The playoff started off pretty lame but the last few days there's been some epic games.

The sad part in all of this is that if Cleveland manages to win this game, people will chalk it up as JBB making a brilliant adjustment by giving Morris more playing time.

Unless you're trying to say something about Edwards, Paolo is way more Melo.

The Magic's offense has been Paolo ISOs for the last 3 minutes.

CLE crowd doesn't cheer when their players draw fouls, interesting. These are big fouls in a close, important game. I had to look up from my meal to make sure they weren't playing in ORL when Mitchell got fouled on that 3.

I’m starting to think I underrated Paolo. The whole having huge clutch playoff moments before the numbers catch up is giving me ANT vibes.

If the cavs lose this series after tanking to get the magic, they have to blow it up
