Boston Celtics go ice cold, lose to Orlando Magic again



The Boston Celtics were ice cold from 3 once again, and they again lost at home to the Orlando Magic. They didn’t have Jayson Tatum and they are still working Robert Williams back into the lineup, but they are starting to show signs of the bad play they displayed in the past. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal gets into all that and a look at just how bad some of the shooting has gotten … and the choice the Celtics have to make to get back on track.

  1. Just wondering if these trades are realistic.

    Luke Kornet + Payton Pritchard + picks for PJ Washington

    Grant Williams + Danilo Gallinari + picks for Jakob Poeltl ( Danilo sent to 3rd team )

    Timelord Horford Tatum Brown Smart
    Poeltl Washington Hauser White Brogdon
    Griffin Kaba Vonleh Jackson Davidson

    Poeltl because of the presence he will bring, interior defense, screens etc ( huge upgrade over Kornet )

    Washington because he is a big who creates space and can playmake ( upgrade over Grant ? )

  2. They look like they got impressed with themselves. Lost 4out of the last 5 and should have lost the fifth one (lakers) too. Chucking up 3’s early in possessions, lazy passes, standing around watching and waiting for the Jay’s to try and score 70 and they don’t have the stellar D to bail them out when they’re cold offensively like last year. Their percentage was so good because the shots came off screens hard cuts and in rhythm when the shooters were catch and shoot in motion not standing still and waiting for the ball to come to them off a bail out pass

  3. They seem afraid lately to drive in the ball and dunk or layup. They go for 3 pt shots but keep missing. Too much hero ball.

  4. Live by that three and die by it baby. Ugh. Another night where we just assume we’ll win because we’ve had a little success so far. Orlando had 1 road victory coming into the last two games in our building. ONE. And they came in and embarrassed us on our home floor twice. The most frustrating part of this is that yesterday the Magic had no answer for Grant when he took it to the rack. They were literally moving out of the way. Yet instead of exploiting that, Boston continued to chuck up threes or Jaylen would take a forced fadeaway. It’s simple things like that. Also these guys don’t do well w/adversity. It’s as if when a little pressure comes they panic & make poor choices. Milwaukee is licking their chops ahead of Christmas. Let’s see how our boys do in the most anticipated reg season game since GSW…thanks John.
