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

Really some complimentary scoring at guard. Paul George isn’t happening but would be ideal. I don’t even hate idea of derozan even though spacing is meh. Also should be a trade destination for simons

The thing is that both Wagner and Banchero are best with the ball, Wagner as a poor man's Luka and Banchero operating from the high post and in the open floor, but they're also not really meant to play point guard, so they could use a veteran point guard too.

Proud of the boys. Need to add some shooting and we’ll be cooking. I want us to go after Anfernee Simons. He’d fit perfect next to Suggs

You need spacing most importantly imo. Magic can’t score well and teams send help whenever the two main guys drive. If you need more of a passer brogdon would work but he has injury risk. Portland likely trading all 3 of brogdon, simons, grant

Magic choked.

They could've gotten 1 game off the Celtics. Cavs get swept by Boston, what a bore.

Orlando lacks postseason experience so they still have a lot to do. It's not surprising they folded under pressure as shown earlier but I can see they could start toppling the heat in their division these coming years.

Otoh, the disrespect that cleveland gets here is ridiculous. But yes, they should be much better than they are rn. They were at their best 3-4 months ago before sputtering along the way.

Maybe they're kinda slacking until the last games and that just some key players like mitchell are waiting for the off-season already.

It's a damn shame because squads like the healthy warriors and Kings are way better.

Too bad both teams got wiped out in the play-ins aka losers bracket. Also, as if the warriors aren't getting any older.

Theyre just 21 and 22 tho, with time they should develop more consistent jumpers and then theyll be more dangerous playing together.

Too bad Orlando played their ass off
