I'm amped up for this one! Really impressed with this team. Suggs is haunting Mitchell's dreams. The Germans are providing championship grit. Paolo is showing glimpses of superstardom.
Need a big Cole game, I don't like that he's been overshadowed by Fultz.

Our bench depth was supposed to be our biggest strength yet too many no shows. They need to get it together, they are supposed to be fresh legs out there.
Overall our bench grade has been a C-. With the only dawgs being Isaac / WCJ / Mo. Which is unbelievably ironic.

I’ll be keeping a close eye on rebounding differential and turnovers. We keep it close on the boards and limit TOs we have a great chance no matter how bad we shoot.

Cavs are mentally weak, they were playing scared in game 4 when we went on a run.
If we punch them in the mouth, they might fold. We gotta get off to a better start.
I dont believe for a second that Jarret Allen is "injured". Gotta dictate the paint especially when hes in the game. Wendell did a good job.
Cavs offense hasnt been good all series, hopefully thats because of our defense and it continues today.
As every game goes, the 3pt battle is key.

Trade for Jarret Allen

Im pretty sure our bench has outscored their bench every game this series.

Hate looking forward but Porzingis is hurt for Boston. If we can beat these Cavs that will be a big deal.
Trade for Jarret Allen

Games 3 and 4 were different. Bench were much bigger contributors. Even Fultz and Cole chipped in.
I’m hoping the return to the lineups and rotations the team knows (WCJ starting, Isaac off the bench) proves to still be a difference maker even in Cleveland.

I hope the team can learn how to blur out the crowd in away games. Cleveland is a 4.5-point favorite.

Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 5: (5) Orlando Magic at (4) Cleveland Cavaliers - Series Tied 2-2
They've already exceeded my expectations for this series so a hard fought loss or win is gravy, but obviously I want to be greedy now and win. Although it just feels like the Cavs are due to hit some bull threes lol. I mean they're obviously not as bad as they've been though, they are missing some open shots.
Feel like they're gonna bomb away from there though. Probably gonna use Marcus Morris instead of Niang and Merrill will cut into LeVert's minutes if I had to guess.

I am too nervous to watch the game but I will force myself too. All I can think of are the two games we had in Cleveland which were horrible. We need everybody to step up. Good luck Magicians.
