Magic always play us tough, even when they stunk. I think having a tree of our own (Porzingis) will certainly help

This will be an L and the board will melt down again.

Watching the Nuggets-Magic game. Interesting that ORL runs an all-bench crew out there -- Anthony, Harris, Isaac, Ingles, Mo Wagner. Maybe the only team that does that.

It's weird how every time the second best team in the East stops being the second best team in the East the moment they meet Celtics.

Could very well be, but it would of course be an overreaction. IST afternoon game after a holiday on the road, they’re a good team playing well on both sides of the floor on a 5-game winning streak who just beat the Nuggets, while the Cs have been meh the last few games in general, Brown may not play and Tat may still be sick?

Very losable all things considered, but I still give us a 60% chance.

Since October 23, 2022, the Celtics have beaten every NBA team at least once. Except the Orlando Magic. The three consecutive losses against ORL is also our longest active losing streak vs. any single team.

Their dominance of the Celtics has to end today.

Celtics big advantage over this Magic team is their shooting. Shoot well and win, if they don’t hit their shots it will be ugly.

My prediction is Derrick White has an amazing game leading the Celtics to victory. As a result today is renamed as White Friday for central Florida.

It's White vs. Black at PG.

No Jrue is going to be a big problem. I'm officially worried about the game but we'll see

As long as JT and KP are playing, Cs still have the advantage.
