Niang cannot continue to get minutes. He has been borderline unplayable at this point.

Well, when your sipping a doughnut slurry out of a "water bottle" on the bench, it will greatly limit ones mobility.

[Dirk]

Magic are having fun.

[VFX]

Magic fans are some of the most deluded in the landscape these days. Eyetoma-lite.

Ok Raps fan.

Look forward to you all maxing out Franz if your org believes the same.

Looking forward to you tanking your whole season for the weakest draft in history. Good stuff.

[Chuck Everett]

Outside of a healthy Knicks squad, Orlando is the scariest team in the East moving forward to me. Franz, Paolo and Suggs looks like a winning big-3 combo and all drafted. Teams better start drafting with size in mind, because I don't think you will be able to beat them with small ball.

We don't have nearly enough offense and shooting to hang with Boston if we make it to the next round but this team has a bright future

I'm talking moving into the future. This season is just found money. Anything they do from this point forward (whether they win or lose the series) is gravy. Boston will soon have so much money wrapped up in that starting five, they're gonna have to make some decisions, that's why they're in championship or bust. They'll probably still be clear Eastern favorites for the next 3 years.

[SOUL]

Lol why we beefing with Raps fans!

[Magicman125]

And people think Barnes is better than Franz… foh

Barnes is for sure better, dude does everything and plays both sides of the ball

Franz plays both sides of the ball too though? One of our better defenders both from a 1-on-1 and from a Team D perspective, can run the offense as a secondary playmaker, can be a primary scorer. Watch when his 3pt shot bounces back and y'all will see.

No reason for Cavs fans to speak rn.

Like I won't debate whether Franz can still become a better player than Barnes but right now, Barnes has been the clear better overall player. Great game from Franz though.

I’ve seen Magic fans debate whether Franz should get the max, then turn around and say stuff like this. At least stay consistent.

I had to listen to Ceruti on the ringer pods spread his homer propaganda all year and it’s actually Insane what’s coming out of that market.

Ceruti is awful. They need to get rid of that bum

the finger pointing to the shirt makes it even funnier in a stupid way

I feel bad for Cavs fans. I really do. This has to be disheartening regardless of what happens the rest of the series. This isn't going to impress Mitchell and that's all that matters at the moment.

[Chuck Everett]

Elite two-way play from Isaac today.

[zeebneeb]

Good grief this is a beat down now.

Let's see how the Cavs respond.

I mean, Mitchell hasn't exactly been impressive himself. He's been awful in Orlando.

[DowJones]

Cleveland is a really bad offensive team and I am not sure where they will get points from if they don't just get hot and start hitting their 3's at home. Mitchell is clearly compromised and the Cavs don't have any other player that can hurt you.

For sure but losing Mitchell will set the franchise back. They gave up A LOT for him.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Lol why we beefing with Raps fans!

That one Toronto fan has been super encouraging, why are we beefing with them? Whatever it is, let it go.

Niang cannot continue to get minutes. He has been borderline unplayable at this point.

When Allen rests, JBB has to play TT at center and Mobley at PF. Niang probably has to play with Allen when Mobley rests.

[jkvonny]

Im just tuning in on the game .

Seen halftime score with Cavs up. But now its another blow out win for Orlando.
Magic found their offense. Cleveland may be in trouble. Gonna be a long series.

If Magic hangs on. Congrats for evening up the series, 2-2 !

[JujitsuFlip]

win or lose, what % do you put on mitchell being a cav next season?

0% if the front office is smart but their president of basketball operations is a literal drunk.
