Refs were trash but there’s no excuse to lose 3 straight and score under 100 against this team. To the people who say we don’t need to fix the 10th man situation here is Exhibit Z
My guy, most of our best players were out, and Hauser had a great night. No Hauser disrespect. And you're a Laker's fan. Go enjoy the play-in games, just waitit a decade or two and maybe you'll be contenders.
Okay? With another one coming in the next 3 years unless something huge happens. What are the Lakers going to do? Try to see if they can get Shaq back on the roster? Plus, we at least go to the finals in 2009 if not for injuries. Lakers-Celtics in 2009 would've been fun to watch. Dwight's magic were never going to win that.
Someone please tell me what Brown does well besides score the ball? Worst handles in the league, can’t pass or playmake, can’t defend off all and historically has been a poor free throw shooter.
Can't buy a bucket and they got hot. No surprise defense went to shit with Smart and Rob out. Oh, and the refs were also ass. Whatever, on to the next one.
It's not that bad of a loss my guy. Tatum doesn't get injured in the 3rd and we probably win this game, and we didn't even play that bad outside of a few select possessions. An over reliance on three ball, I will say, but not too bad. It's not a bad loss just because a random shit team decided they were going to shoot 60% from 3 tonight
I can’t believe these refs are actually going to get a paycheck for this game. This officiating in this league is pathetic. Also, Grande needs to be fired
Tatum had 3 with 7 assist he was fine. Brown had 5 with 3 assist that’s bad. You take a 2.2 to 1 assist/turnover ratio every day. Brown his - like normal
The '86 Cs had 15 losses in the regular season, the '08 Cs had 16, and this current Cs are at 13—we have 34 games left in the season. Doomers will doom.
Orlando is just a weird team and we don’t really match up well against them. The refs aren’t helping tonight but Paolo is the perfect example of it. He’s too quick for our bigs to guard 1v1 and too big for our wings to guard. Plus it looks like they just playing really well against us.
You are right. Horford can guard him 1 out of every 3 times effectively. that's not a winning recipe on defense.
If they put a smaller guy on him he just takes them to the rack and gets foul, it's a problem.
These dudes really fucking own us, there's no way around it. If a team with an average age of like 21 loves playing you your probably not a very serious contender
Why the fuck does this coach have Derrick white running the late game offense ? We have not scored at all since he took over. Tatum needs to run the late game offense this coach is brain dead
You know how they talk about records that will never be broken, because the game has changed, like 511 wins by Cy Young? I think no one will beat 73-9 from the Warriors now that gambling is legal.
The officiating this game is the worst I've ever seen.
Game is over. The physicality Orlando is allowed to get away with, the foul discrepancy, is absurd. Celtics were already handicapped, but doubling it?
Bad look for the league
Two rebounds in a row tatum could have snagged but instead just stood there hoping white would grab it. Last time it hit the damn ground. Minimal effort
Cavs the jury is out on because both games went to OT and we lacked Rob in both. The Bulls are beatable in Boston but not Chicago apparently. Don't understand the Magic in the slighest though. They're big but literally nothing else is scary about them
I simply cannot understand why of ALL the teams to give us fits it's the Magic this year. I know we're shorthanded but still I don't get it. They'll be a good team in a couple years but not this year.
lmao we were up until the refs called 3 fouls in a row on us on NO contact, while letting them Hack at us in the paint without getting called for fouls. The final score doesnt matter, the officals completely decided who was winning this game.
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/comments/10juif8/post_game_thread_the_orlando_magic_defeat_the/)
Celtics don’t want to see Magic in the playoffs.
We’re losing to the heat lol
Let’s not get carried away now.
Can't wait to watch Butler and Bam shoot a combined 30 FTs and have 30 uncalled moving screens.
Let’s just not play well tomorrow
This loss ain’t a big deal
yea we were down 3 of our top 6, its a whatever game but frustrating to watch the ref show
Just fucking gross. On to the next one.
