Need Derrick white to step up on offense. Needs to attack the hoop more

[ConstableGeneva]

I've never wanted to get rid of a team more. Sweep these punks.

[SuperDeluxe]

Considering our less-than-stellar performance and the absence of Mr. Plus Minus, no complaints here.

[Shak_Celts]

Since seeing Sinners, this is the first time I wanted to join the other side, Orlando kcpee needs a lil b….letting.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Their only advantage over us is physical size, and if the refs continue to let them get away with physical ish and not call them for it.

Hauser only got 1 FGA that half and it was when Orlando turned it over on the inbounds under our hoop
If Orlando isn't going to leave Sam, you have to run him around off picks and cuts so he can get some attempts
We are 4-17 3PTA and only one of those is Hauser

Ball movement isn't great and it's not great that Jrue picked up his 3rd foul
We're really gonna need Jrue in the 2nd half
Gotta get Jaylen in some positions to catch, attack and then shoot/pass
Jaylen dribbling around above the 3pt line hasn't generated anything good
All our guys are missing a lot of FTs also
But, all things considered, was a fun half... don't envy the refs, Orlando fouls every single time

[nohandles]

Orlando's way of playing D is pushing players over when they get blown by. I hate it when less talented teams play dirty to even the game and it's rephrased as hussle.

[bfchs123]

Shooting 35% / 24% and still up 3

Hopefully shots start falling. Need a lot more from the guards

[Bill Lumbergh]

This might be a game to give X a few minutes to put the wood on a couple of these dudes.

Or Queta
This is a rough game and guys could get exhausted with Joe playing just 8

Or Baylor because I think we need a shot in the arm.

Yeah, that's my concern, too. Us getting worn down a bit. If it's just a game of skill, we win. Their only chance is physicality, and hoping the refs let them get away with it and we get tired.

[Fierce1]

Celtic defense great so far.

It also helps that the Magic can’t shoot for **** lol.

True.

That's why I said limit their FGA.

If Magic don't get 2nd chances then it will be tough for them because their offense is mediocre.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Meanwhile, it looks like Cleveland will make easy work of Miami.

[NYCelticsfan136]

Such ugly basketball by this team. It hasn’t been pretty. I will be shocked if this team makes the finals playing garbage basketball like this .

[ConstableGeneva]

That might be the formula. Less dribbling and just pull up for three lol.

[Tyakack]

How did white hit that. My god lol.

[NYCelticsfan136]

This team never handles physicality well. I think Oklahoma City would make quick work out of this team.

[PierceFan4ever]

LFGGGG!!!! **** KCP!

[zoyathedestroya]

Everything Horford does now has something extra. Why make him mad?
