The Magic are just pathetic.

Clearly they're tanking.

Feels like what used to be a typical slow Tatum start. Fortunately, it doesn't much matter right now.

Magic: 7 TOs in the first 5:33 of the game.

Hell yeah, let's go! Kemba looking good. 3 straight steals, Kemba, Fournier and time lord.

We look good, but hard to get too excited since obviously orlando looks really bad..

Let's just take care of business and get the 5 starters some rest in the 2nd half..

I like this setup of Tatum bringing the ball up and Kemba is at the corner.

Celtics might be a Top 3 defensive team in the league for the season after they finish this game

This game is unloseable. The Orlando Magic are an affront to the game of basketball

Celtics scoring numbers are probably so-so if we ignore the many breakaways. The steals + runouts are obviously the big story so far.

I am in the Tatum will be top 5, MVP level and best player 25 and under boat. (yes Tatum>don't believe in defense Luka)

Having said that I am not a "hater" by saying Tatum is too kool to come out with attitude ala KG. I hate that about him..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Cole Anthony with flashbacks to UNC with this roster.

I had trouble recognizing Headband Marcus until I checked his jersey number.

I didn't realize it was him until I saw him airball a point-blank layup.
