Prepare for WAR: Orlando Magic Vow to UNLEASH PHYSICAL ONSLAUGHT in Game 2 | Jayson Tatum DOUBTFUL
The tenor of the series changed with a seemingly innocuous but hard foul putting Jayson Tatum’s status for Game 2 in doubt. That has the Boston Celtics a bit peeved at the Magic entering the game in what should be a charged road environment.
But the Magic aren ot backing down. They felt the Celtics were more physical than them in the second half of Game 1. Orlando is vowing to compete and be even more physical in Game 2.
It makes for many combustible elements as the Magic try to even the series.

Magic must win tomorrow, they must!
If Tatum doesn't play and Brown's knee is acting up, the other 6 or 7 great players the Celtics have will step up.
I'm a Celtics fan and I've watched a lot of playoff basketball over the past 20 years or so, and game 1 didn't feel like a playoff game intensity from either team. I don't think the magic are exactly capable of initiating playoff intensity yet, they're too young. It's something I noticed with younger teams or trans that haven't been together very long, they tend to not have that second or third gear that long time playoff teams can bring out. I used to think the Celtics had that intensity when they were going to the ECF every year in the early Tatum and Brown years, but then I saw the 2022 finals and the way the warriors were able to just come out on a dime and just have everything pumping on all cylinders. It's something that teams get over years of playoff runs and having this or that thing exposed and seeing so much and learning what to do, it just can't be replicated in a practice. The magic look to me like they are coming out to play a national tv regular season game and not a playoff game. It's exactly what I expected from a 7 seed 2nd year playoff berth with a paid of young stars. The young Celtics got lucky playing teams like the 76ers and bucks (Tatum owns Giannis for whatever reason) whereas Orlando is getting the juggernaut in round 1. The magic will come back older and more refined and better next season. I honestly hope that the magic prove me wrong and make my Celtics give it their all because they're a fun team to watch in that mode, but it's been rare the last couple years since they've been so good. Got luck magic.
theyre just creating stories, he will definitely play
Better find consistent offense because if you don’t this game will be another lopsided affair
The glee in your voice when you say tatum hurt says everything we need to know about magic fans 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Oh please no “war”
Celtics will play there same low pro game and score more than an anemic magic team. Talking. Talking about hitting and physical is refuge of a desperate team with no offense
F the C’s. That was a clean hard foul and Tatum hurt himself going down. Toughen up bitches
Bottom line with or without Tatum magic role players need to step up if not the magic won't win
If you get nothing out the role players Boston can let Franz and Paolo go off and still win by 20
Can’t find roll players because even at the end of the season coach hasn’t sorted out the rotation.
We don’t need to become more physical against opposing players to win a game. Our team just needs to make shots. No matter the physicality. IF Orlando cannot shoot, physicality will NOT matter. Orlando just make your shots and you can make it a series.
If tatum doesn't play tonight we gotta take advantage of this brown already playing on a bruise knee ,we just gotta focus on white and brown, im not worried about prozingis dude is soft he just wanna shoot 3s
So you guys aren't good enough to Just Play BBall hunh? What goes around comes around.
Just because Celtics don’t pat themselves on the back talking about being physical, y’all think they can’t play physical. It’s almost like y’all are being introduced to the Celtics for the first time. Celtics can play ANY style of basketball. Half court, track meet, post play, 3pts shootout, physical. However you want to lose Celtics will make sure you get it. Y’all are clueless.
Unleash physical onslaught? Hyperbole and a sign that really means not talented enough. But if they want war, they better know that it will be reciprocated. Be careful what you wish for. Now, I understand you have nothing to talk about due to the difference in skill between these 2 teams. But don’t think outside of the facts to make yourself feel hopeful. Just wish for a fun game to watch.
Magic guards need to step up on offense. Mosley needs to double down n push guard play.
If Tatum doesn't play, our bench is solid. We've played without starters all season and won games. Tatum out and war will not guarantee a win for the Magic. The Magic still have to account for White and Pritchard which they clearly didn't do in Game 1, so an injury and whatever the hell "war" means guarantees nothing. Most people don't want to see injuries for either team. 🍀💚
Now when KCP gets clapped don’t say nun
We’re gonna need the Magic to give AB a lot more minutes & No reason Gary Harris still here except for locker room presence? Bro is cooked 😂
If you're right Phil. Suggs and Moe missing is huge. They are the type of players who thrive in these environments.
We're missing two key guys. Hoping we can have one of those games where we actually have some starters score more than 4 points. I know it only happens so often but we can hope.
Boston even with out JT is still a very good offense team, role players has to step up or its going to be a similar outcome or wrose
