Cavs wanted this matchup, be careful what you wish for.

As good he is, he isn’t Luka or SGA. I feel like playing with Mitchell is kind of hard. Not a very good passer but explosive scorer. He’s a shooting guard, but he’s overwhelming their actual point guard (Garland) to the point that now they don’t have one and look way too much like Phoenix.

The game is 30% over and they have two assists.

Go Magics! Take the victory!

We have two bigs on the floor who probably won't be in the NBA next season and a third who should never play a minute in the playoffs.

4/21 from the Cleveland starters. Didn’t expect them to fold like this.

People always wanted to blame Mitchell for all of the Cavs struggles, but Garland is the real problem.

Mitchell has a lot of balls. He’ll go down swinging.

Every time I watch Mo Wagner I'm reminded of a guy I played with in high school. He even had a twin who was also on the team.

He used to pull down dudes' shorts in the post. He never got caught, but he almost got punched a lot of times. He was always smiling. He really instilled confidence and courage in teammates, the kind of guy you love to have on your team.

Put your hand up Niang! How do you let Fultz shoot uncontested shots from 5 feet out?

Let's just fire JBB at halftime. Might be our only shot.

Yes Orlando is up by 16! Yes blow the Cavs out. Magic and Boston will be a way more fun matchup to watch.

They probably got an extra home game with this match up. This Cavs disaster would lose to the Pacers in 5 or 6. Unless they would look totally different against the Pacers and their bad defence.
