #1 in the East standings but after this result we'll need to beat the Bulls next week to stay alive in the Tournament.

Hawks Sunday, Go C's!

This loss is on Joe. We were up 62-50 early in the 3rd & the Magic went on an 8-0 run. Instead of calling a timeout he let it play out & we never got momentum back. Our offence was not good enough in the first half to let the players figure it out.

Also baffled as to why Jaylen reverted back to his bad habits after his awesome game against the Bucks.

Would want no part of this Orlando team in the playoffs. They bully us. Still think we would win due to playoff experience but not a sure thing.

Need to beat Chicago by 23 to win the group if I'm correct

Orlando’s physicality bothered the Celtics once again. On to the next one.

We were due for a loss like this. Burn the tape, moving on.

Someone shot 28% from the field and 57% from the line by the way. Also, guess who had almost 30% of the team's shot attempts?

Cs had 15 more fts attempt and lost by 17, missing 10 fts doesn’t help.

Pritchard being invisible on a day we are missing a starting PG didn't help. I guess he did have one nice hustle play in transition but overall he was the Usual Pritchard.

Fire Joe. If Brad is not willing to do so, fire Brad as well.

Game was lost in the 3rd when the Magic went in a 17-0 run and a 12 point lead turned into a 5 point deficit. No timeouts until the Magic took the lead. Magic then got all the confidence and played the game like it was the NBA finals.

Just coaching malpractice. I thought Joe would be better this year but he just sucks.

He had 26 on 16 shots and 13 free throws. 5 boards, 3 assists 2 steals. Not the kind of game that could save the team from today's stinker but he wasn't the problem.

The team lacks focus and has no mental toughness. That's on Joe and Tatum.

If Tatum is going to be a pussy then we need a coach like Ime to call him out.
