Cavs +4.5 near tip-off.
Sorry Magic fans i think this ends tonight. i want to see a Game 7 though so Orlando getting one at home tonight won’t be too bad.

It will be interesting to see what kind of an impact Harris being out has on the Magic though. From my understanding, Isaac will be in the starting lineup to create a bigger lineup. Speaking of lineup changes, Marcus Morris will now be starting at the four for Cleveland.
Very interested to see how this all plays out.
I think that's a mistake on Cleveland's part.
Morris was fine last game, but with a couple days to game plan, he can be exploited.
The Magic might start out fast if Mosely has a good game plan, and that will be tough for Cleveland to recover from. The Magic don't give up many leads.

Morris shoulda been starting since the 2nd half of game 3.Iwasawitness wrote:Jarrett Allen and Gary Harris both ruled out for tonights game.

I don't expect this will be a blowout. Strus needs a big game to spread the floor (4-6 threes). Magic going all-in on the big lineup tonight with Gary Harris out. Paolo needs to trust his teammates as well.

Morris can be exploited within a couple minutes at this stage of his career, but the Cavs just need him to get a body on guys and hit open shots.

Nothing in this ESPN broadcast (before the game) makes me think that these guys have watched a single second of this series.

Morris has a lot of postseason experience and toughness the Cavaliers desperately need against a team going big heavy. They're also going to want to keep that floor spread out as much as possible.
It will be interesting to see how the ball moves around for Orlando without Harris playing.

I swear the same officials do games every night. Tony Brothers, Bill Kennedy, Scott Foster, Zach Zarba and Marc Davis.

Just so everyone know, line set at a low 201.0 this game. Expect a very low scoring game i guess...

I really like this Orlando team. Curious to see what they add to their squad going forward, though i hope they leave Malik Monk alone

The fact that the Magic got three points out of that broken possession makes me sad.
Morris has to be better than that and be ready to contest.

First quarter Donovan Mitchell always looks so springy and peppy.
Jalen Suggs is one of my favorite players to watch. He plays like a mexican cartel is going to kill his entire family if they lose. Its endearing.

Lol at Morris being winded half way through the 1st quarter.
