Probably the worst "close" game 7 I've seen. Horrendous quality on offense, **** refereeing and even the crowd didn't seem that hyped. All feels so lifeless as if everyone is aware that the winner will get swept by Boston anyway.

I applaud JBB's innovative approach of just don't play any of your sucky bench bigs, but I'm not sure how sustainable it is over a 7 game series.

13 points 3/13 from Banchero in the second half is not going to get it done.

6 points on 1/13 from Franz is not going to get it done.

Yeah Mosley left Banchero out on an island in the second half.

JB adjusted, Mosley didn't counter.

Yeah All those regular season games against the Wizards and Pistons that we didn’t watch are who the Magic really are.


Oh yeah forgot those were the only teams they played. Silly me.

How’s scoot doing?

I think Orlando should pursue Malik Monk and Buddy Hield this offseason. Just start getting some shooting into that backcourt rotation.

Wild that once the Cavs got the same whistle as the Magic, they blow open a double digit lead lol

Well, in my opinion, this game was awesome until the final three minutes. I enjoyed it very much.

What do the Magic need?

We see names like Klay and George Paul thrown around.

This looked like a blowout in the first half until Orlando forgot how to shoot

Can’t wait for the Simmons heart attack and The ensuing Mazzula tear down when that happens, knowing the eventual Celtics gentleman sweep is a formality :lol:

What’s with that tall white boy from Orlando

His shots in the paint are like if he was 6 feet tall

Yeah those Thompson/Morris minutes in game 6 were just brutal. But man do they need Allen back.

Message Boar wrote:We choked and the Cavs deserve to win this, but I don't want to hear Cavs fans complain about officiating ever again. The refs have been a big factor in favor of the Cavs tonight, as is expected in a home game 7 I suppose. Straight up allowed to maul Magic players in the second half while calling ticky tack stuff on the other end.

Suggs got fouled on a 3 twice, no whistle.

That was in favor of the Magic for the entire series up until the second half today
