The Magic aren't so tough when McClung isn't playing.

This is fun so far.

Magic already has 7 pts where they got lucky. Late shot clock 3s. C's playing good defense so far.

Walsh not shooting caused us to reset and have a 24-shot violation. His confidence is cooked.

Davison and Walsh are so bad, I feel bad for Baylor.

And the Celtics should just waive the both of them at Half Time...

The turnovers are our main, probably only, real problem. We already knew it would be hard to generate open looks but at least get a shot.

Tatum, Brown Porzingis, White, Holiday and Horford aren't walking through that door.

Walsh can't even make one at the rim. Served in a silver platter. Come on guy. Led to 3 easy pts for Magic.
