Listen, I started as a Paolo unbeliever and have admittedly been way wrong, but this game and his immaturity and pouting is something he needs to work on—his lack of composure and intensity today was evident and pathetic…

Nah man. Refs took Paolo out of the game, the team fought with what little juice they had left and realised they were dead in the water.

Btw people still think Tatum is overrated? In this ugly a** game guy shoots 9/13 and has 4 assists less than our whole team

Well, Paolo got like 3 fouls in 3 mins, got to be smarter then this. Our shooting in this game is a tribute to the whole season and the reason why lts over now. Wish Boston all the worst, a soft classless team doesn't deserve a title.

These third quarters…

Time to start firing people. Weltman has to be the first

For all his faults, he showed up against the Celtics defense. These last 2 games were bad but he’ll be alright. He need this summer to work on his scoring though.

I am extremely proud of Paolo and Franz this series, they never gave up.

something has happened to him. not sure if it's physical, mental, or what but he is not the same player he was last year.

Did Franz just make a no-look behind the back basket?!?

This is how I expected all of the games to go. Pleasantly surprised they weren't like this.

I’m glad I logged in and saw you said this…this is the only game that I felt we were in control and felt a win coming. The refs did this. Went into the 2nd half with 2 Paolo fouls and less than 3 minutes into he has 5?! bull. I hate putting it on refs, but this was Boston being gifted a win at home because of who they are. And their fans are insufferable. I wanted to be a good sport with them but I just can’t. Angry Massachusetts people are just not my cup of tea and I live in south Florida and have to deal with it quite a bit. If they love home so much why don’t they just move back ya know? Anyways, I hope this offseason is the one that gets us back into some major limelight. I want to see the Magic being the team to be giving beat downs in the playoffs again! Frustrating season boys. But I feel something really good and well deserved for all of us coming. I hope that feeling is right.

Ffs don't get killed by 30 now

5 of 30 from three. Fantastic way to try and save your season. What a joke.

I guess the only positive is that going out like this they might actually do something.

Does smarter mean the refs being blatantly giving Boston the calls?
