INSTANT REACTION: Celtics lose to Orlando at home; Robert Williams returns



The Boston Celtics returned from their 6-game road trip to TD Garden, and were stunned by the Orlando Magic, 117-109. Robert Williams III returned for the first time this season. The Celtics shot poorly from 3 once again, and the young Magic never let Boston get close.

Amina Smith spoke exclusively with Joe Mazzulla after the game.

  1. We can’t win them all it happens we still the best team in the nba and best record

  2. man this loss is so painful. The celtics were getting big plays going down but when they got closer and closer to coming back, they couldn't get hit any open shots or they were making just dumb shot selections and turnovers. The celtics are 1-3 in their last 4 games and in the last 8 games, they have been struggling from 3 and tonight they shot less than 25% from the arc. They gotta get it together because now the top 6 teams in the east. And also u gotta give massive credit to the magic. They were just the better team tonight. They deserved to win this game when they were making big shots, getting offensive rebounds and 2nd chance points, moving the ball and overall just making open shots. Something the celtics unfortunately couldn't do. If the celtics make even 30% from 3, its most likely they would've won tonight. Hopefully we win our rematch on sunday at home again. #BLEEDGREEN

  3. This team ain’t making the finals again ands it’s all Udoka’s fault. This was a nice run by Mazzula to start the season but he isn’t the answer and the end result will show it. Thanks a lot Ime

  4. Eddie house? Who? A nobody that got lucky to be included in the Celtics line up once upon a time. Yeah a garbage team that beat the Celtics, the leader of the eastern conference standings.

  5. The Boston Celtics continue to ignore their lack of size in the paint. This is just a pream of an embarrassing blowout on Christmas Day.

  6. That black guy have a low IQ he don’t know what he’s talking about how the hell he got the job to talk about basketball? It the NBA there are talented players on every team if they are healthy anything can happen. The Magic team were young with many key players injured earlier in the season. Now they get their PG Markell Fultz back they went on a 5 games winning streak. It a surprised to those that don’t followed the Magic or don’t know the NBA but as someone that followed the Magic I’m not surprise

  7. Im interested to see the Celtics come into Sunday's game. IDC what anyone says, they are gonna feel the pressure to win that game more than most games they have had this year. And that is simply because they don't want to have lost to the "lowly" Magic in back to back games, while being so healthy at the same time. Its going to be a tough game because the Magic are gonna be playing with house money the whole time.

  8. Please send this to the Magic Players. Hopefully that will give them extra fire to shut Eddie Houses up. I guess he didn't realize that the Magic have been injured all season to the point. They are still missing their starting center due to injury, and their starting shooting guard. At one point this season all the guards were hurt. I am not making excuses but the teams record is not a true indication of how good they are.

  9. mazulla playing different starting line up,maybe creating confusion to his players. he should stick to 1 starters like udoka did last year

  10. Mr house sounds insecure about his team…just give Orlando the credit they deserve instead of constantly bringing up how Boston is a better team than Orlando. Everyone and they’re mamas know that.

  11. Eddie house needs to shut the F$#k up .. he's just still butt hurt about magic whipping bostons ass in 2009 . Eddie house is a trash ass mf. Boston barely beat magic this year with MOST of our players injured. Very unprofessional to call magic garbage . Magic been heavily injured all year.

  12. This is the maddening frustration of multiple players playing bad….. really hated to see us loose a game to a team we should of beat by 30+. Hopefully it makes the coaching easy to refocus and stop thinking you win by playing….. Also would like that ref suspended for 1 week no pay. As the NBA League office resending the tech is not enough anymore.

  13. Now Boston better come out and win Sunday cause they got Hella pressure to win. You can't lose back to back games to " bottom feeders " like the magic. I'm proud of the magic being a resilient team despite all the negative crap and hate they receive being a smaller market team.
