Game On! Celtics vs Magic March 21st, 2021

So it's come down to this - I have to start a game on thread here, because I'm not able to in the Game On section.

Oh Celtics, how low you have sunken.

Berlin-T

LOL..I think the game on section is under construction for some reason.

Tatum cut to the basket. Donnerwetter!

We have 0 ofefensive boards. Everyone running back instead of rebounding. Is Doc Rivers coaching this team by mental telepathy?
RW in. This should change, I hope!

Did Kemba not start?

PP and GW Oh boy

Yeah, KW started with Smart in the backcourt.

Celtics down by 4 after 1.

We're not exactly blowing them out.

Nesmith and Semi= white flag

Nesmith being iced out by his teammates again. They aren't even looking for him.

What a difference RWill nakes on the offensive boards. I like Theis, but it's another world when Rob hits the boards.

I have created a stripped down version of GYSO's Game On! thread in the usual Game On! part of the board.

We're starting to play with some intensity on defense resulting in a 6 pt. lead. Keep it up.

Not sure where to post so here it is copied over:

Ok so I have bot watched much from the last like 5-6 games. I aso tuned in for the 2Q.

But... So far it does not look bad tbh. Apart from a very immature chuck 3 from JB offense is as good as it can be from "dribble hand-off" only attack.

The defense... looks solid. Misses here and there, but solid effort so far. I am surprised the Celtics are up by only 6.

The reason is because they played pretty crappy defense in the 1st quarter.

He was making a big difference on defense as well just being the presence that intimidates from entering our paint that we have been missing the last ... not sure how many years, since we are starting Theis for sure perhaps longer.

Wish he could play a whole game... He has started really growing in the bubble I think and has only continued to mature this year. With more playing time he could have been our starting center and one of the best defensive ones if he can keep up the growing bbq on defense he is showing latey.

Now we're starting to play Celtics ball, great defense and moving the ball on offense. Can they keep it up for 48 minutes?

Up by 21. Funny how that happens when you move the ball and play defense.
