That Celtics lineup is not scary. Be careful.

Yeah this definitely can be a winnable game for Orlando. I think Brad Stevens shines through in the end though with his coaching. Hopefully Isaac can display a little more on the offensive end.

Don't think Gordon is playing this game, due to the Celtics lineup it will be close but I think we will still lose. Isaac has an upper-respiratory infection which I didn't know so I suppose that explains why he has been struggling getting up and down the floor

Yeah just saw the tweet from Robbins:

And AG is apparently symptom free but still needs to be checked out by an independent neurologist before he can suit up again.

So I guess this is why Isaac looked like he was dying on the court last game...

Just thinking about how loud the Celtics fans will be in the Amway makes me nauseous.

A smoother handle probably allows Isaac to have enough of an advantage to attempt a decent shot on that fastbreak, but I like the awareness to hold up instead of forcing a bad shot.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

"Brad Stevens will call out mismatches from the sidelines."

Mismatches that Vogel is creating by instructing our guys to switch.

Mario doesn't seem to have a consistent form on his shot when he shoots.

Agreed. We run boring offensive sets and are a sieve defensively. But hey, Augustin is shooting the ball well so there's that.
