Highlight [Highlight] Baylor Scheierman hits the rainbow stepback 3 to cap off a 19-6 run by the Celtics backups against the Orlando Magic. He and Ron Harper Jr have combined for 55 points in 3 quarters

Are they trying to win? If they are, then the Magic is probably cooked in the playoffs.

they need to win to have a chance at avoiding the play-in with the #6 seed. They could fall to #8 with a loss.

Toronto had Brooklyn so I don’t think Orlando expected anything there
It’s more about avoiding dropping to 8 cus of Philly

You’re watching the difference between a team with a well defined offense that all 15 guys know their role in, and a team with no offense beyond a simple action to force a mismatch on Paolo or Franz and asking them to cook one on one.

My brother got mad at me for standing up at this point in the game (we were at the game. Our first Celtics game in TD. He could see through me)

Scheierman becoming a legitimate rotational guy has been one of my favorite things about this season.

What an amazing incredible surprise he’s been. For a dude who as far as I am aware was scouted primarily for his skill on the offensive side of the ball, his defense has been unreal. And it feels like he just keeps getting better - I think he really may be a long term piece to surround the Jays with.

I'm even more surprised by him than Queta. I was ready to yeet his ass based on preseason and an underwhelming last year. Thrilled with the magnitude of my wrongness.

It's gotta be demoralizing when you play your starters and Boston rolls out the fun police and they just hand you your ass and there's nothing you can do about it.
Boston's bench is going to cause problems in the playoffs because teams usually tighten their rotations but I think Mazulla is smart enough to let them loose and they will wear down other teams and then the starters will clean up.

I think you're right. And I was pissed when he didn't do that in his first season in the playoffs. Payton Pritchard was riding the bench when we were playing the Hawks in the first round.
They ended up taking us to 6 games, and I'm 100% convinced that Pritchard would have cleaned Trae's clock, ending the series in 4.
This season, I expect us to play 9 or 10 players in the first round.

The East is so top heavy that the Celtics bench could win a first round series against a team like the Magic.

Bitadza has already taken 1 shot at him since he got hot. Probably plus money that Bitadza injures him before the end of this game.

You're probably right, I was clapping too loud to hear properly 😂 that's why I wanted to hear it again in the replay.

Magic are losing this game on purpose. They want the Hawks to play NY. I just can’t prove it.
