Magic (27-48) at Celtics (48-27) Game #76 3/31/17

Two beautiful passes from Smart.  Impeccable timing on both passes for 2 easy buckets.

I love IT off the ball with Smart running the playmaking role in the PnR, especially when Al and/or KO is out there with him. 6 assists for Smart, IT, and Al tonight.

Agreed. Nice line up

[BE-Celtic]

LOL. They called defensive foul on Smart and offensive foul on IT on this ?

LOL.

Yep. It's a great wrinkle to get everyone involved.

Interesting. Just saw this on the Bleacher Report Boston twitter stream:

Everything I've heard leans to Gordon Hayward signing with the Boston Celtics. The #1 seed in the East can pitch Stevens + a top draft pick.

I'm not sure how legit this guy is, but I keep seeing more and more where we're looking to be the frontrunner for Hayward this summer, depending upon how the playoffs go for both teams.

I'd prefer Griffin over Hayward, but he'd certainly constitute the secondary scorer that we would need. He'd also be basically "free" to get with just cap space. I just don't know what we'll do with the bigs rotation if we lose Amir, KO, and probably JJ too in order to sign him.

Is it just me, or has virtually every foul call been two seconds late tonight?

It's not just you.  The refs are reacting to the results of the play and not the play itself, which is the hallmark of bad officiating.

Looks like The Cavs are winning tonight.

[jpotter33]

JJ has been a big help off the bench tonight.

JJ has been a big help off the bench tonight.

He got abused by Aaron Gordon tho.

Classic Zarba and Barnaky

Terrible decision by Rozier that led to Meeks 3.

Was hoping sixers would do something but sometimes, LeBron crushes teams, and sometimes Sixers get crushed

[jpotter33]

OMG how long does Smart have to have contact with the ball for a freaking jump ball?!

My God, these refs have been about as bad as I can remember in a C's game.
