DG better have more than one good quarter in him, but that's how he's supposed to look.

Thompson, Morris, Merrill better use all 6 fouls and they better all be hard fouls
The Cavs can’t get punked by Mo Wagner…

Yeah he's the only guy who even has a shot to get into the lane and create.
Cavs will be lucky to break 85 tonight.
Garland and Levert can both do that too...

It looks like JB has FINALLY paid a little bit of attention to what's going on and has made actual adjustments. Niang hasn't seen a single minute and quite frankly, he shouldn't play any minutes for the rest of the series. I'm glad Morris is out there getting playing time and I'm glad he's already playing far better than Niang did at any point in this series.

Too bad Merrill can't shoot straight since that horse collar injury. At least Don is warming up attacking the rim

Cavs just need to keep running...They're getting nothing in the half court.

I haven't seen Gary Harris hit a jumper this entire series.

Mitchell is infuriating. This guy is an absolute possession killer. Horrible shot after horrible shot

Good game. 1 point game at the half.
Could come down to the wire.

If Cleveland doesn't start pushing the ball more, this game is over. Orlando has totally put the clamps down on their half court offense. They'll either need Donovan to go nuclear or they need to create more odd man rushes and PUSH. Do not slow the pace down.

This Cavs team is so soft. They have no heart, no energy.
Pair that with the most uncreative and boring playoff offense ever and you’re not gonna win many playoff games

We'll see if the Cavs can survive the Magic's trademark 3rd quarter onslaught.
1st half was fun to watch though, went by quick too.

He didn't check in until around the
7 minute mark and then only got one shot.

I’ll be legit baffled if Cavs win this game. Magic have been the better second half team and it’s not close.
