In all seriousness, where is JI? He says he was ready a while ago. Are we really just holding him back to tank again?

[Def Swami]

Young, inexperienced, turnover-prone team against Conference Champion, top 5 defense juggernaut. I hope it stays close, but I could also see the Celtics running away with this if we're careless with the ball.

Good defensive test for Franz and Paolo.

Maybe they'll hit some 3s in the home arena to keep it close.

That's relatively good news considering how much pain he was in

[RookieStar]

I hope we shock and win this game

[SOUL]

Boston may force Mosley's hand to stagger because I think they pretty much always have Jaylen or Tatum out there*.

*I could be wrong but whenever I watch them it seems like it.

[RichCollab]

Boston missing a couple of key bigs.

This is fairly accurate. Usually Tatum comes out with around 4 minutes left in the first quarter and comes back in to play nearly all the second. Meanwhile Brown will play the entire first Q and get an extended breather in the second

I hope the Celtics had a nice friday night in Miami.

And I hope Wendell/Franz are ready to step it up a bit.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

I know this is a scheduled loss but I really hope this team can get a win. I think the team just need that mentally. Either way, good luck tonight Magic.

[DiplomaticMagic]

Hope its not a Celtics crowd.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

I really did miss our game DJ (or whatever his title is called)… Welcome home Orlando.

[thelead]

Cole playing defense? Is hell freezing over?

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Too many cheers for Celtics, I hope that changes soon throughout the season.

[VFX]

Why are they not covering smart.

[thelead]

They're just daring us to shoot 3's.

[Message Boar]

Hmm, maybe we should guard the corner three.

[mattyBoi]

Again, the players need to be taught what is and isn’t an acceptable shot.