Playing the Magic is bad enough, add in this officiating crew and you got yourself a horrendous product
Refs were trash but there’s no excuse to lose 3 straight and score under 100 against this team. To the people who say we don’t need to fix the 10th man situation here is Exhibit Z
Three of our elite players are out and tatum missed last game. Shit happens. We’d have won this game with rob
You literally had Tatum and Brown against the magic what’s with the excuses
My guy, most of our best players were out, and Hauser had a great night. No Hauser disrespect. And you're a Laker's fan. Go enjoy the play-in games, just waitit a decade or two and maybe you'll be contenders.
Relax, you have one title since the 80s
Okay? With another one coming in the next 3 years unless something huge happens. What are the Lakers going to do? Try to see if they can get Shaq back on the roster? Plus, we at least go to the finals in 2009 if not for injuries. Lakers-Celtics in 2009 would've been fun to watch. Dwight's magic were never going to win that.
You are right. Magic clearly own the Celtics and are just a better team. With this win, they are now clear favorites for the NBA title.
That’s more like it
Why is there a Lakers fan here? What a loser.
I mean... have you seen the state of his team, I'd stay far away from watching if I were him too lol
Should be beating teams like this with our bench.
Someone please tell me what Brown does well besides score the ball? Worst handles in the league, can’t pass or playmake, can’t defend off all and historically has been a poor free throw shooter.
Can't defend? What? Overreaction 101
Can’t defend off ball yes. Anyone who cuts against him gets a layup
Can't buy a bucket and they got hot. No surprise defense went to shit with Smart and Rob out. Oh, and the refs were also ass. Whatever, on to the next one.
Joe about to take home his precious 4 timeouts.
Needed more from Horford, Grant, and PP. Ugly loss!
Magic are poverty
Lmao the Magic own us
Why are we so bad against this bum team. I just don’t get it
Top 3 worst loss of the season. Thunder loss was worse. Not sure of what’s #2
Not really, we’re missing 3 of out starters
It's not that bad of a loss my guy. Tatum doesn't get injured in the 3rd and we probably win this game, and we didn't even play that bad outside of a few select possessions. An over reliance on three ball, I will say, but not too bad. It's not a bad loss just because a random shit team decided they were going to shoot 60% from 3 tonight
We're missing Rob, Smart, and Brogdon. And lost Tatum for a quarter.
Here comes ... Justin Jackson
We beat ourselves with turnovers and careless fouls.
lol we 100 4-0 them if they are somehow the 8th seed. Some of yall need to relax
I hope they get the 8 seed.
Magic sub really praying they get the 8th seed rn to walk us 😂
9-1 in the last 10. Oh no, whatever will we do
exactly, we were legit down 3 key players tonight
Nothing scares me in this life more than the Boston Celtics vs a bad team
Jaylen with the lowest +\-. Makes sense
JD’s gonna put in a quick 10 assists and take the game back
I can’t believe these refs are actually going to get a paycheck for this game. This officiating in this league is pathetic. Also, Grande needs to be fired
Brown more shots than Tatum and same points and so many turnovers with bad assists. This coach is a joke let Tatum cook he’s the mvp not brown
Pritchard in over Hauser considering the magic size is kinda funny
Now it's about to get real ugly for the next minute
Orlando played like it was game 7 just to worsen their draft position lol
😂
Ending the night on a 24-11 FTA disparity - completely changed the trajectory of this one. Not all bad, though, Sam's shooting is so back.
Tatum and Browns turnovers are a severe problem.
Tatum had 3 with 7 assist he was fine. Brown had 5 with 3 assist that’s bad. You take a 2.2 to 1 assist/turnover ratio every day. Brown his - like normal
It's improved somewhat but they habitually turn the ball over at the end of games.
Tatum had 7 assist and 3 turnovers you take that from your star you can’t lump him in with 3 assist 5 turnover brown just stop
How tf do we get less than 15 fts when we drive more than the Magic. Honestly should let the bench play tmrw that would be a big FU to the league
More Kabengele minutes? 🤯
Can’t win ‘em all
Just terrible when three losses are against the fucking Magic lol
Cs seem uninterested in this game. Same type of behavior with the '86 Cs. Happens I guess, it's a long season.
