Magic allergic to defense or something? Just letting Mitchell score with ease sometimes lol.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Magic can push them to 7 especially if Zingus is out

I would hope, but sounds like BS to me. Celtics has way too many weapons, Magic has way too little. It would probably end in 4 or 5 like Heat

Very exciting hoop match today.

Orlando's bigs are respecting Mobley's shot blocking too much. Try to dunk on him.

Let's see if the young Magic can keep this game close. Sad how they blew that lead.

They were both just 7-18 that was the crossing point for their efficiencies after Paolo started hot and Mitchell started cold, flipping in the second with the pressure on.

Lol.

Not sure whats funny, saw it last year that Allen/Mobley together hurts the Cavs. Let Mobley be the big and get another shooter around them and Cavs would be much better.
