Good defensive win.

On another note, I cannot believe we have 2 shooting guards that are out there doing nothing on offense for 20-30 minutes of a game.

That’s either on Mosely or those guys are just collecting paychecks. I have a hard time believing both of those guys just fell off and that it has more to do with getting them more involved somehow.

Whatever it is it’s insane. What a waste.

AB is hurt?

For a few minutes, it looked like he might have sprained an ankle or something.
Didn't see him much (or at all?) after that.

Ok... when i watched the 1st quarter we were down 9 i think. Stopped watching and just checked on box scores from time to time.. surprisingly we went up so i decided to watch the last part of the 2nd quarter wherein we went down by 10.

I knew i was bad luck so i stopped watching. I just logged back on to check the scores and...WOW we won.

Anyone hit me with a replay cuz i didnt watchef the 2nd half lol

We don't even need stars next to them, just average NBA players. Our depth is the worst I've ever seen an NBA team have.

Yeah, Magic are decent role players away from being a great team

Did the refs even look to check the time. Celtics def should’ve had more the .3 left. Is that not reviewable anymore? Just curious

He either got a knee to the thigh, cramps, or an ankle sprain.

Luckily they're doing enough on defense to not be complete negatives. It's that or chance Jett also not hitting anything but also not playing defense.

I'd maybe think about playing Franz at SG for some lineups.

We legit could win this series with Suggs, now can we get 3 games?

I don’t know what it is man. And I don’t think all the blame is Mosley either. Most of KCPs shots in this series have been wide open and he is just not hitting. Defensively they have been good though.

Yeah, I think they should have had at least .8 seconds but I don’t think it would have made much of a difference.

Yeah I agree it is crazy that those guys cannot score like anything at all. I did think Gary was very stout on defense tonight.

It's like AB is the only guard with a chance of scoring and it is mostly all off of cuts and hustle plays. CoJo will hit his occasional wide open 3 too I guess.

TBF Garry wasn't getting too many passes on the offense. Of course that's on him also but it is true

Yeah I think it is a combination of things.

No one is asking about the AB injury

I definitely think offensive scheme has a lot to do with it. Although some will differ and say Paolo/Franz create open shots for them, and they're just missing open shots. I don't see it like that. To me it's offensive scheme, because our guards for the most part always look out of rhythm and uninvolved with the way our offense is ran and that's coaching (not 100%, but they deserve a lot of blame).

I just come to realization Mosley is a good motivator, defensive coach and the rest of our coaching staff is from the make a wish foundation that Mosley collected off LinkedIn.

Like 3 reporters asked Mosely about Black's performance, but no one asked if he was injured.

He was legit amazing, hope it isn't forgotten by most because his minutes got limited by a weird foul call and then the injury.

Also rimmed out on all or most of his 3s, if one of those could have dropped would have been even nicer, but we won... I will take that outcome.

It's not only that because KCP got great open looks in both games. I agree that we need an offensive coach but I think after KCP starts missing we stop sharing the ball
