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

If we can't win this series then I want this team to be embarrassed into making the moves that every single person who watches NBA basketball knows need to be made. I hope the front office is embarrassed but likely they are not.

They would adamantly disagree with you.

Weltman is overwhelmingly pleased with the progress and how "ahead of schedule" the Magic are.

A famous coach once said you lose big then you lose small then you win small then you win big. Either the guys learn from getting mollywopped or they fold and we ship them out and try again. Welcome to NBA basketball.

The Caleb Houston button just makes a long extended fart noise.

We need someone like Trae Young on this team. We are so stagnant on offense.

Putting shooters into a game where you... can't shoot?

I like Caleb. I have been begging that he gets more minutes throughout the season so that he can get into a rhythm but he had games where he literally wouldn't shoot. Someone need to pull him aside and tell him to increase his volume.

I hate that these games make me doubt Paolo and Franz.

One possession Cole was holding his hands behind his back, and Garland walked into a 3. I'm not sure what Cole was doing.

Mosley pulls Fultz from the rotation and he still can't win lol.

If he doesn’t make a move this offseason we could take a BIG step backwards

Why would Cole go under the screen all the time when he guard Garland? Already 2 threes from Garland.

Franz is so intimidated by the paint presence of Cleveland and he didn't score in the paint all game.

The bigs are the difference of this game. Magic needs an upgrade in the paint whether it is rebounding or protecting the paint. Our rotation ain't doing it, period and it exposed Magic like crazy.

Plus we can not shoot a 3. Game over

I’d actually be ok with this if I thought they’d meaningfully improve the team in the off-season. But I don’t and they won’t.

Oh well, at this point it's probably better long-term to get whooped instead of appearing you're closer than you are with some fluky lucky shooting.

The bad shooting I was prepared for, the bad coaching and rebounding have been more disappointing. Can't believe I thought we had a chance tonight.
