2024 NBA Playoffs - East 1st Round: #4 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. #5 Orlando Magic (CLE WINS 4-3)

[jkvonny]

Magic has to find an offense of any sort. They have been doing good defensively (their strength). but pretty stagnant on offense so far. Defense has kept them in the games so far, even holding the Cavs under 100 pnts.
They are at home now in Orlando, so that should help. Get their offense back in gear.

So far, in these playoffs, the Magic are the only team, yet to have a lead in any of the games.
Trailed wire to wire in both games as of now.
Get it together, Orlando! Good luck tonite, this week.

They have to win this game

Yup.

For sure.

[jkvonny]

There it is!!

Magic finally gets a lead in a game. Lol

First time any point of this series.

[JujitsuFlip]

Magic's first lead of the series.

[thelead]

The Cavs defense is putting in work

[jkvonny]

I'll be bouncing between the games and the NFL draft

jkvonny wants to know who the Texans should pick?

They went all in last year so don't have a FRP ths year...I would be drafting a WR to give Stroud some help

IMO

This.

We need WRs or a CB (defense).

[yoyoboy]

Disgusting block by Allen.

[zeebneeb]

Having that shotblocker down in the paint is so huge for teams, it's unbelievable. Makes defenses solid, and is an outlet for guards to bring opposing players right to the shot-blocker.

Allen is a beast down there, and Mobley is excellent as well.

i love the Mitchell heat check when he's 0-3 from deep

[zeebneeb]

I'd love to watch this Magic Cavs game, but the Knicks/Sixers takes priority. Damn.

[Chuck Everett]

I love Paolo and Franz taking the bulk of the shots in the first quarter. if we're gonna win/lose, we're not gonna let our role guys kill us.

[BigDan245]

If Orlando can score a little bit, Cavs won't have the offense to win these games. They just hadn't up to this point.

Thats how it should be. Nothing worse then watching a player who probably won't be on the team next year, constantly jacking up shots.

[Iwasawitness]

This is the true test for the Cavs… magic were very clearly the superior team in that first quarter. I’m curious as to how they will respond.

[Mk0]

Hey! Orlando remembered how to score!
Took them long enough. God damn!

[thelead]

Shots finally starting to fall for the magic but that was somewhat expected at home

[Iwasawitness]

If Orlando can score a little bit, Cavs won't have the offense to win these games. They just hadn't up to this point.

This is a very odd statement to make.

Not really...The best unit in this series is the Magic defense. The worst unit is the Magic offense. They need their offense to just score enough to allow their defense to win these games.

[Chuck Everett]

Cole Anthony playing much better at home.

[zeebneeb]

Magic bench heated at Cole Anthony. Damn. Coach, and Mo Wagner.

We spent a bunch of money on LeVert, Strus, and Niang last summer and they're giving us nothing this series.
