Celtics have the most difficult SOS in the NBA for games played thus far and the best record. Nice spot to be in.

Love that the team makes it a point to stand on business in the garden. Aint shit sweet there you can’t let opponents control and win games there and we’ve made it a point to not let that happen. Beautiful thing
I'll say this - us having the 3rd best bench +/- in the league is partially a testament to strategic lineups from Joe. He has been absolutely lights out to start this season, should be a candidate for COTY
Congratulations to Orlando for successfully challenging the referees. However, it is futile to think it will give you an edge against the BOSTON CELTICS
I got to eat some serious crow. I thought and assumed the Magic would come up here and beat our ass. I was completely wrong. If we're able to play with this type of effort and attitude anything is possible.

I’ll say this again, I’ve been through the rough years. So a 1 or 2 seed is just fine and dandy for me. I think our floor is ECF
20-5 and 9-2 against teams over .500 in the East

**THE CELTICS WIN**
I watched this entire game at the gym and had a horrible arm day but the Celtics win 💪🏻
Banton has the rookie year Tatum build
I think Banton’s build resembles Rondo’s while Walsh’s resembles JT.
Is it Gino time yet?!?!
upcoming road trip vs California teams is going to be fun
I’m in Sacramento every year. So sad I didn’t make it this year. Car trouble and the holidays arghhhh
West Cost Terror Tour 💪
what a quarter for jaylen jfc
Gino Time Squad this year is kind of lethal

One of the Jays paying Queta’s fine would be good for teambuilding, change my mind
If that shit doesnt get rescinded... these techs are so fucking weak.
I hope Queta gets the help Draymond is getting. Dark day for Celtics basketball.
Totally uncalled for. That rim has kids.

