How many wide open 3's will the Cavs miss?

I sir do not think it is hilarious.

I don't really see a path to victory for Cleveland with Mobley going down with an injury. Their only real chance is if he comes back and they find their three point shot.

Assuming Orlando wins this series, I tried Mitchell for Herro/Jovic/Jacquez in the trade machine and it worked.

If I were Orlando I would absolutely foul on every Cleveland drive. The officials just won't call it.

Even the ref explanations are rough and disjointed in this game.

Mitchell and Garland are literally just going one-on-one, not creating for anyone else, not even each other.

Both teams are fouling on every drive IMO, that's just playoff basketball baby

Spamming threes is absolutely a way to beat us because we can't produce consistent offense. We feast on more traditional teams that struggle shooting.

The tighter the whistle the bigger the advantage for the bigger team. Puts even more pressure on Cleveland to hit outside shots.

As you should. I like Mitchell but that is one hell of a haul for him.

It will all depend on whether or not Allen is back. He should be given that he's day to day. But I'm more concerned about the health of Mobley, who still hasn't come back in.

Who wins?
