Any time Banchero is the last line of defense you know you can dunk on his head, he plays so small. Nice poster by Mitchell.

We need to really have a deeper discussion about what’s the criteria of a “poster” because that wasn’t even close to one.

Black can actually play a little bit and isn't just a meme

Mitchell looks gassed, kudos to Mosley for playing 12 guys today, hard to do that in close games.

Kidd has drawn up some horrible ATO plays for end of the game situations but this one might be almost ranked nr1. With a Dinwiddie 180 fade away contested 3pt shot that wasn't even needed that desperately.

Sixers fans in shambles. Could've tied for fifth worst record with a loss here when their pick is top 6 protected, if they don't fall below the Nets by season's end it would only take one team hopping them for that pick to go to OKC

Mobley is the best player in Cleveland.

Big time credit to this Orlando team… they are tough and scrappy and really putting the clamps on Cleveland.

Cleveland has been flirting with a loss to a bad team ever since they beat Boston. When they face a good team like Milwaukee or Memphis, they look great. They have really struggled against bad teams the last few weeks.

Well, good job Orlando Zebras, Tony Brothers was your MVP today.

Some of the worst no calls I've seen all season.

Oh well, still #1 team in the NBA, record wise.

And that’s game. Can’t blame the refs and you can’t blame Mobley being out. We missed a lot of open looks throughout this one and Orlando played brilliantly down the stretch. Kudos to them.

To be fair, the officiating was pretty one sided today. But that’s not why we lost.
