INSTANT REACTION: Celtics 'caught sleepwalking' vs Magic; drop 3rd game in four meetings this season



Brian Scalabrine and Eddie House join Tom Giles to offer instant reaction and analysis following the Boston Celtics’ 113-98 loss to the Orlando Magic. The shorthanded Celtics were unable to overcome multiple stretches of poor shooting, including scoring only three points in the final six minutes, against a hungry, young Magic team.

  1. This does not bode well at all… If a bad team like the Magic can figure out a way to easily beat this team three times in a row then what's gonna happen when we get to the playoffs? Are the Sixers, Bucks, or Nets just gonna copy the Magic's playbook and sweep us!? Something's gotta change… 😟

  2. Eddie. You keep talking about the “25 other teams”. But you look really bad cause this team keep whooping YOUR Celtics.

  3. Missing a lot of our D: Smart, Timelord, Brogdon. It's one game. Hoping our guys get back to healthy. On to the next. ☘

  4. It was all about bad defense for the celtics i dont get how coul you lose to them three times when you are a number one seeded team.

  5. You cannot lose to a team who has only won 18 games , and now has beaten you 3 times in a row, totally unacceptable for a team that has championship aspirations, better hope we don't face them in the playoffs in the first round

  6. Yes, it seems like the Orlando Magic got our number for some reason. I know we were down three players, but we still got outplayed.

  7. JB was minus 20. the biggest minus on the team…. but hey he scores 26 ppg and that is so so rare in the NBA!

  8. What’s gets lost in this Eddie house trashing the magic for their record. First 25 games of the season, magic didn’t have a PG. not a single PG on the roster. So now that Fultz and Cole are back, it’s a more complete team and I believe the magic have a winning record since Fultz have returned. It’s a young talented team but every nba player has proud and you don’t talk down on a team like he did before. It’s like pulling teeth for him to give the Magic credit for beating the Celtics 3 outta 4

  9. Scal opens the door to get House to open his mouth.

    As a Magic fan I was encouraged by House’s comments. He was actually being respectful.

    I know it’s a long shot but a first round meeting between our teams 1 vs 8 isn’t impossible.

  10. Thank you Eddie House for continuously running your mouth and inspiring our Magic team to kick Celtic ass.

  11. The Magic are a bad matchup with their physicality, size and intelligence. None of the losses were accidents. Timelord's absence was especially impactful.

  12. Thank God we dont play Orlando 82 times or we would probably be 0-82. How come the magic whip us all season but they stink.

  13. I have to agree with Eddie House on this take. I think Brian is giving the Magic way too much credit. They are a long rangy team, but they are not a particularly good shooting team. I seen enough of their games to know they are too inconsistent on offense and defense to be a good team overall. They do play hard and hustle on every game, but I do not think they have the talent to be a playoff team. Maybe next year or in a few years, they will be a playoff team. The Celtics were under-manned without Timelord, Malcolm, Smart, and Tatum was out for some time even tho he did come back. The Celtics missed shots they would normally make in all 3 losses against the Magic. And it seems the Magic shot very well in all 3 games. Odds are things will even out in the end. Boston are a better team offensively and defensively and I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Magic the few times they meet.

  14. Celtics aren’t championship team we are 0-4 against the magic they still aren’t ready yet

  15. From cold to hot weather could be tough for the body, jk idk lol if they had time to go golfing before this matchup like they did before Phoenix, then i say they take the dub lol They seemed to play lackadaisical in this one, though, as they do with lottery teams 👀🤔…next game 💪🏽💪🏽☘️

  16. The only thing holding the Magic back is a couple shooters and youth. Once this team learns how to win they will be a dominant team. The future is exciting and be careful as we might just get into the playoffs.
