Damn crazy how the game just changed like that. They been playing pretty well now the last few games but the Celtics are the type of team to click into another gear and blow it out. On to the next one

We've played a lot of games bunched together so this is probably fatigue. Feel sorry for any of y'all who went to watch this live tonight.

yeah.. im actually kina surprised we played... 7 games in 11 days???

That was an excellent drive by Suggs. That's what I want to see. Get the ball and go, we are too young and inexperienced to run half court offense consistently.

One of the many problems with tanking is that you are still running a business where you are charging ungodly prices for tickets. I used to go to a lot of Magic home games. I would never pay to see a tanking team. I feel sorry for the people that do and see games like this and the Knicks game, while our two highest paid players sit on the bench in street clothes.

Boston was one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA coming into this game. So far the Magic are shooting 31.9%, and 20% from 3PT.

This team wasn't prepared to play tonight

Boston hasn't impressed me at all.

The team is playing with some better energy in the 4th but this is the effort we have to play with in every quarter. That's what we have to get better with. Don't have the luxury to just give it to a guy and say go get us a bucket.

Franz double-digit scoring streak in jeopardy.

Especially in the 2nd half which is depressing.

Other than Gary Harris, the other injuries are legit. This team is just too young to be any good. We need more talent.

If we had competent guard play, this game would be a lot closer. We settle on 3s way too much for my liking.

This has been an absolutely terrible game to watch, even Boston has been bad, we have been way worse. Kinda of like the Det game, cringe. The 1st quarter was ok I guess.

32% from the field, 19% from 3. Cringe.

Yeah, Boston is really not a good team but Orlando is a lot worse, lol.

Franz weakest game of so far this season. Hopefully we get a bounce back game Friday from him.

Veteran-laden teams will often get us. In a way this happened with Detroit and their old man bench.

No stress. These games will happen. We have reinforcements coming and we're not even meant to win.

We've competed in three quarters, but the third one was insanely bad.
