As much as JB drives people bonkers he hit some timely shots last night.

I'm not usually a contrarian with these but I voted Jaylen.
#1, JB did his damage when the game was still tight, and took us into the lead. JT obliterated them after JB had done the dirty work.
#2, JB put Banchero on the bench, which took ORL's legs out from underneath them.

definitely JB had the single biggest impact plays at the biggest time, so I won't argue your vote. But Tatum had possibly his best playoff game and somewhat historic as well. so maybe


2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe..

for both.
And I loved the dunk at the end of the 1st half.
I thought it took Mosely about 3 possessions too long to realize Goga-on-Tatum wasn't the best matchup for the Magic.

The story of the series is, the Magic match up well with the Celtics, but there's way too much of a disparity in talent, depth, and experience for Orlando to have had any chance.

Paolo says he didn't commit those fouls last night, and his evidence was that he'd never committed that many fouls in other games. Uhh.
I thought Mosley coached a great series but maybe don't leave your best player in the game with 4 fouls early in the 3rd, especially when he is visibly frustrated and needs a rest anyway.

Great breakdown (from 8:14) of the Celts 3rd quarter scheme using offball screening action and "ghost" screens to mess up Orlando's switching defense, with JT, Luke, Sam and Payton on the floor.

Joe reaping the benefits of experimenting in the regular season.
