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

Mobley looks so much better without Allen out there with him.. they need to get rid of Allen.

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.

We would've closed this out in 6 if Allen played.

I wonder which of these two teams would present a bigger challenge for the Boston Celtics.

[Else_where]

Such a pity because I think Orlando would be a tougher opponent for Celtics vs Cavs being swept in a blow out fashion every single game.

What a collapse by Orlando

[hippesthippo]

Every single Magic **** is short.

They're tired. This game is Cleveland's unless Orlando starts chugging some RedBulls.

That quarter was literally Mitchell and Strus playing scrimmage at the YMCA.

[vulture]

What happened to wagner’s jumper?

[FrightCoward]

You felt like the Cavs were the better team all series long and even in the 1st half, you knew it was possible that they would comeback. this is no shocker.

Cavs are a completely mid team, lol. There has been no point in this series where Cleveland has looked definitively better. They got absolutely clowned in Orlando, nearly lost game 5 and were down 18 at a point in this game. Mitchell deserves his flowers for this carry job he’s done the last two games, because the rest of that team isn’t good.

[Iwasawitness]

Well this took a turn. Cavaliers found their offense and the Magic have gone insanely cold.

[BigDan245]

None of these Cavs players have any ability other than Mitchell to drive to the rim without getting the ball ripped. It's an auto turnover.

[KDS91]

WTF is Orlando doing.

What you might expect from a young inexperienced team: screwing the pooch

[ForeverTFC]

Every single Magic **** is short.

They're tired. This game is Cleveland's unless Orlando starts chugging some RedBulls.

They’re shook. Young team + bad shooting to begin with is not a recipe for success in a game like this.

[thelead]

I feel bad for Paolo... just little help from anyone else

[Rendei]

Neither of these teams stand a chance against Boston if they can't curb these full quarters of awful offense.

[NotaHypeJob]

Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs disaster classes

[Im Coming Home]

Lol.

We would've closed this out in 6 if Allen played.

I don't think so. As a fan of a team not involved, and saw it first hand last year when the Knicks beat the Cavs, that front court duo together just don't work, and the quicker the Cavs realize it, the better.

[Last Guardian]

Sorry to the people who don't like the Cavs and wanted the Magic to win. We just suck horribly on the road. In Orlando this would have been a double digit win.

[Pacernation]

Franz can't buy a bucket. If they can control Banchero to some degree the Cavs should win this. Don't see how the Magic can score enough to turn this around when Franz can't hit the broad side of a barn.

[Riverwalk2021]

I would hate to have losing players like Levert and Garland on my team. Total negatives on both ends.

[FreeBird23]

Magic choking hard wow

These are both elite defensive teams. One teams "choke" is usually just the other one playing a stretch of dominant defense. These teams are so hard to score on.

It as nothing to do with defense today.
Orlando miss a lot of open 3's.
