Woof, Paolo checked out on Defense after that turnover. Mosley needs to call a TO so they can regather.

And anybody who thinks I don’t like AB is crazy

He simply just does not fit with Paolo and Franz. That falls on the FO.

Franz/AB picks for DBook/Grayson Allen.

This team is completely different next season

Every player that touches the floor for Boston can shoot 3s

It’s called modern basketball.

We are still waiting to adapt I guess. We will keep running the running back through the A Gap and wonder why we are winning the time of possession but down 2 scores on the scoreboard.


This isn't soccer. Time of possession means nothing in basketball.

Beating a dead horse, we need more scoring.

The way the Magic play it does matter. We struggle to get a good shot off. Celtics run up and down the floor shooting 3s

Paolo's next step in his game is taking advantage of space. Isaac had a great screen for Paolo and he just lazily dribbled and got no advantage from it.

Don't think Boston wanted to expend the energy in the 1st half.

What was Mosley saving that timeout for? Team was discombobulated for the last 3 minutes.

As good as AB is on defense he is almost unplayable vs them on offense. Having a ''Guard'' who cant do anything with the ball and can only shoot when he is wide open on this team kills the little offense we have.

Yeah, this sure does beat a lottery pick

Insane how awful this team is in the 3rd quarter.

And that’s coaching.

Anyone who watches this and thinks Mosley runs and teaches good offensive is brain dead. This is dreadful. The lack of movement, the lack of cutting, I have watched better play calling in the G league.

I’m not a big blame it on the refs guy, but the league might wanna actually do something about the way star teams get calls. The way they called this quarter from the beginning is bs

That’s not Paolos game. He should be working from the free throw line down taking advantage of the undersized wings.

Paolo is a tank. This Magic coaching staff makes it way too difficult for him.