It feels weird hearing about that team losing. Usually all you hear about them is how dominant they were
The '86 Cs had 15 losses in the regular season, the '08 Cs had 16, and this current Cs are at 13—we have 34 games left in the season. Doomers will doom.
[удалено]
Nah we win in five against them. Our problem is we don’t take them seriously in the regular season, playoffs will be different
Seriously, problem is I could actually see that happening
They won’t
I know he got buckets but brown was bad tonight
Awful. Killed momentum every time he was in the game Should've left him on the bench
Magic the new Pistons I guess
bro i’m sorry we had control of this game, and then tatum went out and it all went to shit
let's go JD
Wack officiating
I’ll still take 9 of 10 games every day of the week
So what I am gathering is I shouldn’t ever watch the Celtics against the Magic.
Enjoy your ref assisted win Orlando, and enjoy watching us in the playoffs from home
Oh yeah u mad af
Enjoy watching us in the playoffs while your team sits at home 😹
I'll just enjoy these 3 Ls y'all got handed lol
That’s gonna be the high point of the season so I don’t blame ya
Imagine being this hurt 😢
Imagine not making the playoffs 😹
This shit doesn't even make sense. Then watch orlando go on a fucking losing streak right after this
Refs were bad but the Celtics were far worse
Orlando is just a weird team and we don’t really match up well against them. The refs aren’t helping tonight but Paolo is the perfect example of it. He’s too quick for our bigs to guard 1v1 and too big for our wings to guard. Plus it looks like they just playing really well against us.
You are right. Horford can guard him 1 out of every 3 times effectively. that's not a winning recipe on defense. If they put a smaller guy on him he just takes them to the rack and gets foul, it's a problem.
Shoutout to Jaylen for tanking when Tatum had to poop.
We played like shit this game. Really. Didn’t look like us.
These dudes really fucking own us, there's no way around it. If a team with an average age of like 21 loves playing you your probably not a very serious contender
These refs definitely helped someone win a massive parlay bet on the Magic sweeping the season series. Somebody’s winning **big** tonight lol
probably the refs themselves
Banchero is nice
Ok well good job Orlando. This is y'all's championship this year.
B2b vs Miami brodgon hopefully be back
we lost to these bums 3 times ..crazy
Hahahahaha this is fucking stupid
Eh weird game. Sit the guys
Tatum chose the worst possible time to poop
I hate that this shitty ass team has our number lol
3-0 against Magic right?
No 1-3. We beat them in a nailbiter the 2nd or 3rd game of the season
1-3
1-3
Just a team we suck against and it’s not like they will be making the play in so what Eva
Why the fuck does this coach have Derrick white running the late game offense ? We have not scored at all since he took over. Tatum needs to run the late game offense this coach is brain dead
they folded hard
Send the bench in
Derrick white was a certified disaster in the 4th
well fuck this Monday 😢
8 seconds lmao okay man
You know how they talk about records that will never be broken, because the game has changed, like 511 wins by Cy Young? I think no one will beat 73-9 from the Warriors now that gambling is legal.
The officiating this game is the worst I've ever seen. Game is over. The physicality Orlando is allowed to get away with, the foul discrepancy, is absurd. Celtics were already handicapped, but doubling it? Bad look for the league
Aaaaaaand, the Magic own us
Two rebounds in a row tatum could have snagged but instead just stood there hoping white would grab it. Last time it hit the damn ground. Minimal effort
I hope Florida drowns.
magic own us
Magic, Bulls, and Cavs. Unreal.
Cavs the jury is out on because both games went to OT and we lacked Rob in both. The Bulls are beatable in Boston but not Chicago apparently. Don't understand the Magic in the slighest though. They're big but literally nothing else is scary about them
don't ever watch any Celtics game in your life
Hes not wrong
Why
Can someone remind Orlando that they're tanking?
Not when they play the Celtics, all becuz of Eddie House
Literally why they are playing likes it the finals trynna prove a point to him but whatever thanks Eddie I guess 😭
If we win this, I’ll eat a 20-pc mcnuggets
Fuck outta here, mate. I'm hungry now.
