Not too bad for Magic.

Seems to be a very inconsistent whistle through the first 12 minutes.

Goddamn ESPN is bad.

Honestly, as a magic fan, that was a decent quarter for the young squad's first playoff quarter. Cavs made a few REALLY tough shots there.

This is a hell no from the Magic. They want no part of a Trae. And Trae is not a #1 option lol.

Now ESPN misses the first 30 seconds of the quarter, what is going on with their broadcast

That has to be a charge.

It was a BS call, but not sure you waste a challenge at his early juncture when you're up.

Not a waste if you win it

100% refs have sucked in this one so far.

The Magic physicality on defense is tailor made for the playoffs

If Atlanta adds 5 first round picks which they don't have, maybe then Magic could at least do a helicopter dick in their face before saying no still.

Banchero is like 21, 6'10 versatile defender, lead his team in all 3 main statistical categories and his team fought for play off hone court all year. Nah, let's trade him legit #1 Trae Young, astonishing proposal, Morey school.

I wonder if the ref got faked out by Niang doing a weird knee buckle thing when he was set.

They have been sub-optimal if you are a Cavs fan. What home cooking?

See Magic weathered the storm

Man Niang is a tubby bastard.

Wow--all they let Wagner do they end up calling that nonsense on Okoro?

Soft tech but dumb move by Okoro.

Who wins?
