2024 NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 2: (5) Orlando Magic at (4) Cleveland Cavaliers - Cavs up 1-0

I dunno how we fix this. The wheels have come totally off and I don't think this front office and coach have the balls to do what they need to.

a legit starting guard to ease the playmaking responsibilities from Paolo

we need a guard with legit playmaking ability JUST as much as we need 3 pt shooting on this team

I cant put one over the other, thats how important the lack of playmaking is

[SloNick Russia]

Our only offensive talented guard is Cole and he is having his worst season ever.

Sad part is this FO/ Coaching Staff expects Paolo/Franz to be lead guards lol.

The fact that they both have size who can take advantage of smaller players in the paint should be a bigger focus…..

But no we have no guard who can manipulate an offense and drop it to Paolo in the paint and then the defense fearing a 3pt shot

[Bensational]

Franz! 2 from downtown already! Good sign!

[MartinsIzAfraud]

All that means is it’s too swollen right now to take an MRI or X-rays. Hopefully it stays contusion vs year/hyperextension.

Wouldn't he be labeled out though? But yeah I guess we're not out of the woods yet with that

Feel like after halftime we’ll see the out tag. Regardless hoping for just strain but I doubt we see him play anymore this year.

[ChosenSavior]

Our inability to get loose rebounds has pissed me off all year

Whats moe doing

No, delusional is continuing to play the same players that gives you nothing defensively and offensively and yet not play two players that can at least give you something on the defensive side and will attempt to spread the floor.

Delusional is pining for 3rd stringers to play huge minutes in the playoffs. AB/Jett/Goga/Houstan.

No other coach in the league is going that deep, no other fans are wanting to play 3rd stringers as much as we do. Then once Houstan has a stinker, people ask why "X isn't playing" instead. It's a vicious cycle of goldfish brain lineups.

People have been asking for Isaac to start for months and now people want him back on the bench already.

The actual debate of if AB should be playing over Fultz is obviously the most obvious and pressing need - the rest is legit our guys need to play better.

Welt doesn't seem interested in pulling the trigger to make that happen. He works one night a year and hopes for internal improvement.

Amazing!!!

Lets continue to hope and pray.

Let him play at home!!! Do a Willis Reed or something

[ogmagicfan]

wow only a knee strain for Suggs, thats insane

He really is built different, because that video looked disgusting

I'm just hoping he wasnt misdiagnosed

They wouldn’t release that into. The trainers do manipulative movements to the knee and can tell if there is a tear

for sure, I've had these kinda tests done before

problem is, they misdiagnosed Suggs before with his ankle injury towards the end of his rookie season, so I have to keep that in mind

[Message Boar]

Even their misses are falling straight back into the Cavs laps, it's seriously annoying.

[CalOrl11]

Rebound the ball I beg

[ChosenSavior]

Going with the jumbo lineup. At least he's trying something.

[ogmagicfan]

Our inability to get loose rebounds has pissed me off all year

we suck at 50/50 balls for a team who focused on hustling

although i think we really do suffer from unlucky bounces and a handful of lazy effort from certain players

[thelead]

it only took 60+ minutes for Mose to get to his big lineup against a big team

[Rainwater]

While I understand the frustration with the current game, I wish there was a little more understanding that this team is still rebuilding and this game only is not an indicator what they will be in the future.

[tiderulz]

I hope this front office seeing this with no real point guard

[SOUL]

fun drinking game with Wendell:

how many times he stops to tie his shoe
how many times he gets hit in the face
how many hustle attempt rebounds he goes for that doesn't end up in a rebound

[JF5]

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.

No, delusional is continuing to play the same players that gives you nothing defensively and offensively and yet not play two players that can at least give you something on the defensive side and will attempt to spread the floor. If our mindset is "oh well, we're going to lose anyway because we have no offensive players even those on the bench isn't worth trying out" then why not just forfeit now. Why force the team to play the entire game?

The team has shot 33% in game 1... and they're shooting 38% in this game. Yet, defense is the problem?
