So we gonna pretend the Celtics didn't get cheated out of .5 seconds? Should've been at least .8 on the clock.

Just wait til Ingram comes back next season.

Would be interesting to see him lift toronto outta lottery.

They should've gotten more time. I slowed down the video by 75% and Tatum got the rebound with at LEAST 1.4 left, maybe even 1.5. Horford called for timeout with 0.9 left. It could've came sooner from the bench area too.

The officials didn't even go to the monitors to look at it.

Holiday is out again tonight.

As much attention as is going to the officiating the main reason the Celtics lost was that 11 point 3rd quarter. Just can't have a team-wide collapse of that magnitude. Not putting all or even most of it on him but thinking about it, qit has been a while since the last time Sam Hauser had a hot shooting night. He's a better player than what we've seen but more than any other Celtic his value on the court is tied into hitting threes. Hope he can get it going.

Any idea why this thread was closed right after you posted in it?

Banchero out here with 25 shots taken and we've still got 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter lol

As Stan pointed out, the Celtics have completely gone away from the KP rim run for no apparent reason.

I've been calling for them to do more of that since they got him in 2023, they finally figured out after Game 3 of their 2025 first round playoff series that it might be useful.

It worked to productive effect for a half, and then they just stopped. I know he's sat a lot due to foul trouble but they didnt even look for it during the minutes he has played in the second half.

I remember the days when KP was known as a tweener now everyone is a tweener.

Now we have the tweener of tweener who's 7'4".

Magic crowd is embarrassing.

Magic are down 2-1 in the series.

Your team is down 3-points and they have the ball with 4 minutes left.

This could be the last time you see your team this season because if they lose this game they're probably going to go back to Boston to get eliminated.

Crowd quiet as mouse when the Magic were on offense.

Tatum flopping

Tatum flopping

Hes doing mamba mentality tonight as usual. The shots are falling enough to likely get this win tonight, but I'm liking the Cavs more and more in that looming matchup.

Magic making a bunch of rookie mistakes. You can see the worry in their faces so maybe they just need more experience
