Neither.

jb is by far the worst coach in the NBA tho.
I've held off on passing judgment on JB for a while, there's no doubt in my mind he's the worst by midway this season...not sure what I expected.

The lack of adjustments and the sticking with the 8 man rotation he's used all season just chaps my rear end.

I tried to warn other Cavs fans this was gonna happen back in the fall and they didn't wanna hear it.

Is there still a Franz vs Mobley debate to be had?


They're different players. I like them both and would take either on my team. Wagner's three point shot is what's keeping him from being an All-star/All-NBA caliber. His free throw shooting shows the stroke is there. Franz becomes 36% and he will be arguable top 15-20 player in the league.

And then Mo Wagner detonates on Jarrett Allen.

Magic are a top 2 or 3 defense, not sure anyone has or should argue otherwise.

ORL is looking like a different team from the first two games.

Mitchell is one of the most overrated "stars" in the league.

DMitch is definitely leaving this off-season.

2 undersized scoring guards just doesn't work.

It's one thing to lead end to end at home. Entirely another to come back from behind after a strong Cavs start.

Magic believe now.

Look out.

that one is debatable IMO but I have Barnes being slightly better... until Franz' 3 point shot returns. It's not debatable if that happens.

If they can make some shots, they'll win the series. I said this during game 1. Cavs can't score well enough to match bucket for bucket. It will all come down to Orlando's ability to score in Cleveland. They've obviously shown they can score at will at home.

Calling it now, Magic are going to win this series. I don't trust this soft ass Cavs team at all to answer the haymaker Orlando has thrown at them in games 3 & 4.

Hes a more natural scorer but Barnes offers more variety.

Miami is the only logical sense for LeBron to return. LeBron clearly wouldn't contend with this Cavs roster.

ironically, I think he would be great on the Magic alongside Suggs.
