If you win 47 games without an all NBA caliber player, you’re definitely a good team.
They do have an all star though

First off, scoring is down and turnovers are up league wide as the league is really letting teams be physical in the playoffs.
You want your players taking what the defense gives them, especially when playing good defensive teams. Efficiency matters. Getting Allen and Mobley involved in the offense, particularly when they present a matchup issue for Orlando whenever Issac is off the floor, matters.
Not for nothing, but Garland would have more assists if Stus and Niang didn't shoot a combined 2-18 from 3 over the first two games.
Donavan scored 38 points on 30 shots in Game 1 against the Knicks. We lost. This complaining about what's working is just tiresome.
Darius had 5 points on 2-10 shooting. He did get his customary 6 assists. The offense overall continues to be abysmal.
We can’t continue to bury our heads in the sand. Garland is a max-contract player. He HAS to play like it. He has been really bad this series. No..it isn’t working. It didn’t work in games 1 and 2 and it certainly didn’t work tonight.
Outside of our core four guys how is everyone else shooting? I mention this because I'm kind of surprised he has six assists as it requires a teammate to actually hit a shot.

Magic is not a good team. Cavs should be sweeping them.
Not a good team?
Sure, not a contender or a great team... but not a good team? I disagree.
It is almost like the Cavs are in a series against a top 3 defense in the league, wild, I know.DowJones wrote:jbk1234 wrote:DowJones wrote:

At some point Darius needs to step up. I have no idea why you are ignoring the obvious. We don’t need to cover for him. He needs to play better. He didn’t run an efficient offense in games 1 and 2. The offense struggled. It was even worse tonight.
The whole offense struggled but Garland is 1 of 2 max contract players and we can’t survive with him playing like this. 11 points and 6 assists just isn’t acceptable. It isn’t like he is offsetting that with great defense.

It's funny you say that because Allen has been the Cavs best player through the first 3 games.ChumboChappati wrote:AddiFB wrote:ChumboChappati wrote:Magic is not a good team. Cavs should be sweeping them.

I was talking relevant to Cavs. The 3 most talented players in this series are all Cavs (Mitchell, Garland, and Mobley). Then on the bench, the Cavs have the most talented player LeVert.
He really played great defense on Paolo.JujitsuFlip wrote:Dean Wade has been ruled out for the remainder of the series.
