I envision a lot of Cavs turnovers tonight.

Something non-Cavs related I've been curious about is how serious are the Orlando Magic and is their defense sustainable. Haven't had time to watch them until tonight so it'll be interesting

I've watched them a couple times on league pass this season, their length and versatility is unreal.

Magic are sleepwalking in the cavs are really sharp.

Does anyone miss Levert right now? He is so redundant with Garland and Mitchell playing

Yeah. The defense and secondary playmaking make us a more complete roster

We had some gorgeous ball movement and screen plays at the beginning of the game, but we've basically just resorted to PNR's and ISO's only down the stretch and its too predictable

I do not foresee losing the game as this point, but why has our gameplan changed to be more predictable lol

Well I’ll take the win against a very good Orlando team but I did not like our execution down the stretch. Regardless I’m not going to complain too much. A W is a W.

Best game of the season despite having to battle through rough officiating, on our home court, again. The Magic are definitely a team who could be a first round out when the charitable foul calls go away.

Three starters with 5 fouls, refs were having a field day.

We don't even get a nuetral whistle on our home court. It's remarkable. I don't expect to get treated like the Celtics playing in the Garden, but it would be nice if blatant foul baiting wasn't eagerly rewarded on our own court. It was nice to see JBB use, and win, both challenges.

I've seen you post about it before, we have 3 former All-Stars, not like we're playing a bunch of rookies, just odd that it continues to happen.
