To be fair Cleveland is throwing out all sorts of weird lineups we haven’t seen. Halftime should be a good time for the staff to figure out how to win this thing.

I know you can’t stop every shot, but it would be nice to see Paolo stop a couple of Mitchell’s shots when he gets the switch. He’s just been escorting Mitchell to the rim to watch him lay it up.

Said the same thing to myself on that play.

His rotations have not changed since game 3. The different is that the role players cannot shot in Cleveland and Paolo is...well whatever he is right now.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Is this anything is a good one. Never would’ve picked Moe Swag to have such a good defensive impact. The great frustrator!

I really don't see what's so difficult about it. He shouldn't be rolling out an all bench lineup on the road, whether he's inexperienced or not.

I miss Niang out there. It's got to hurt to talk that level of **** and have your coach remove you from the rotation In the same series.

It's not fair to him, but Paolo's bad plays are just so eye-poppingly bad that I think it really hurts people's perception of him.

Franz needs to attack strus man. Not settle for a step back 3.
