Do or die game!

[Knightro]

If the Cavs win tonight they clinch the 4 seed and probably will rest guys in the second game.

Do or die game!

For Wemby? Yes, yes it is.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

This is going to be a really hard game, so I won't have any winning expectations this game, however, I just want to see Franz do Franz things, Paolo stepping up, and I really want to see Jalen really try and make it hard for Michell. That's pretty much it. The Cavs are playing for too much.

[eyriq]

Cool they got some 2k gamers representing. I don't know much about esports

[AdamTheGreek]

Mosley with a white checkered polo tonight, looks good.

They still might catch Philly, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

[Message Boar]

Honestly us sticking on 34 wins wouldn't be the worst thing ever. The Wizards and the Pacers have home games left against the Spurs/Pistons, respectively, so there's a decent chance one or both of those teams get to 35. I haven't been on the tank so far this season, but for these last 4 games, I could stomach it.

[thelead]

Did they add seats to the arena? How did last game have the 5th highest attendance ever? The 2010-2011 (first year the new arena opened) Orlando Magic was a 52 win team.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

I’m just going to go ahead and predict that this is one of those games that we might need Goga to be first center off the bench.

He’s been a solid find for this team. FO making minor but solid moves

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Evan Mobley has a turnaround jumper? Okay.

[eyriq]

I think Paolo is in his head at the line right now

[eyriq]

That pass from Franz was dope

[basketballRob]

We won 2 in a row against the Celtics and Raptors. The Cavs might be next.

Paolo is extremely strong and only 20 years old

Philly's magic number for the 3 seed just 1 because they have the tiebreaker on Cleveland. Cavs would need to win out and the Sixers would need to lose out. Doesn't seem likely even though Philly has the tougher schedule.

[Knightro]

Evan Mobley has a turnaround jumper? Okay.

He is an awesome talent.
