The Boston Celtics were without Jrue Holiday (ankle) for this game, but they still looked good for most of the first half. Then the second half happened and it just looked like Orlando was the tougher team. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal gets into what happened, the loss of Kristaps Porzingis, Joe Mazzulla’s lack of a timeout during the third quarter 17-0 run, and more.

Sorry for not commenting on the podcast as of late John I have been sleeping but I'm still listening to it ☘️☘️☘️
Chicago Illinois rocks with this 😎 content. Dont know why the Celtics are having problems with the Magic 🪄. "They had a nice lead" well then, they should work harder to keep that lead.
Wasn't surprised they lost this one. That Mickey Mouse Magic team is really good. Let's give them credit. No excuses
Always vs Orlando man
Looked like Jay King and the fellas out there second half
Whenever Boston plays against Magic, I have a feeling of two friends playing ball and that one friend is always more competitive therefore he wins than main character of the story. I do like when Magic teaches a lesson to Boston on how to be tough. I'd rather see Boston lose to Magic in regular season than to Warriors or Heat. Of course that would be a story to see playoff series between these two teams 😅😅😅
Tough loss more like they Embarrassed themselves, lotta work to do
every coach in basketball history would coached like Joe- he does not manage the game- when you defend his poor unorthodox coaching you lose your credibility- – watch the Knicksvs Miami game and watch how a real coach like Thibodeaux coaches and maybe you and Joie will learn something
I am more concerned with Browns groin affecting his jump shot, Whites elbow Contusion , Holidays ankle, and Porzingis’ left calf. What a time for everything to come at once.
This game shows how much we missed Jrue Holiday's huge defense.

I've seen enough. I want Jaylen gone. I've watched him do the same stupid stuff his whole career. I'm over it.
Thanks for the podcast John! Despite the loss I can look forward to the podcast. I just saw Lil Uzi Vert at MGM concert hall. Not all things are bad 😎
We have now lost 4 straight to the Orlando Magic. The last 2 being 113-98 and 113-96 so we didnt seem to make the correct adjustments after the 113-98 loss
They got punked like a little kid getting his lunch money taken. Celts looked good in the 1st half, then they let up and let Orlando do whatever they wanted in the second half. They keep saying in postgame “we have to learn from it and get better” or something like that. Yet that softness they showed last year, especially in G7 vs Miami, continues to rear its ugly head. Kudos to Orlando. They got all the 50/50 balls, hustled and were just flat out tougher-they had Boston scrambling to regain composure. Anyway hopefully KP is ok-sounds like he is. These guys have the talent, but they STINK at closing out teams. That has to change. Oh and does anyone give a fck about this stupid tournament? What a waste of time and energy. Thank you John.☘️🔒
JOHN TAKE THIS PREDICTION
IST FINALS IS CELTICS VS LAKERS
NBA IS (RIGGED)DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO GET THE HIGHEST TV DEALS.
IF WE WIN A DOMINANT 40+ POINT VS BULLS, C'S GETS THE WILDCARD (4TH SPOT) ON EAST IST. IF BUCKS HAVE A 4-0 RECORD, #1 VS #4 BUCKS -CELTICS REMATCH AGAIN 😂😂😂
Jt kept BALL WATCHING GIVING UP EASY OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS
Say what you want about "toughness" but the NBA is going to have trouble with this team the C's played, it's not going to be good and there will be lot's of fines. I will take a win or loss against a real opponent like the Bucks even the Hornets. But this team just wants to win by injuring other teams players.
This made me realize that if kristaps is out this offense turns stagnant. We might have a problem. Idk if he can handle a season plus playoffs. Idk if I see it turning out. The odds aren’t in our favor. Unfortunately. Not getting my hopes up at all. Not discrediting the magic but all of our chips are in one 7’3” injury prone basket.
