    I can’t handle watching this offense anymore. It’s truly sickening to watch

  2. Euphoric_Valuable_53

    Paolo should ball hog and get to 40. He deserves it for being the only good player this game.

  3. comsmocasey84

    Imagine Paolo and Franz if Franz would hoop?!

  4. Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar

    Anthony Black needs more minutes, Cole and Harris needs less minutes.

  5. thestandupkids

    I love the people downvoting me for speaking the truth. It was a lot of fun to start the season but it’s going to get rough. 7-8 against teams with a winning record, we can’t shoot or defend the PnR well, and because we started hot teams have been doing their homework on us. There aren’t a lot of easy wins on the horizon. We have glaring holes that need to be addressed and we haven’t been addressing them.

  6. bllr32423

    Having WCJ back is huge. Aside from his defense obviously, I think he will do a lot to help Franz out. They play so well off each other

  7. Funny-Ad4997

    Dumb challenge, what’s there to gain?

  8. We need a trade right now and it needs to happen tonight

  9. Jay_Smooth7

    Celtics fan here, hope y’all get your shit together. Orlando can do better than this

  10. thestandupkids

    Piss poor effort from most of the team. Hopefully they take the disrespect they are getting personally and use it to fuel some better play moving forward

  11. Programmer-Gullible

    Jalen Brown said on Friday that that game was their biggest game of the season; gotta think they came with that same energy today. I guess this proves that we’re not able to compete against the best team in the NBA when their at their playing at highest intensity at home. I guess it’s time to blow up the team and start over.

  12. thewrongnotes

    The worst thing about this is Franz is now afraid to shoot

  13. ActApprehensive3271

    They are just better all around.

  14. Weltman trying to tank again by keeping fultz and WCJ out with fake injuries

    I’m convinced of it

  15. Effective_Owl_17

    Hope the guys get some energy back. Now that teams are respecting them things are getting tough. We can’t be so soft

  16. Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar

    36 points on 30 shots really isn’t that good. Paolo played okay today all things considered. Everyone else was absolutely awful besides Suggs and Black to a lesser extent.

  17. ballknower407

    They are just better. Plus they figured us out. Pack the paint, go for strips, let us chuck bad 3s, pass the ball around and make us rotate on defense.

  18. rtillaree

    That 9 game winning streak is really gonna be the highlight of this roster.

  19. lildenny

    Haven’t been able to watch the last 2 games, what happened? Did we just have a really hot start and now its evening back out? Thought we were better than this

  20. lemonglazedchicken

    boston color commentators are nice. brian scalabrine really likes the magic at least 😂

  21. agulde28

    What 3 and D type of players should we trade for? We definitely need to look into it going forward. Team needs shooting.

  22. Jaydillah

    Clearly in need of shooting, we are getting demolished again

  23. merlynman

    The Celtics announcers have an….. interesting style

  24. Cthulhus-Tailor

    I got annoyed a week ago when Ric Bucher predicted the Magic would ultimately fall entirely out of the playoff picture. Goddamn this team for trying their best to prove him right.

  25. Neophyte_Gardener

    Besides someone getting injured this was about the worst case scenario expected. Getting clapped twice

  26. 6142778WC

    We NEED Markelle and Wendell. The return of those two should help dramatically especially on the boards, defensive communication and getting us into our offense when things get bogged down. We’ll be fine. A young up and coming team just took a couple of shots from a team that has been in the Finals and around the elite teams for 5 years or so.

    We looked awful out there tonight and Friday. Million miles from the team that won 9 straight.
