Allen not playing is going to hurt the Cavs

Hope Bickerstaff is still stupid enough to keep Strus on Franz. He can't guard him at all and it is compromising their entire defense.

Nice collection of midrange jumpers to make this an interesting second half.

Why oh why is the Magic such a slow starting team? We fans can't take it.

I can almost guarantee you Jett would have a hit a couple of these 3s he's just bricking.


Gary's defense on Garland and Mitchell with Suggs has been vital, its a shame he can't shoot now

yep. let's call a spade a spade. If Monk was in there instead, would Monk score more? Most likely. Would Monk give up easier shots to Garland? Absolutely.

That's the frustration of us really having the opportunity to be up 10 in this game.

They really have not defended us well all series, we've just had dumbfounded turnovers, missed FTs, and shot horribly even by our standards.

They can be saying the exact same things.
