(4) Cavs vs. (5) Magic First Round Playoff Series Thread

[Nowoco]

Banchero starting to heat up.

[Street Hunger]

Both teams kinda adjusting to post-season intensity

Not a high-level game

[Street Hunger]

Might be a good series if the magic can hit a couple more shots.

[Nowoco]

Horrible game, horrible shooting, horrible female announcers. Not exactly the explosive start to the playoffs the league would have wanted.

The Magic could hardly have played worse and kept it close for longer than they had any right to. They can steal game 2. I just hope it's more exciting than this trash today.

Magic shot bricks from everywhere, even the FT line.

Cavs win Game 1, 97-83.

That box score is a good nod to the older days.

This.

Magic suck. Ive seen this happen at the end of the RS already.

Cavs only outscored Orlando by 2 in the second half. Orlando isn’t a great shooting team but Suggs, Harris, and Anthony won’t shoot a combined 1/16 again. Will be much tighter moving forward.

I muted the broadcast 5 minutes in to the game. Horrible play by play and color commentary.

Magic in 7

the Magic should just get Joe Ingle out of the line up completely, there's some type of myth that he can make up his lack of basketball IQ with his size and playing the 2 or 1 position, only any dribble drive involving a change of direction leaves the coach ready to change his diaper.

offensively, the Magic has been the most efficient with Banchero playing the 2, so at this point, they should treat him getting the ball by the wing position as any type of out of bound plays in order to get the shooters in a rhythm.

however, the Cavs play the passing lane well, and Strus, whose essentially a blend of J.J. Redick and Arron Afflalo allows the Cavs to play the pace they want because they don't give up second chance points easily.

Suggs knee just got destroyed, which means this series is a wrap. Great season overall, now just need to add some shooting this offseason.

Magic are ass

It was a pretty good diagonal hyper extension with his own weight and Mitchell explosive lateral movement pinning his foot to the wood. Looked like a combination ankle sprain and knee ligament tear.