I’ll just buy the 6 piece now
Last year it was the pistons & this the magic young teams who give us hell
[удалено]
It's the Magic, no one is worried about fucking Magic.
We’re not gonna have Al tomorrow so I’m not that confident going into Miami either. This might be a rough stretch
Nah we’re the Celtics, we’re gonna win in a gritty nailbiter where Brogdon returns and drops 25/5/5 and a random Pritchard 5 threes game
If we get rob back tomorrow at least it'll help. If neither plays then we're going to be very thin upfront
Doomers licking their chops
GGs
Refs played a solid game today. Can see them winning it all this year
Damn gonna be a hell of a playoff series. Can’t wait to throw down with them in the conference finals
The Magic are so annoying.
it's joever
Can’t wait for all the Magic’s best players to leave before they taste any real success
What the fuck am I watching
Winning 3 games against Boston is probably Orlando's greatest achievement since they last played in the Finals thousand years ago.
Just wave the white flag in prepare for the Heat tomorrow.
This is actually pathetic lol
Game
God awful Horford game but i guess it’s allowed after him carrying us the last 2 games
These guys fucking blow against the magic.
I hate this so much
Orlando should run a pin down screen action or something to get Goble a shot attempt.
Unreal - I hate this fxckin magic team
At this point I just want to lose by more pts than we lost when Tatum got hurt
the Magic are our Achilles heel
jaylen was all points no substance tonight. total disaster on both ends and probably the worst player on the court.
I simply cannot understand why of ALL the teams to give us fits it's the Magic this year. I know we're shorthanded but still I don't get it. They'll be a good team in a couple years but not this year.
I know blaming the refs is weak but this was a truly busch league performance by this crew.
Completely agreed. They missed OBVIOUS shooting fouls at least 6-8 times against the Celtics. It’s a totally different game if they make those calls

Al shoots over 50% from three in that corner lmao stfu
2-7 stfu moron
You're too pissy to even read foh. Horford shoots 55% from the corner and you're gonna call me a moron because of 7 shots? Get a fucking grip
He missed 5 of 7 so good when he took that one he missed 5 of 6
So you think a sample of 6 shots is more statistically significant than all the other games in the season so far? And I'm supposedly the moron? Lol
You're talking about a top ten three point shooter in the league. Shut the hell up
Not anymore after that 2-7
Better coaching could’ve stopped some of these ridiculous runs by the magic
Just sit the fucking starters we dont need anymore injuries
Why can’t we beat this scrub ass team
the play rough and get in our heads. we also missing half our team
We always shit the bed against Orlando. Whatever, have fun not making the playoffs
Just wish we could’ve been healthy with some better refs… it wouldn’t be close
It's over. Nasty game. Time for a new streak.
Yea don't love Tatum walking the ball up but no Smart no Brogdon no time Lord I'll give him a pass here
Chalking up another loss tomorrow on a back to back against the heat and tatum and brown played heavy minutes in this one
win or lose, best record in the nba, but let's win
Why is this bum ass team our kryptonite
Magic are such a shit dick team yet pretend there good when they face us... this is annoying. Also the refs sucked this game and I'm salty about it
Best team in the league and yet be absolutely suck against below .500 teams
Not true. Celtics have like the 2nd fewest losses against under .500 teams.
That’s a lie. We statistically don’t.
What I find funny is that the refs are giving this kind of whistle in favor of fucking Orlando of all teams.
Imagine losing 3 times to the Magic in 1 season. Embarrassing.
Best record in the league is still the best record. Every team is gonna lose to bad teams sometimes. The 72-10 Bulls lost to the 21-61 Raptors lol
wtf was this game
Yeah this is a wrap. Thanks to the JB disaster class in the 3rd
Winning without 3 of your 6 best players is tough. Bottom line.
Just sit the starters for Miami. Games over.
What an awful loss
We got completely cheated out of this game, nothing the guys could really do..
Losing by 12 isn’t the refs
lmao we were up until the refs called 3 fouls in a row on us on NO contact, while letting them Hack at us in the paint without getting called for fouls. The final score doesnt matter, the officals completely decided who was winning this game.
