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

All of this and the series would be over already if the Magic’s announcer (Jeff Turner) didn't jinx Franz in game 5... "Franz is 6 for 6 tonight from the line" bricks next free-throw and Magic lose by 1. Thanks Jeff.

Don't think the Cavs let an uncontested three go up with time running out if they weren't up by 4. That really wasn't a 1 point game like people are pretending.

It was literally a 1 point game, no pretending necessary.

Honestly, 1 PM start tomorrow is pretty dumb given it's going to be the only game.

And for those of us not on the East Coast it's even earlier than that. It's a game 7, it should be in prime time. Euro fans who want to watch that game will be happy, though

They are just sticking to the "no one gives a crap about this series" narrative, and making sure no one actually watches the game

Really its probably because they want them to get a few hours of extra rest, because the winner faces the Celtics on Tuesday (which is a silly decision in itself)

Watch on YouTube

Surprising stat about recent game 7s there at the end of the video.

Huge game tomorrow. Whatever happens, im proud of these boys. They've shown me that they are physically, mentally, stylistically built for the play offs. I have more confidence in this core now than I ever did. Now its on the FO to spend that cap space, make some trades to complete the team.

Imagine believing that 1 point doesn't make a difference between game 7 and vacation. I truly hope that the Cavs have your point of view. See you @1pm.

Is Jarrett out for game 7

One thing is for sure, as most of game 7s, it will be boring as **** and one sided. Which side will take it? That is a question...

I'm not sure how you got that out of his post... pretty obvious that's not what he's saying.

True but Utah had some pretty talented squads. A DWade level player would have done so much more with such a team.

Yeah, Utah would have had a dynasty with DWade, Gobert, and Clarkson.

Don’t know about dynasty but Prime Clarkson, prime Gobert, prime Conley, prime Ingles, Bojan Bogdanović with Wade should do much more. Hell, Edwards might do much more with Conley and Gobert than Mitchell.

You're forgetting Minny also has another ANBA guy that can score 26 a game next to all those guys....Which was Donovan's biggest issue in Utah, he had no one to run with him, and no, Bogy and Joe were not those guys.

I don't know if your post was a troll or not lol but you do know your logic is that ANY missed shot or FT affects the game, thus every team should go 100/100/100 or else it's liable to be a reason they lost..it only holds weight if he is shooting to tie or win the game with no time left and misses. Hell, even WCJ missed a FT later than Franz did

If Jarrett Allen doesn’t play, this game goes down to the wire. Him not being out there puts Mobley in another position where he’s forced to bang with bigs all game and defend the rim like a mad man.

But if Allen does in fact play… I think Cleveland does take this one in a double digit victory.

yea the one that kills me is the turnover from mo to end the first giving them a free 3

The nba tv series being the one series going 7 games is kind of funny.

Paolo gets it done and Orlando moves on to the second round. Magic need 10-13 threes this game. Cleveland basically will be forced to admit the Mitchell trade was a failure and a retool commences.

I think retool happens regardless if Cleveland advances unless they somehow make it past Boston

I got PG's future team for the upset today.

Magic vs Celtics will be a good chance for them to sell Paul George in signing there. If they can make it a 6 or 7 game series then PG would be crazy not to sign there.
