As I expected, the Magic are back down to earth. But I don’t like what I’ve been seeing from the Cavaliers offense.

Cavs should have a 10 point lead but i understand its on TNT and competing with day 3 of the NFL draft, so the refs are gonna keep the Magic in it with some god awful officiating.

You CAN'T get a technical for pointing at a player even if its considered taunting. Come on...

Would be hilarious if all the players pointed at their opponents after every bucket just to call out how silly the technical is.

Yeah good energy push and comeback by Magic. You can see the inexperience but credit to them for upping the intensity to make up for it. Control what you can.

Defensively he’s having one hell of a series, and he played very well offensively in the first two games. So far he’s playing fine in this one.

The NBA is pathetic. You can't show any emotion. What's wrong with Wagner is doing? I want to see more of that from players in the PLAYOFFS. It's so lame. The NBA is killing taunting out of the league.

Right?

It was cringy that Mitchell was clapping after that play as if he really did something.

If they're gonna T up Strus for throwing his hands up after getting his 2nd foul on a bogus call then Franz was obviously getting a tech there.

I don't know about sending all 5 guys back on defense after the shot goes up, at least someone has to crash the boards so you're not one and done every possession.

Niang is just killing us. He can't get his shot off against Issac.

Jolting Joe Ingles.

I like the Cavs giving Mobley more touches. This kid has so much talent.

Maybe we’ll get a close game at the end. Feels like it’s heading in that direction
