2020-2021 Regular Season Game 62: Orlando Magic (18-43) at Cleveland Cavaliers (21-40)

The team they are fielding right now reminds me of:

The Cavs just sat Dellavedova, Sexton, Prince, and Hartenstein before this game.

I mean... this isn't accurate.

Prince had ankle surgery. No one is willingly getting surgery they don't need.

Sexton has a legitimate concussion and has missed several games.

The other two guys are scrubs anyway.

It amuses me that the Cavs only have 2 timeouts left and we have 5.

Hartenstein has played well, also Nance. Apparently they have 3 players with concussions.

*sigh* why isnt our newest tank commander getting a lot of burn? We need him to match up Cavs lineup

[MagicTownBaller]

These meaningless wins will kill us. We will get back to 4 and get the 6th pick and our rebuild is screwed or years behind.

Nance broke his thumb, another legitimate injury.

They aren't a good team regardless and they have guys actually hurt. The only ones who might be out with phony injuries aren't any good anyway.

well yeah... being measure 6'9 1/4 when you are 19 and being measures 6'10ish years later is more commom than we thought.

You can see tonight when he is matching up against Love who measured 6'7.75" at the combine. The point is that while we are playing him almost exclusively as a four, he is smaller than everyone he matches up against. Offensively it isn't really relevant, but at the defensive end, he is just much better off the ball, on the perimeter, and in passing lanes. He is especially good when he can crowd someone that is on their heels on the perimeter. He is also solid as a help defender when he can load up to protect the rim. In the post against bigger guys? That's a weakness. I'm hoping that he is being used the way he is due to our dearth of bodies at the four. I'm hopeful that he can be a three for us in the long term.

For the record I have always been on the " Chuma as the SF " bandwagon. Ive been beating the " he needs to slim down and be ripped " drums for so long already.

Yeah Love might have measure 6'8 at the combine but gis latest was almost 6'9 barefoot right? Unless that was a lie.

For whats it worth, chuma looks bigger and taller than Ennis on my screen. And isnt Ennis 6'7 with shoes?

Chuma is taller than ennis and ennis is 6”6 barefoot, 6”7 in shoes

Ugh, just too many solid/performances/too much the Cavs sucking tonight. I understand a win was allways going to happen at some point, but hopefully this is not a sign of things to come during the remainder of the season. Time to go back to our incompetent selves.

Hope Sexton can return for the Cavs soon.

The amount of complaining on here after every single win, when there have only been two in the last 14 games, is so annoying.

Teams win sometimes. The Thunder just won. The Wolves have won 3 in a row. The Pistons have won a few times recently.

It happens. Let it go.

Why are grown men having this conversation?

Especially when we're about to give up our #2 spot?

That is not an apples to apples comparison obviously, but whatever.

18-game losing streaks just don't really happen.

At least we're getting Ennis, Bacon, and Randle good reps for their next team.
