Magic @ Celtics – 7:30PM, Mon, Oct. 22, 2018

What I need...

- More minutes for Tatum. The kid is too young and way too good not to be playing in the high 30 minutes each and every game. Keep him on the floor.

- Kyrie to keep letting it fly from 3. He needs to shoot himself out of this cold spell. He needs to be our Steph Curry, and Tatum our KD (in terms of our offense). When Kyrie gets it going, it opens up the floor for everyone.

- Morris to stop playing for a contract.

- Hayward to keep initiating the offense. Good things happen when he does.

- Keep pushing the ball. I love when the rebounder pushes the ball up rather than looking for the PG. Push and go. It’s a scary way to play.

- Brad needs to get the defensive mentality back in these dudes. Too many players out of position, allowing open looks.

See, Gordon is slowly going to catch onto everything.

Chemistry issues already? Hayward must have his mind on going to the Knicks already

Is Game 4 of 82 a better indicator of playoff success than Game 3 of 82?! Find out tonight!

Any word yet on who's out with injuries tonight?

I saw Baynes is out...that’s all I know

Magic start Vucevic, Isaac and Gordon. It's a lot of size and length but lacks shooting. With Baynes out I'm guessing we go small? Gotta execute on offense and make open shots.

Losing from the Kings obviously makes you desperate.

It's GINO time. Time to kick it up another gear boys. Tatum showing the NBA world why he should have been the true ROY

Vucevic seems like a much better matchup for Robert Williams than Kanter was. I wonder if he gets 10-15 min tonight.

I'm fairly confident. This team is way too good to play often as they did on Saturday. We've got to be patient.

Oddly enough, I think Hayward being out was as big of a blow as anything.

I predict the Celtics breeze their way to victory tonight over Orlando. Hayward will score 15+, Jaylen Brown & Kyrie will play their best games thus far. We will get our first glimpse of Robert Williams and Brad Wanamaker too

Post #35 » by **SmartWentCrazy** » Mon Oct 22, 2018 1:15 pm

Pros:

-I feel like we always kill Orlando and match up well with them

-Tatum has shown that he ups his game vs players he works out with and Im expecting him to want to roast Bamba

-Brown has also had some great games vs Orlando

-Their guards have no chance of stopping ours

Cons:

-3 in 4 nights is tough

-No Baynes hurts vs teams with solid Big depth

Prediction: Double digit win with Yabu playing suprisingly wellnand earning at least one victory cigar vote.

Looks like I'm going to be very wrong about every single draft pick from 2018. Was wrong about Doncic and Ayton, and will end up very wrong about Bamba. This is what happens when you base your scouting report on youtube videos.

Anyhow, I hope Terry has a career night against the Magic and goes for 50. Anything to convince the Magic that they need to engage in a sign-and-trade with us during the summer. Would love to get my hands on Gordon, Isaac or Bamba. They all look very promising to me.

Not sure you can base things off of a b2b against a team that didn't have to travel. Would make sense that Kyrie wouldn't look great in a b2b post knee surgery. We'll roll tonight.

Hayward I get.
Horford, def understand.
Kyrie, sure.

But young dudes like Tatum, averaging 32-33 mpg?? What's the logic there? Injury?

I don't think anyone on this team should be going over 30 mins much, during the regular season.
We're deep enough to keep everyone fresh for the Playoffs.
