Series Thread: 2) Boston Celtics vs 7) Orlando Magic

[Wamu]

That's a bad call.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

That call is absolutely abysmal. Zero excuse for it.

Having all the 7/8 seeds play on the same day wasn’t exactly a smart idea

It makes it easier to pay attention to our loved ones when there is no competition to draw our interests.

We likely see two closer games tonight

About what I expected in this one.

 

[Gman]

A good start.

Orlando is a pretty good team... their team defense is rugged and legit, they're kinda made for the playoffs on that end.

It's just that they're up against the defending Champs.

Let's keep it going, C's.

Solid chance both road teams win….

Just not enough offensive firepower to keep up with Boston. They probably get a game but that’s likely it

Yeah... that's it. Both teams play strong defense... but the Magic are just not on the same level on offense, even with a horse like Banchero.

I thought the Magic D was excellent keeping us off the 3s. We had to adjust. Most notably few 3s will be possible in half court sets. We need this challenge and going inside helped.


Game opened up when we started playing defense in second half leading to
Fast break 3s. That’s the only way we got those second half looks

Physical team. The B man had a amazing game for the magic

Did I hear correctly that the Magic had the best D against the 3 in the league?

They do. And it’s good to have this type of d to experience in the p offs

… had the C’s made several more of their uncontested 2s, I don’t think the contest would’ve been as tight
