I think a Suggs/AB backcourt will be the best defensive backcourt in the league

I hope we get to see that next season.

Do you think the FO had a talk with him for Black Dick

Gotta key in on stopping Garland and then find a way to get Paolo going to the rim with cutters on the other end.

Why are we like this? We've been like this ever since I came here during the Dwight days.

Wasn't able to watch first half but tuning in now, looks like we've kept it close! Our defense this series has been outstanding, lets go Magic!

Fultz gave us good minutes last game. We are trying to win a series not baby sit. In games 1 and 2 yea we should have tried him. Not now

I've seen enough 'defense' from Fultz. He cannot be trusted to guard either Garland or Mitchell.

Also, it's just really hard to beat teams in the playoffs in general. Cavs were a 48 win team with a bunch of injuries this year, and even if they're soft, they're talented. Nobody thought we'd smack them around by 60 after the first two games we had.

Nuggets beat Lakers 4-1 but were down in the half of every game and won two games by Murray's heroics.

I'm just happy they're battling. I feel like math is against us when it comes to our offense and how young our best players are, but our effort and tenacity is what keeps us in games. Can absolutely take this series, but I don't think we should be whooping them every game like some people think. There's a reason they were big favorites before the series.

These Knicks Sixers games have been good, it's annoying it's overlapping with our game.

The Magic are keeping it close like they need too.

Also sidenote.. anybody else hate the vibes of the Cavs arena? It's just.. bleh.. like not comfortable at all lol. Pacers are the same way. Knicks have an oddly cozy arena and I think the Sixers kinda do too. I think where we play is nice too

They absolutely have ti come out strong to start the 3rd. They can't let Cleveland control the first 4-6 min of the 3rd.

I felt Joels pain when he said Knicks fans should not be invading Phi home games. Welcome to every Magic game, Joel

But Suggs bricking every single shot when wide open shot just ain't getting it done.

Yeah. Still need him taking the shots. What’s he gonna do? Stop shooting and rely on two other guys total?

Lol no.

I'm not saying he shouldn't shoot by any means. I'm just saying he's gonna have to actually make more open shots.

If you watch you'll see alot of their threes they made are wide wide open whereas we are taking alot of difficult contested ones. Gary took a few contested because of the shot clock. They are running us off the line.

Once we went to the hoop at the end there we made some in the midrange.
