Heak, it does not matter if all of their Starters were out, teams don't just roll over in this League.


Heak no they don’t

Celtics still win this one by 7+

Who is Boston starting? Do they put Brown and JRue on Paolo and Franz and bring Hauser in to defend KCP, with White on CoJo?

Or are they starting Horford and putting KP on Paolo?

The TNT crew said Cole is the key for the Magic. You never know if their relationship with Greg influences what they say.

The Magic almost never lose when Cole plays well.

The problem is he very rarely plays well.

I think he’s just actually too hurt to play and that’s that.


You don't think if this was the ecf or finals and he had this same injury he wouldn't be playing? He finished the game on Sunday so it's not like he was hurt bad enough to exit that game. I think playing the magic at home has somewhat to do with him being out for this game, no?


Not really. I’m sure that his wrist swelled up and got very sore after the adrenaline from the game wore off.

Looks like fan duel is broadcasting the game. I have a magic feed on the NBA tv app.

They just showed Cole getting a couple of buckets in the last game. They didn't show the 4 or 5 he gave up.

I hope you didn’t place the bet.

Tatum is out.
Wow..... Guess he was more messed up than I thought, his wrist hit the rim or something?

When Cole scores above his season average (10+) the team is 14-12.

When AB scores above his season average (10+) the Magic are 21-12.

Need big games from both tonight!

Starting Horford… could be worth Mosley using Goga with the 2nd unit to wear them out.

A lot of self inflicted wounds so far. Missed lay ups and given up offensive rebound, couple of turnovers....

Paolo defense definitely picks up in the playoffs.
