Now the C's gotta foul, and the Magic have been money from the line.

Hell of a homestand so far.

It doesn't help that the Magic make every fucking free throw they take.

The regression from best offense of all time to... not best offense of all time has been rough. The in-game coaching continues to be questionable in close games.

Los Angeles by way of Roxbury
I’ve been of the mind that the high percentage 3 point shooting was a function of their excellent passing and drive and kick, but even when that’s not going, that doesn’t explain numbers that low. Like, it just doesn’t.
Yeah, they have missed wide open ones they've gotten from the drive and kick. It's bizarre. I didn't expect us to break records, but this is more than a regression to the mean.

edit: 25.5% tonight, another sub 30% night.

Why not put more three-point shooters on the floor? Don't understand this coaching.

Vegas needs a brain adjustment making this team NBA title favorites. Not a CHANCE. One loss to Orlando.. s**t happens. But two? Good god

Shit happens twice.
Let's be thankful they're shitting themselves in December and not June. Plenty of time left for CJM to figure it out. Whether he shares his insights with the team or just hopes they can get to the same place, seems somewhat problematic.

Al is a reliable three-point shooter at this point. Not some flash in the pan. He was 2-9, and his shots were WIDE open. Jaylen was 2-10 (8-15 on 2s). Those weren't forced shots.

22 assists on 31 made shots is good! 16 turnovers isn't great.

Let’s just say that this was not the greatest day in Boston, professional sports history
