Pretty sure the refs will win this game. One more run and they are set.

Inconsistent whistling on both sides plus stupid techs to make that up?

[–] Brady331@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

dumb horford

[–] RandomerThanYours@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t like the Porzingis deep 3 unless he’s been shooting well in the game

#I love the ZINGUS 🦄

Just get Suggs out and put Isaac on Tatum Bruh

[–] doncisco1979@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Guarantee if this is close in the fourth, that’s how it goes. JI has a hard 15 minute restriction.

[–] mMounirM@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

it's easier to root for Suggs when he's not acting like a crackhead against the Raptors lol

[–] amr1115@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

tatum just yams his arms sideways into the defender and it’s a foul every time

[–] animajunky@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If the courts weren’t ugly everyone would call this tournament a success guys clearly play much harder imagine they up the prize money to 1 million

[–] RandomerThanYours@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hmmm 11-0 run, yeah why call a timeout let ‘em play

Not to get into sports betting talk but man do I regret betting Paulo’s over for rebounds. Dude just watches the ball come back to Earth 50% of the time unless it’s headed right toward him

[–] socalscribe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Franz heating up

Mazzula is the only coach in the NBA that sits on his timeouts like this. Like what the fuck new age idea does he think he’s onto

[–] AlwaysOptimism@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The guys need to learn how to fucking stop collapses vs teams like Charlotte and Orlando.

Let them deal during the regular season.

[–] JokicOrBust@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yea Mazzulla has learned nothing from last season. Letting that run go without a timeout is just bad coaching

[–] kindofjustalurker@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What was that 😭

[–] hanyou007@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Style on those clowns Suggs!

[–] shamwowslapchop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's amazing how fun the NBA is when the refs get out of the way.

How can you not be a fan of this Orlando team!?

[–] tooangryforsports@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This run is literally ref-fueled

We sure love falling apart in the 3rd

[–] Gamesgtd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hey, so do we

[–] ReedWilliams12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good, cuz typically it’s us

[–] animajunky@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This magic team is the truth

[–] anupsidedownpotato@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I've been watching Al horford for the last couple plays. Is his role "stand around and look busy"?

[–] animajunky@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Udoka with this celtics team goes 73-9

[–] growsonwalls@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This Magic team is hella fun.

[–] StalkingDwarf@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn ok Suggs

[–] Loud-Appointment-301@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mazzulla treats opposing teams' runs as some personal affront or a result of lack of focus, and chooses to punish his team with a "I'm not bailing you out" attitude. But sometimes the other team gets hot. Sometimes players need to refocus. It's stupid macho bullshit and just abdicates his responsibility as a coach.

[–] Loud-Appointment-301@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Like even Pop used to call timeouts for the Duncan/Parker/Ginobli teams to regroup. What are we really doing here?

[–] imrosskemp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Magic are funnnn

[–] GoldenStateofTime@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

was that the most expensive airball of all time?

[–] blallen88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

People who are blaming this on the players and not Mazzula—the players are rattled and Joe is doing nothing to intervene and settle them down. He is the only coach in the league under this delusion that players can just settle themselves down. Every single other coach will see a run and stop it, help everyone take a beat.

[–] frostysbox@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was surprised they kept him after last year - his coaching in the Miami games was super suspect and it seemed like he had lost control of the players - if he ever had it at all. I thought maybe it was just because he looked opposite of Spo who is one of the greatest of all time but I’m seeing him make these same mistakes against us.

The thing is the players are good enough to bail him out a lot of the times, but they are never going to win a championship if he keeps doing this .

[–] kylapoos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The players always say they’re leaders and brag about it.

Then play with 0 effort out of the half so yeah it is there fault

[–] Gamesgtd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This game is cursed with injuries. I just want to see what both squads fully healthy would look like against each other.

[–] Brady331@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We ended the run LFGGG

[–] thewrongnotes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Derrick White is the only smart player for the Celtics, everyone else just keeps jacking up difficult shots

[–] biinroii01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

kornet is smart

[–] Waesrdtfyg0987@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why was there a T back there?

[–] nikkynak@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

NO TINGUS PLEASE GOD

[–] biinroii01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

kp hurt? NOOOOOOO 😔

[–] harry_the_don@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You can always count on Porzingis getting injured

[–] ANAL_Devestate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

jaylen bro lmaooo

[–] Kid_Crayola@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

the calls have been fuckin absurd this game

[–] Brady331@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mo leads the league in FLOPS/36

[–] AffectionateStep5001@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Seems like a decent matchup for a Friday game

[–] biinroii01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
