2024-2025 NBA Playoffs Round 1, Game 2: (7) Orlando Magic at (2) Boston Celtics - 7pm ET

Imagine being a defensive identity team, and choosing not to play Goga and JI. Literally our grestest strength and we shoot ourself in the foot. WCJ means we dont get stops.

Series over. Fk moseley off hes not upto it.

[JF5]

Celtics are just 2 levels better than the Magic... don't know what else to say

[outlawmarx]

You guys don't get it, we are just pretending that KCP can't hit a 3 so everyone forgets about it and he hits 20 next game

[SOUL]

Our best teams the last few years have all had Goga in the lineup.

Mosely really missing the boat on Goga and Isaac. Harris and Houstan playing more minutes than either of them. Yikes[/quote]

Almost like our big position is deeper!

[basketballRob]

It was a winnable game

This has just been disappointing.

How so? The Magic weren’t expected to win.

Game is over. Paolo is the truth. AB earned some extra minutes and got great experience. Silver lining I guess.

We need someone who can make some 3s and handle the ball badly. Obviously.

So how does the team deal with the lack of spacing/scoring with those guys in the game?

[MasterGMer]

Even without Tatum, and Magic is still losing by 11?

They're at a different point in their progress than we are.

Our bench is still a couple years of development away from what theirs is doing.
I'm not saying that in two years we'll be the Boston Celtics, but even if we stand pat with our free agents, we'll be much better in two years, obviously!

Because they could've won this game. Mosley shat all over the bed. Letting the Celtics get away with playing two bigs when he has better bigs is just a really bad look.

[ogmagicfan]

Goga +2 and only player who is positive +/- other than Houstan who is +1, but Goga probably never sees the court again because Mosley.

He had 4 fouls in 8 mins

[Bensational]

Wasn't able to watch..... Did goga get tossed? He had some good minutes right?

Fouled a ton, but he was impactful. Rebounding, getting open for buckets under the basket, blocking shots. Did it all. Only player positive in +/- other than Houstan.

Just because they weren't expected to win, doesn't mean you can't be disappointed in the lack of offense outside of the big 2. The awful FT shooting, etc

[RookieStar]

Well as expected really... without Suggs and Moe i already knew it was a lost season.

[Bensational]

Daaaaaaaamn Dell! 2 big 3’s in the 4th!

[ogmagicfan]

Carter and KCP need to go

Wrong game to push that agenda for WCJ

Goga +2 and only player who is positive +/- other than Houstan who is +1, but Goga probably never sees the court again because Mosley.

Thats kinda what you want from your 3rd C...

[CZ Eddie]

Uh oh, let's get Carte3 more of those
