I can't stand orlando, but it's just reality that they do impose their style of play on us.

Its kind of embarrassing how as a team who’s played an average of 3.5 playoff series per season over the last 4 seasons, we are letting an inexperienced 7th seed get in our heads. Hope they get their sh*t together in the second half

Us being able to be limited offensively to the degree we have in this series is a huge red flag

I literally don't know what to say we have a close out game and we are losing at home to a team that we just can't pull away from.

One of the worst halves of basketball of the entire season and only down 2.

I'll take it I guess.

We won the Q by 2 so there's that. :P

We haven't made a three. This is ridiculous.

Celtics played like absolute crap and are down 2 points at the half. Not a bad place to be going into the 2nd half

And to think after all that, we're tied if Big Al trimmed his toenails before the game.

Kornet has caused, seems like 4 or 5 turnovers by bobbling but he only has 1 on the score sheet.

I think Al went for that poster dunk solely because he didn't want to try passing another pass to Luke ...

I love Luke, but he needs a better 2nd half catching, finishing and decisionmaking

Magic are shooting 36% and winning. That's how bad the Celtics have played. Magic can't throw it in the ocean but dumb turnovers and rebounding is the story. If they are going to give you no threes need to dominate all other aspects

You gotta be able to play against physical teams. Orlando is shooting 36.2 percent and up two. That’s embarrassing. They’re getting outrebounded badly especially offensive rebounds. Magic a couple of more free throws.

KP should've been our cheat code when Jays are being their inefficient and turnover-prone selves but he's underwhelmed esp when we've gotten him iso/postup opportunities.
