2024 NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 2: (5) Orlando Magic at (4) Cleveland Cavaliers - Cavs up 1-0

In this series we just needed a guard with a quick first step to put a pressure on small Cavs guards, we just don't have any.

Delusional is pining for 3rd stringers to play huge minutes in the playoffs. AB/Jett/Goga/Houstan.

No other coach in the league is going that deep, no other fans are wanting to play 3rd stringers as much as we do. Then once Houstan has a stinker, people ask why "X isn't playing" instead. It's a vicious cycle of goldfish brain lineups.

People have been asking for Isaac to start for months and now people want him back on the bench already.

The actual debate of if AB should be playing over Fultz is obviously the most obvious and pressing need - the rest is legit our guys need to play better.

It's basically an extension of backup quarterback syndrome in fans, you see it all the time. 'The guys you don't see surely have to be better than the guys you see sucking, riiiiiight?' One thing I generally have fait in is that sports teams know what guys are better players than other guys, just from seeing them play day in and day out.

Cole's brutal regression this season has been arguably the most damaging thing that happened all year.

Paolo having a rough game. Maybe he needs some home cooking.

I am not asking for Jett, Chuma, and Caleb to play. I am asking for AB and Goga who have shown throughout the season that they can contribute to a team win. I am asking for AB to play because he not only defend but will attempt to cut and shoot 3s. I am asking for Goga because we know that he can rebound and can someone what protect the rim. That's it.

we suck at 50/50 balls for a team who focused on hustling

although i think we really do suffer from unlucky bounces and a handful of lazy effort from certain players

They've also have 2 big men who rebound the ball at an elite level. That can complicate things.

You really think AB, Houstan and Goga are going to make the difference? Come on man

Could just be lip service for "his knee is hurt", but we won't know more until proper tests at a hospital.

Franz has been guarding Mitchell a lot in this game.

Without Suggs it's forcing Franz to chase Garland or Mitchell around and also carry us on offense.
