The Magicians are totally bought in to "don't go to high or low" with emotions. Each player in the presser clearly stated the goal is simple: win this series.
No party, no celebrating. Total focus on the work.
If the Magic outrebound the Cavs again, it will be easy to predict another win. I think Orlando proves Cleveland cannot score on Orlando, after all.

Just FYI, the game looks to be on TNT.
ESPN has the draft and ESPN2 has college baseball.
It's unfortunate, because TNT has such crap video quality.
I'm glad they may not get TV rights going forward.

Ducklett i won't be in game thread probably again, and i will use this opportunity to flip a middle finger to my tv provider who prefered Spanish second division game and Lakers new sweep over Magic v Cavs game.
Anyhow, it will be interesting how Cavs took that knockdown. Will they wobble or recover.

Gambling sites LOVE Orlando in this game. Apparently not only is the team 2 to 1 in covering the spread at home, when favorite, the team is a little better than 2 - 1 to cover the spread as a home-favorite. They also like the over in this game (201.5). If I was a gambler, I do think Orlando "only" being favored by 1.5 points is soft. This is the third best home team in the East after all. But I wouldn't touch the O/U in ether direction, Way too much statistical noise there.

We are probably favorites in Game 4 but a few things to worry about.
- The intensity gap gonna be closer now, because Cavs have much more pressure
- The adjustment advantage is gone too, now Cleveland has to adjust a bit & we dont know how this effects Orlando
- The Cavs are due for a good 3Point shooting game (much more likely back in Cleveland)
- As great as Paolo was, but he probably wont hit as many difficult shots in one game for quite some time. So he & the teams needs to find ways to get him more easier shots than all those fadeaways he normally hits at a low rate.
+ Even with the Cavs playing with more urgency we still should be the more intense team
+ We are a great home team
+ Franz is due for a big game
+ Our Bench probably gonna outplay the Cavs bench
+ I think we are now better prepared for them with Wendell putting a body on Allen & setting screens on offense to create easier shots & Isaac giving the bench more balance

Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 4: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers at (5) Orlando Magic - Cavs up 2-1
I'm a bit worried even though we just won by 40.
- Matinee games are always weird and have a weird energy about them where anything may happen
- We won't shoot as well as we did last game, probably (and Paolo won't shoot a good % if he's taking the same shots as last game)
- Cavs will shoot better, make adjustments and be more desperate than last game
All in all, I think at most we win by like 10, at worst we lose by like 20 if we're feeling ourselves too much from last game and in actuality it's more like game 1 an game 2. Or anything in between those 2 extremes. A close back an forth game would be cool, although bad for my heart.

I think the Cavs bring it today. Doesn't mean they'll win, but I doubt they fold like in game 3.

This would be the perfect game for Anthony Black to get rotational minutes if possible, especially at home!
Defensively he would make the Cavs guards a living nightmare.

Magic by 8. Magic in 6. Let's get this win and bring it back to CLE with all the pressure on them in a 2-2 three-game series.

Looks like 74% of bets are on Orlando to win outright. Love that.

Cleveland is going to be ready today. They'll make adjustments and know that if they win this one, they very, very likely win the series. But if we come out with the same intensity as last game, we'll be tough to beat too. I think this will be the first game that is really close.

Cleveland isn’t exactly shooting the ball that well, we had just been missing a lot of our shots. Hopefully we can continue hitting shots so we can spread out their defense again this game.

If Cavs fans are to be believed, they think their coach is terrible and doesn't make adjustments. I think it will simply come down to shooting.

Man what a win this would be if they could pull it out. The pessimistic side of me says they come out flat after a massive blow out win. But the other side of me wants to feel like they can do it and get the W and tie it 2-2.
I absolutely don't expect a blow out but make a good gane and give yourself a chance to win.
Go magic!!!
