George and of course the big news entering game number two the shifting in the odds because of
00:05
the injury report Jason Tatum officially listed as doubtful for game number two injuring his wrist
00:11
in the opening game of the set against Orlando how does that change things for the Celtics if
00:17
Tatum does not play tonight entering game two against the Magic you're losing out on the
00:23
initiator on your offense your best scorer one of your best defenders you could say the best
00:28
defender but Drew Holiday exists and the guy that does everything on both ends of the floor
00:32
and yes his shot hasn't been there but Jason Tatum is the best player on the Celtics bar none and no
00:38
one's close to him he's a top five player in this league how he's been playing this season he should
00:42
have been top three in the MVP voting for what he did with this team and everything that demands on
00:46
him so that's a lot and the bone bruise like when he went down and it was day-to-day scale of one to
00:52
ten you know I was sitting at a two for concern but when it became a bone bruise that's a six and a half
00:57
seven because that's gonna be tough to ball handle it's gonna affect his shooting which has been on
01:01
the downside as is now I'm not worried about this Magic team but I went from being a confident sweep
01:07
to it's still confident in five but the game two adjustment will be tough the Magic can defend just
01:12
like the Celtics but they can't score and I'm not too worried about it from that end but Jason Tatum
01:18
does a lot maybe we see Kristaps Porzingis go better than one for me from the field but also
01:22
sag off of Wendell Carter instead of defending him from the perimeter be more of a rim protector
01:28
and maybe that could change some things but the Celtics have the depth they still have Jalen Brown
01:32
who's looking springy since getting the shots in his knee so I'm not too worried when it comes to game
01:37
two against the Magic at worst this series I think gets closed out in five instead of four
01:42
ŃŠ°ŃŃŃ and rotting insults asides of C dressŃ
01:48
Crochet now is pretty sure how many times Iģ“ has been coming from 3 in half
01:52
and many times I think that I got 10 as a Š±Š°Š»Š°Š½Ń here to be 25th
01:56
that might want to be 18 as a whole they lived in the field
01:59
so if you put some uncertainty on the ground it hasn't changed
02:03
was a much more nice and much more simple
02:06
so what you feel about now is that itcho is the city to do
