I just check the stats of the Magic....They are at 30.5% from 3 this year.....It must be the worst shooting team in the last 10 years?

I guess TNT wasn't confident in Giannis and Lillard playing...MIL-HOU is a much better game.

The issue is not having a floor general to set the team up. Most of their shots are challenged. Nothing open. Pulling teeth for anything.

100% agree....But reason why KCP struggle big time from 3 this season compared to his previous 5 seasons with the lakers or nuggets when he was at 38% or better in each of those seasons

Magic finding out this isn’t the same Cavs team they faced in the playoffs last year that went 7 games.

They’re much deeper and the coaching is light years ahead.

Also Mobley continues to improve while Franz has yet to become an All Star.

There's a lot of stuff going around right now. I know 2 people who have covid and 2 other people who have the flu.

Cavs are playing at another level right now. This is awesome to witness as a fan.

It's their 2nd worst 3pt shooting season ever. Their worst season was 1989-90, the first year they were an NBA franchise lol

Magic have also fallen apart. The FO is absolutely terrible:

According to Brian Windhorst the Magic's FO do not reach out to teams at all in an attempt to make trades:

I tried to tell Magic fans that, they refused to listen. Kept swearing up and down, they were the better team.

Time for Bucks Rockets. Done with this Cavs/magic game. Struggle offense is just brutal to watch.

I've heard they're not a deadline trading team, preferring summer deals instead. As a Spurs fan whose team had seldom made Feb deals but being more opportunistic of late, sometimes you have to strike. It does depend on where a given team is, how ready it is to compete, but yeah you have to facilitate and support a team on the cusp.

If this is true, that is straight malpractice. Unbelievable.

Who wins?
