Garland has found his shot.

No one said they’ll lose this series. It still stands that they were cowards who chased a series win over a long playoff run.


We literally have a poll showing the majority had Orlando winning this series... and that still blows my mind.

He's pretty much taken over this game. If Garland and Mitchell are both lighting you up, you're pretty much done.

Yeah my bad, I saw the poll results when I hit submit. FWIW, I had it 4-2 Cavs and I may have been too generous to the Magic.

A team with 0 offense and without a first option isn’t winning a playoff series barring an injury or something. I’m not sure why anyone outside Orlando chose the Magic here. I honestly think any playoff team, if healthy, beats these Magic.

The Magic FO should be embarrassed that Paolo has to bring the ball up the court and run the point

A couple good baskets by Orlando and poor possessions by Cleveland and just like that... Orlando has a chance to cut this to 12 with 5:11 left. That's plenty of time for a comeback. Don't let up on them Cavs.

Orlando won 4th quarter of game 1 by 1pt. Theyve lost every other quarter of the series so far. Im not sure how theyll adjust. Theyll prolly take 1 at home but this is a quick series

Don't look now but this is about to be a 9 point game. Cleveland has let Orlando right back into this game.

Cavs really need to stop walking the ball up, Magic are preying on this slow pace.

This game is not over by any means. Orlando has plenty of time to steal this one away.

Garland taking a dump in his pants every fourth quarter is unfortunately a running theme. The dude is just not built for these moments. He’s too fragile mentally and physically.

Well, that was a good run by Orlando. They even made me nervous for a second. But that 6-0 run by Cleveland more than likely put this one out of reach.

Suggs has heart, he's out there limping around after he fell to the floor.
