Yes, I've been watching him all game and I can feel the nerves in almost every move he makes.

Too many whistles. The fouls are killing the game

Lol at Mitchell and Garland talking it out amongst themselves rather than involve JBB.

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.

Franz has fallen apart mentally this game, the early fouls didn't help, then he started missing shots, and is playing scared.

You can tell when it leaves his hand he has no confidence.

Personally I don't think your team has to be good to be able to think another team is also bad. :-?

Both of these teams are ridiculously good at defense. Tends to make the offense frustrating to watch.

This defense looks bad to me personally, but maybe its cause I'm used to watching the Knicks.


Kinda hard to compare. Knicks just gave up a 117 Ortg to that Phili team. But Phili actually has a good offense (unlike the Cavs and especially the Magic).

A healthy Knicks team with OG, Robinson, and iHart, might have been an elite defense this year. Instead they were just okay and we don't have enough data on them yet.

I don't understand how someone looks at this game, sees how junked up every single possession is and don't understand that's the defense. Like look at that possession from Suggs that just happened.

A lot to learn and so much room for improvement. Let's see if they have one more little spurt.

It should be too much for him. It was too much for the whole team including the coach. This is how it's supposed to play out.

Magic are likely losing this but Paolo putting up 36pts and 15rbs with little help in a game 7 is what I needed to see. I wanted to see Suggs and Franz step up but there is no doubt Paolo is a legit #1 option.

I mean it's just low level Twitter **** GB opinions then lol. A team is bad because they lost a game 7 but overachieved the entire season as the 4th youngest team? "Magic played bad" or "both these teams would get destroyed by the Celtics" are opinions I'd 100% agree with.. I'm pushing back on being called bad though..

Suggs is a Russell Westbrook special type of idiot
