Wow...just got home.

First few possessions of the game, I was wondering if a team ever played a whole game without scoring a point. Then 2 or 3 highlight blocks at the rim (by CLE)...after that, pedal down. Wow.

Paolo is absolutely star material. He's a cold-blooded killer and incredibly poised and fierce for his age. He's a real one.

Our needs haven't changed, but...Wow. The future is bright.

Paolo with 7 offensive rebounds? 0 turnovers? 44.4% from 3? What a ******* GOAT

I put on my years old Turkoglu jersey and two my 175lbs of dogs out for an hour long walk.
It was 9PM here, so it was the perfect time for me to work off my day.
What a great walk.

With as bad of a beatdown as we put on Cleveland today.... there are two ways our Saturday game vs. them will work out.

1) Cavs will come out pissed and punch our noses
2) Cavs will quickly deflate and lose by at least 10

Just got home and my ears are still ringing. The arena hasn’t been that amped up for a sustained period of time ever. The crowd was on from the beginning and didn’t let up all night.

We did a few things differently which worked but most of all we played the mid-range a lot. Paolo and the others didn’t really try to dribble to the rim much. We also did a much better job boxing out and keeping Franz out from under the rim on defense.

Great game for Suggs. We all know what Suggs can do defensively; however, we need this offensive output throughout for the magic to have any shot of winning this series. The Magic are too deprived offensively for anything less.

Great game! Anyone noticed how Fultz played with energy in the 4th?

Would Mosley start him in favor of Gary Harris? because we have to figure a way to get Markelle going instead of being in La La Land

Just having a quick laugh at the poor ESPN intern that forgot to check the numbers for the recap.

By the fourth quarter, [the Magic] were up 54 points, their largest lead entering the fourth in the postseason in franchise history. Their 36-point win is their third-largest playoff win and the Cavs' largest loss.

A crazy stat for this series is that we're the highest paced series out of all of the playoffs so far, and it would be the slowest pace out of all NBA teams in the regular season. Playoffs get muddy.

For this game in particular i went to sleep, woke up, watched it on live stream, and went back to sleep. That's why i don't post much or anything during games in general :lol:

If game is on tv, i can watch replay. Most playoff games are, at least not in first round of playoffs. Second, third and finals will have it all.

Full game replays , especially for games that just ended - in HD, - Fishker. Enjoy :D
