2024 NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 7: (5) Orlando Magic at (4) Cleveland Cavaliers - Series Tied 3-3

[Optimus_Steel]

the refs really scared our team once they realized they werent getting the same calls we got in the 1st half

I mean look at that Suggs 3 where Strus made contact with him and stepped into his landing area, and no call

2 clear fouls with a ref right there, arguable flagrant

the calls were made

We have to learn to fight thru that. They didn’t quit but surely made them hesitant and easier to defend.

Franz needs to get stronger, he doesnt have Banchero frame, he needs more time. Creating in late shot clock against Mobley is not easy task for lean 22 year old. His 3 point shot is dissapointing but he just changed his mechanics a little, this needs time.

His problem is his mental makeup

Not one of Knightro's best moments

I wasn't convinced at the time, but I am now. Paolo has volume, but not the efficiency. Add Mitchell to this team and we are golden.

Dude, Paolo is 21

Agree, I mean have you seen the stats being thrown up during the playoffs as to who he's being compared to? Dude has showed up, led us and had the opposition throw double teams / triple teams his way. Of course his efficiency isn't there.

And who's he going to kick to? The bricklayers?

THe most annoying thing is the Pacers get to advance because of pure luck.

Paolo, Suggs and Franz are all supposed to get better still, so whatever's true tonight, may (hopefully) not be true in a year or two.

[OrlandoNed]

Suggs and Franz are frauds.

This was to be expected. They were in a daze that whole 2nd half.

Played too complacent in the 1st half. Gotta learn from this and build.

To me they got scared... there wasn't an 18 point cushion and once the Cavs cut it down to 10 they got shook.

Franz needs to take this off-season off and learn to shoot. He has lost us this game.

This. I want to see a real improvement in his in between game also.

[Bergmaniac]

We finally made a 3, LOL.

[neuraldarwinism]

A+ season, significantly outperformed my and pretty much all projected expectations.

young team established an nba identity to build on and gained a lot of film and experience from the series which will direct individual player and team development.

[Optimus_Steel]

Now falling apart. Learn from this guys. Use it as motivation.

16 assist. its time to get a real pointguard and stop with the experiment bull

[T-Cat]

The Magic lost because no one but Paolo stepped up. People need to stop with Suggs as the third option. He is just not that type of guy.

Suggs would be ideal off the bench as our Marcus Smart!

I'm so proud of our guys especially Paolo and Jonathan Isaac!

[PrimeThyme]

Franz was never billed as a first or second option coming out of college and i still do not see it.

We need to go find a second option this summer and let Franz fall in to a more defined role as a Swiss army knife for us.

Suggs and Franz are frauds.

Nah, that's a crazy take

[Message Boar]

Lmao that defense and then that turnover. I would be feeling such shame if I were a player (or coach) at this time

[Bensational]

The biggest disappointment is happening right now. Our guys giving up while the clock is still live. Suggs showing quit. Isaac quit. Weak stuff.

They played tight without a doubt. That lack of experience

[eyriq]

They tanked for us
