So we face against a dominant hulking center that is the kryptonite against our own leading scoring center.

Then we got two spitfire guards to contend with. Unless we hit 3s Im gonna put this one in the loss column. Vuc always struggles against the big centers in scoring. This time Drummond is probably gonna overpower Vuc as well.

Fultz needs to have a comeback game. He's been scary bad from the field these last couple of games.

Orlando really needs these next two; so focus on this one and get the W.

Tank you very much for this post

I was wrong about Sexton. An extremely undersized 2-guard that can't shoot was not something I would have bought into. He has developed into a shooter. Hasn't developed the playmaking to be a PG but I guess it doesn't matter now that they have Garland.

Sexton is a shooting guard.

And a very good one.

His efficiency has gotten better and better and his FT rate is progressively ticking up.

For sure but I'm not sure that was always the plan considering he is 6'1". Regarding efficiency, he was a 33% 3pt shooter in college and is now a career 40% 3pt shooter from NBA range so he has improved that shot a TON.

Yeah not confident about this one, although Garland being out helps

[JasonBlanchard]

I don't get how the line is now -6. I actually think Cleveland wins. Orlando has just looked really bad these past 2 games. They did prove they are capable of putting it together, just not enough scorers.

Hopefully I am wrong. Hopefully Fultz looks like he did the first few games. Hopefully Vooch continues scoring like he has

[Howard Mass]

Hopefully, they can get back on track. Let's Go Magic!

[Def Swami]

Exum injury didn't look good. Feel bad for the guy. Some guys are just snakebit smh.

[penny_nz]

Ah damn that's not good for Exum, telltale Achilles, including the look behind 'who kicked me'

[Howard Mass]

You've got to feel for Dante Exum.

Horrible luck. Hopefully, it is not a bad injury.

[Knightro]

That looks like an achillies for Exum. Brutal break.
