Magic in 7

Refs saved Gayland on the last play. Paolo got fouled on the made 3

Boiling.

[theman93]

Tough one. Paolo is showing potential to be the guy though. I expect us to force a game 7

Props to Orlando for playing tough, but on paper this Cavs team has frustrated me this whole season minus their win streak when Garland+Mobley were out. I felt like the Cavs were taking steps to be a Top 3 team when they acquired Mitchell, but I feel like that's not happened and they've been underachieving. Grant it, they still are young, but when you look at that roster on paper I just feel like they should be much better than Orlando.

Yeah I thought the Cavs would emerge as 3rd seed during that win streak or at least like clear 3rd best but it never really happened, still in the mix with the other teams around that mark and kind of were on the brink in this series, surprisingly.

No ill will towards Suggs,

But you gotta love to see that HARSH PENALTY
for Suggs kicking his leg out dishonestly
trying to draw a foul.

Wiped away a huge 3pt make.

Why is a wedgie a jump-ball. Should be ball for other team.

Magic in 7

Certainly would love to see that.

Imagine it’s just play on .. and bigs both tryna yank that sh!t outta there

[Proctor]

Mitchell is a weird player. Seems like he's in slow motion every game. Preservation/"controlled breathing" technique to reduce the pressure? Or did he suddenly become a turtle? He plays like someone who just woke up from a long nap.

[SATAN]

Banchero needs another decent scorer. Wagner is ok but seems more like a 3rd option.

[L.Kizzle]

Donavan Mitchell has the 3rd most 50 point playoff games in NB history.

[Meticode]

One word describes this Cavs team. Frustrating. Bickerstaff allows Mitchell to completely be all the offense on a hobbled knee and anyone else other than Garland isn't involved. Sure, you can ride that in spurts, but not the whole damn game. Okoro passed up two or three wide open shots, Niang flopping his dad bod around, nothing ran for Mobley. Hell, Mobley touched the ball so little that at the end he had a little gimme layup after a rebound and f*cking shorted it.

The way this team is constructed right now isn't working. Something has to change whether it's Bickerstaff out or players.

I'm so frustrated that I hope they lose Game 7. Why go to the 2nd round and get swept against the Celtics?

[theman93]

Let’s go babyyyy!

[Axe]

Yikes, we're getting a game 7.

Let’s go babyyyy!

**** you, coach.
