Jalen Suggs going down took the wind out of a lot of us.

Everybody in the East know how to defend us now, but Cavs have the personal in Allen and Mobley to lock in inside and shot down our offense completely.

2-15 from three. If only we knew this was such a weakness before now.

This team is where it is because of a laughably easy post-ASB schedule. We really didn’t belong here.

Now this “playoff experience” many thought we needed is going to be a nightmare our guys just want to forget. That’s still useful; if this team is truly made up of competitors. But Suggs may have seriously injured himself and I think we all see how far away this roster is from actual contention.

Next year may not be any better.

They wouldn't even bother guarding either guy :lol:

They'd just double team Paolo and Franz and they wouldn't even be able to get to the rim and create with Mobley and Allen in there.

That's a death kneel for the offense.

Are you watching the game? They are doing the same thing anyway.


So suggest compounding the issue with non offensive players? You can at least hope Cleveland will stop making shots. But the offense would be absolutely dead. No 3 point threats, no ability to penetrate the basket with the lack of spacing.

If you're hoping for some sort of comeback with that offense with their offensive woes then youre being delusional.

Someone need to pull Paolo aside and teach him how to take the easier shots. For whatever reason he likes to make things difficult on himself. That's part of his inefficiency problem.

Honestly I don't care at all if the Magic get swept. Just don't have a blown knee for Suggs that kills next season. That's all I ask.

If that’s all it is, they can have the 4 game sweep. Having Suggs avoid serious injury is all that matters.

The magic were going to get swept regardless.

I disagree, we would've played A LOT better at home, especially with how Suggs and the Kia Center crowd feed off one another.
