12/17 Maim the “Magic” Mice, Again, on Kids Day

[OnWisc]

Isaac on skates defending PP.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

It's shocking that Moe Wagner didn't go to Duke

 

[Just a bit outside]

Great to see JB channeling his inner George Gervin!

Again!

 

[OnWisc]

Jaylen seems to be feeling it right now.

 

[dhellers]

Again!

Not sure who said it a a game thread or two ago, but when JB is on his offense could be superior to JT. If only that "when" was more consistent throughout the season....

 

[benhogan]

early game slop throughout

 

[Just a bit outside]

That was gorgeous.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Heat check! Good!

 

[RSN Diaspora]

This team is fuckin’ ridiculous

 

[The Mort Report]

Whelp JB might be hot

 

[SteveF]

Brown is on some kind of heater.

 

[ifmanis5]

JAYLEN

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

They are a wagon

 

[dhellers]

Damn....JB not worrying about earning his salary is earning his salary?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Here for it JB

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Orlando has one guy who can win one-on-one - that's an issue. Celtics have about five tonight, possibly more. For all the inside D and good things Orlando does they just need a better second scorer than the better Wagner

 

[SteveF]

Did Anthony Black get hurt? I haven't seen him for a while.

 

[OnWisc]

The only thing beating this team in seven is 1) themselves 2) injury, 3) thermonuclear Giannis aided by the refs, 4) thermonuclear Jokic aided by the refs. And I’m not even sure 3 & 4 would be enough.

He fell on a foul in the third and was playing with his hand before a FT attempt

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Reminds me of when Tatum made his first All-Star game and then it was like something flipped and he just took things to another level. Taking the pressure off opens the game up, I guess.

 

[SteveF]

Ah. That's right. Thanks. Hopefully it's not a long term thing.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

debateable on the initial contact---probably should stand based on that. But all ball late, and likely off Tatum

The chances of a KP injury is the biggest barrier

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

I’ll take the end result there.

 

[ifmanis5]

Awesome block.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Second game in a row vs Orlando that the Celtics just asserted their will at both ends when it mattered. Terrific closing kick from them tonight.

OK, I know...too soon to say so

 

[dhellers]

At what point does the bench come in to finish the game, or does Joe want to Put Orlando In Their Place with two blowouts

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The C's are really putting it upon the hapless Magic here, late.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Pull up three narrative absolutely obliterated

 

[ifmanis5]

The look ELITE here.

 

[benhogan]

get KP out of there

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Empty the bench, Joe. It's time.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

JB is unstoppable

 

[OnWisc]

I’d still go with beating themselves, but we’ll see.

Does this count as a comfortable win?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

CJM had a very good two games---feels like he challenged them and got them to play 48 minutes back to back games for really first time this year against quality opposition

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Idiot ref didn't realize that was an intentional foul and made him hit him harder. That about sums up the situational awareness of NBA referreeing

 

[SteveF]

Idiotic by the refs. Just allow the subs. JFC.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

What’s Joe saving that TO for?

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Even with a lead like this, I don’t understand choosing to foul in the penalty to bring in subs rather than calling timeout.

 

[lars10]

I’d still go with beating themselves, but we’ll see.

If.. and I know it’s a big if.. JB finds a way to keep reducing his TOs and continues to play with this kind of assertiveness.. this team will be hard to beat even in the playoffs.

 

[SteveF]

He pulled up a bit on the rim, but JFC.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

LOLrefs

 

[OnWisc]

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

That’s so, so dumb

 

[OnWisc]

Pretty take.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Both teams eager to get to the showers and the three clowns just cannot stop whistling things

 

[OnWisc]

If.. and I know it’s a big if.. JB finds a way to keep reducing his TOs and continues to play with this kind of assertiveness.. this team will be hard to beat even in the playoffs.

They know what works, and when it works they can beat anyone, which is why is so frustrating when they get away from what works.

 

[OnWisc]

This team just overwhelms opponents- even good ones- routinely.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I know others will have plenty but no notes here.
