Yeah, Cavs have a lot of Pyrotechnics in their arena.

Edit: or at least used to when i went in 2008.

Cleveland must keep things close because the second half is when Orlando gets things going.

Orlando’s defense is soul crushing sometimes. That last possession was amazing.

Mitchell with 2 quick fouls, probably just gonna have to let him foul out, Cavs look lost as soon as he sat.

The story of the whole series has pretty much been this:

The Cavaliers start out well, Magic make adjustments, JB doesn't, the rest is history.

The problem is that in the first two games, Cleveland was so much better that Orlando's adjustments couldn't get them the W. Now in this case, with no Allen and Mobley not able to handle the physicality, this is a close game already which is bad news for Cleveland.

Baring some really bad play on Orlando's part, this is suddenly their series to lose. Injuries, you are a bitch.

Yeah he's the only guy who even has a shot to get into the lane and create.

Cavs will be lucky to break 85 tonight.

Nice lil back and forth game so far.

I’m sorry but Mitchell needs to be gone next season. This guy cannot play effective playoff basketball.

All that regular season scoring don’t mean jack and I don’t wanna hear anything about being hurt either

Hmmmmm Morris on Paolo, wonder where we've seen this suggestion.

Like i said, you want someone strong and tough as nails on that kid.

Iwasawitness · Post #1795 » by **Iwasawitness** » Wed May 1, 2024 12:32 am

Darius Garland dominating.

Magic might have to play higher up on screens when Garland has the ball.

Chuck Everett · Post #1797 » by **Chuck Everett** » Wed May 1, 2024 12:33 am

Garland carrying right now.

mcfly1204 · Post #1798 » by **mcfly1204** » Wed May 1, 2024 12:34 am

Darius Garland sighting.

Chuck Everett · Post #1799 » by **Chuck Everett** » Wed May 1, 2024 12:34 am

Wow, what a sequence. Terrible turnover by Mo Wagner.

JujitsuFlip · Post #1800 » by **JujitsuFlip** » Wed May 1, 2024 12:34 am

Garland with 17 in the first quarter, Cavs not gonna go down without a fight. They need to win the second quarter by 10 too, if they even want to have a chance to win this one.

Who wins?
