Great half considering Wagner was out with foul trouble in the 2nd quarter

I would much rather his running mates step up and help him win this game. Michell seem like the type of player that will try and go for 50 and win by himself the second half so Paolo is going to need help.

Coach did what he had to do leaving Franz out with three fouls. Franz will be back to making big buckets in the second half.

Franz is 16-50 or 32% in Cleveland so far. It's do or die now, i hope he pull himself together and have a strong finish...

You're going to need something from Franz in the second. But in general, Paolo will need another 15 plus. It's how Game 7's on the road are won.

Cavs will do single cover on Paolo probably until clutch. I assume Mobley will be on him in 4th in bursts.

I can see Magic beating the Celtics next round. They are 9-10 man deep no team are that deep in the league. If Banchero plays this way might as well give him the mvp trophy right now.

Suggs has Mitchell in jail. He’s doing his job. He’s also doing too much on offense. Wagner needs to step up.

Do we roll out a three guard lineup at some point, Suggs/Harris/Anthony?

Their bench has helped them not get blown out so it is key that we negate some of that.

Franz is the second option. He'll be a star. Does he stake his claim to this in the second half? I think so

Keep Cavs under 100 and keep our TOs under 6 and we got this.

Cole probably deserved a few more minutes in the first with his play and cuz Franz had to sit.

Hopefully he continues to give us good minutes in the second half and Franz wakes up.

Suggs should just continue to hound Donovan and ok offense just make the simple play.