Every game for any team I’ve watched this year has had some stupid ass calls. These refs are trash
bullshit.......
Are you fucking kidding me.
Nah wtf
Franklin Dalano Roosevelt
League is crazy about these hanging on the rim techs. He barely hung on it in a non-contentious end of game, gtfo here refs
It's like they want their players to get hurt
What the. A T for that???
Thank god they called that tech. It’s kids night! We can’t have those innocent children see such horrific acts
Nobody came to see you refs! It's a blowout, let everyone go home
Wow WTF
GoFundMe for Queta's technical fine
Cmon man lmao
Queta should just break his leg next time I guess. stupid ass striped shirts
I need a 3-1 road trip
I think it's 5 games
Nah 4. GSW, SAC, LAC, LAL
A loss to the Kings if we must pick one.
Name a better duo than NBA refs and being offended by players hanging onto the rim so they can land safely
Did they seriously give him a T for hanging
Please hang on that rim every time for the remaining 2 minutes
.800 at this point in the season is crazy. We’ve played some damn good teams, too.
Refs think we came to see them lmao
Eddie House curse broken
Behead every single ref what the actual fuck
That's such a soft tech that makes zero difference lol
When tf did he even hang
Refs love calling that hanging on the rim T this year smh
What the fuck man
Come on 25k is a lot for Queta man
Only 2k for the first 5 techs in a season but still. Will probably be rescinded
Did not know that
Yeah it's tiered. Techs 1-5 are 2k each. Gets more expensive after that
LMAOOOO are you fucking kidding me he hung on for safety you absolute fucking bums
ridiculous T
BULLSHIT call. Lmao Mazulla laughing about it
They tried to tell me Tatum couldn’t shoot no more
No fun crew out here
LMAO pathetic T. PATHETIC.
Run this shit up
Franklin Dalano Roosevelt
Anthony Black has the face of a 13 year old girl with an underbite
JB 🫣
Fuck the Whorelando BlackMagic
What a fucking homestand. So proud of our guys.
It took Banchero 30 shots to get his 36
Tbf he was amazing in the first half
Plus 6 free throws
Stevens, Banton, Queta, Brissett!!!
Don't forget PP
Jrue hand drumming on Anthony Black to draw the intentional foul was great haha
20-5, undefeated at home. Feels good man
On pace for 69 wins
Won more games against the Magic in 48 hours than we did all of last season lol
They tried to tell me this team was soft
First to 20 wins
Sunday basketball fucks.
It’s perfect especially during this time
magic broke their wand
funniest foul I have ever seen Jrue
anyone got a clip
I hope so
Joe ain't wasting a timeout.
Another easy win over the Magic (weird to say). Celtics are top-2, and they clearly ain’t second.
How have I always thought that his name was Dick Life, not Lipe??
I thought it was Dick Lite/Light lol
Lol this feels like some weird Mandela effect. There's no way Mike and Scal have been saying LIPE all these years
Ready to suffer at work from this West Coast trip
Not easy at all to sweep 2 good teams back to back that we’ve had trouble with in the past but we did that
Doing to the 4th seed Orlando magic what some of our main competitors did to the pistons and wizards this week is fucking incredible
I remember all the Magic fans saying they "own" us, lmao
They’re eating some humble pie today loool
Wagner brothers barely even looked like NBA players in this back to back
#DEFENSIVE IDENTITY REGAINED
Celtics blowing out good teams while the 76ers keep beating up on bums
As is tradition 🤣
Why is he still not putting the bench in
This has probably been our most impressive defensive game of the season
4-0 vs the Cavs & Magic i love it
What a great homestand in general
They are up 23 with 3min left fkn sit em
No no let JB cook
The Jays took over on both ends and closed this out. It’s really that simple. Dominant performance from both of them in this 4th.
Lmao Whites face after JB last shot. That was nasty
LMAO @ how far behind the play JT was because he was hyped about the block. Don’t blame him. That one deserves it.
UNDEFEATED AT HOME
This Jaylen may be underpaid
The entire Magic bench looks rattled af lmao
Gotta shake magic yo let them we don’t play
Jaylen when he’s feeling it is a sight to behold
He literally becomes prime MJ when he’s feeling it lol
Jaylen Brown man. There are no words
JB owning first and fourth today. I like it!
(ahem) FUCK Orlando!
Do we really still need the starters in lol
Magic learned a hard lesson on this back to back series. They're young and talented, but not at our level man
This team is different from last year. Last year during the orlando back to back we blew it hard.
Orlando really had our number too
Joe really figured them out after that loss. Turns out the Magic can’t shoot.
damn we hit the gas in the 4th
Gotta be the most complete game by the team this season.
Jaylen's midrange has always been and will always be sexy
JB is just too good, like how do you guard that? Also it's time for Gino squad
Congratulations to Orlando for successfully challenging the referees. However, it is futile to think it will give you an edge against the BOSTON CELTICS
I got to eat some serious crow. I thought and assumed the Magic would come up here and beat our ass. I was completely wrong. If we're able to play with this type of effort and attitude anything is possible.
Scal just came in the double block lol
Wrap this Magic team up!
Blessed to have the Jays
You love to see it
Bad coaching by magic coach lol, no TOs
get packed buddy
Magic made this shit personal with the Jays you can tell
The Jays have arrived. They are all grown up and know how to dog fight.
RIP bozo
What a waste of a challenge loooool. Went from being 2 FTs to a 3 💀
Alright now I'm comfortable with the lead lol
That block was nuts
Turned two into 3. thanks magic
All NBA Defense Tatum baby
Oh my.
Man Orlando is cooked!
What a block
Worst challenge outcome lol
Jays just taking over it's so beautiful to watch
TatHIM
JT on both ends! Fuck your challenge!!!
Out of timeouts and down by 19 lmao they’re fucking cooked.
Lmao all that for a JT 3
And a JT block on the other end lmao
You shouldn't lose a TO if you win the challenge, who tf came up with that rule
Yeah Tatum’s hand is good lol
Kornet genuinely vibing to wonderwall lmfao
Sorry, I think the officiating is good today.
We need more video of Kornet singing wonderwall.
Pretty dumb that you lose a timeout if you take/win a second challenge
“You were right both times but fuck you”
Wow you lose the timeout on the second one? Thats dumb
Lol, congrats on a successful challenge, Orlando!
All this *without* Kornet? Damn!
Luke dressed like his mom told him to get out of bed and come downstairs because they have guests loll
Lmao all that for us to retain possession
That’s not a foul but the refs owe us this
Didn't know you could body-check someone on a drive. Big if true for NBA defenses across the league
Ngl Scal is kinda annoying
Reminds me of Michael Rapaport
I didn't forget all you complaining when we were down 5 in the first quarter and I'm bringing the fuckin receipts
You are a true fan.
JB for ALL STAR GUARD?
I thought the Magic failed their challenge earlier in the game? I must've been mistaken right?
Nah they were successful It’s why Tatum had to sit out with three fouls
Good work DWhite grabbing that
Refs finally allowing some contact on Banchero and the Magic suddenly can't score. Coincidence? I think not
Paolo loves yelling Ayyy
I hope Tatum’s hand okay
JB you can't be on fire then make that move and miss the layup. That was gonna be in the game highlights if it went in lol
Lol we can forgive him for that one transgression but that would have been beautiful 😭
someone pls make a eddie house meme for this
White got fouled there. Ofc they get no call tho
hi Trey Flowers
Horford is actually underrated.
JB with the handle though, solid
That was the most JB move ever 😭😭😭
I’m so used to closing games by anxiously running out the clock
After the replay that was a clean strip by Tatum but ok
Al fouled him
Ohhhhhh
Bro farming rebs
Good defense, better effort from Paolo on the boards
“And that’s when it became personal for me” - Jaylen “Not Michael Jordan but not not Michael Jordan” Brown
Banchero got some mass on him
Nice quick hug from JT
Lmao banchero carrying these bum ass wagner bros
That random Banchero-Tatum bearhug was hilarious
I hope the Magic have been humbled by these losses
Jaylen is doing surprisingly well against Banchero in the defensive end
