Hes a more natural scorer but Barnes offers more variety.

Franz > Barnes

Outside of a healthy Knicks squad, Orlando is the scariest team in the East moving forward to me. Franz, Paolo and Suggs looks like a winning big-3 combo and all drafted. Teams better start drafting with size in mind, because I don't think you will be able to beat them with small ball.

We'll see if Orlando can take this on the road but they have looked like by far the better team the past two games. Cleveland has no answer for Orlando's defense and is getting badly out coached.

Barnes is for sure better, dude does everything and plays both sides of the ball

Franz showing the whole arsenal. It's like he's playing against the Pistons again.

Flagrant 2 for ruining a great basketball moment.

THIS Franz is an all-star. When he's hitting the deep shot, it's all-nba even.

Magic fans are some of the most deluded in the landscape these days. Eyetoma-lite.

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.

The worst part for me is not making the coaching change after last season and having to feel out this roster under someone else. The discussions got muddied figuring out if we have a coaching problem a roster problem or a both problem. We waited way too long to come to this conclusion...hopefully Koby believes the same.

The Magic have a top defense no question but they scored 100 points already, we can't win under those circumstances.

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

They got all butthurt when I said Orlando had the best unit in this series lol

No one cares that you think the Magic have the best defense in this series. Your explanation was just laughable “if Orlando had a better offense, they’d be winning”. Again, you can apply that to literally any series.

This should been a 4-0 sweep. You got lucky Cleveland

Magic leading 51-15 this half.... crazy turnaround

Like I won't debate whether Franz can still become a better player than Barnes but right now, Barnes has been the clear better overall player. Great game from Franz though.

Who wins?
