Cavaliers vs Magic Series General Discussion Thread

For me, its probably the same

Nice. If Mitchell is injured he drops, otherwise these are my top five.

1. Mitchell
2. Isaac
3. Paolo
4. Franz
5. Garland

Problem with JI is that he doesn't play that much minutes yet

I'm living in fantasy land where he's getting starters mins. It's great here, margaritas and everything

I don't know about you guys but the last thing I want to hear is that the opponent team is struggling, their role players aren't playing well, and their best player is in a slump. That is prime "Magic Killer" content.

I am watching the Orlando Magic's official YouTube channel, and they are premiering the full entire Game1 of ORL vs CLE 2009 ECF. LeBron punched us in the mouth in the 1st quarter. And by the 4th, he was at the other end of the floor checking out his legs after a failed drive, all by himself, not running up with his team.

My piece of advice to Paolo and Franz. Watch the ways Turkoglu scored and controlled the offense. So much more to pick up on from Rashard and other players too. And I hate to say it, but Paolo and Franz can pick up on LeBron plays more than anyone too.

Hedo and Lewis were so good. Love that team.

Magic have to play the long game with Mitchell. Go at him on defense and pester him on offense from the very beginning. He might still have a great first couple games but he will get tired and hobbled eventually as he's not 100% healthy.

Yup.... make him work on defense. Problem is, our guards arent exactly known for punishing offense.

Mitchell works out with Cole and Banchero in the offseason at Chris Brickley's gym.

It’s Paolo and Franz first playoff game, you have to watch it live.

At the cost of them losing?

[Howard Mass]

The lack of scoring from the backcourt is concerning but I'm going Magic in 6 over Cleveland. It feels good to be back in The Playoffs.

[DiplomaticMagic]

Gotta win possession battle.

We dont have to win the 3pt battle, but we cant get too behind in 3pt shooting.

If we can wear down Donovan Mitchell , I like our chances.

It felt like Chuck wanted to say something about the Magic/Cavs series but they wouldn't let him talk.

Also heard Bontemps and MacMahon pick us on the Hoop Collective podcast

And if they lose anyway then you’ll miss their first playoff game. It’s not the same as watching the recording. It’s the excitement of the unknown.

I liked our matchup with the Knicks or Pacers better. The Cavs are built a bit like us but they have Donovan Mitchell.

Hmmmm maybe... we will see if i can resist temptation. Lol

I think the refs will set the tone early…a physical series, especially on the perimeter, certainly favors ORL. I don’t want to see Suggs on the bench, with three early fouls while Mitchell puts up 50. Hard to predict how they’ll call it. It was pretty obvious, despite Silver’s denial, that they were calling a lot less this year, but playoff TV loves star performances more than muddy bloody defense…so we’ll have to see how it goes.

Suggs will be in big foul trouble by halftime - book it.

He’s kicked ass all season…not a given.

Actually, Suggs in foul trouble could trigger AB’s big coming out big in the playoffs opportunity. Not banking on it, but great storylines happen under the bright lights

That would be a bit like what happened when we played Detroit in the 2003 playoffs, where Tayshaun Prince got big minutes after the Pistons dropped those games to us. He kind of turned the series around for them with his perimeter defense from what I remember of it.

Not saying it will happen in this series, but I definitely think AB has a similar level of defensive instincts and tenacity like Prince did.
