So 3 straight possessions in a one possession game late didn’t cost us?

Cole Anthony is our Georges Niang and Mosley doesn't know it...

I think he does, just doesn't want to hurt his feelings. Dude needs to hit the weight room this summer.

I really do not want to give out bans in the immediate aftermath of a tough playoff loss.

But if you are swearing at another poster, consider this your first and only warning. Cut it out now, or you'll be taking a timeout until the next playoff game or longer.

Thank you.

We still winning this series. Cavs aren't good. We can beat them.

Nah man, this was our chance. No excuse not to win tonight.

Cmon man, there's obvious growth in progress. Completely different team then the 1st two Cavs home games. Magic winning this in 7.

You're keeping me hopeful, I appreciate it! Proud of this team regardless.

These are the games we gotta experience as a young team.

I woulda shot a three there, personally, because if we score they still get a shot for the win... but we've seen Franz convert that so many times.

These losses will happen when your stars are that young. They earn their stripes, they will learn from this.

On the last shot by Franz I’m totally with the aggressive take.

That’s def an insta ban

You should have been banned before birth.

Yea you an old grumpy MFer.

lol I respect it

[Optimus_Steel]

We win when we defend and move the ball

ISO Paolo hurt the game flow, he is at his best when he attack the basket, not when he dribbles behind the 3pt line

Anyway, he ll learn from this

Agreed

Get the fk off this forum you low iq fking ****. **** kill yourself.

It’s making me laugh too

[BlueBalls]

UHHHH I FEEL SICK

[3ddman23]

Do we get blown out Friday?

I'm extremely worried about that. After a tough loss. We just come out flat

[Magicman125]

Do you really want G-Harris back?

His defense is good but he's been a literal zero on offense too many times for me to really care that much. And Fultz has been playing well since game 3 on offense. If he can defend more consistently in 6 and 7 maybe Gary won't be that missed.

Fultz defense wont suddenly become good, he's poor on defense, and even if Harris isnt making 3s he still provides spacing by the fact that the defense will react to him at the 3 pt line

Fultz can score all he wants. He could go 5/5 from 3 the Cavs will keep leaving him open from 3

Fultz has played good defense at times, he's capable of it. Cole isn't.

[Optimus_Steel]

Franz being awful all game and freezing out Paolo for the last shot against their best defender is a decision.

Ummmm no

The ball movement was non existent man. And everyone was just stagnant while Paolo ISO'd

Yep

And too many to from Paolo, but he ll clean that up

Clear lane, just a great defensive play by Mobley. We'll bounce back.

[CocoaFan]

The inconsistency of Franz has just been the most crushing part of this season.

I love Franz but he just seems to loose his aggression on offense for no apparent reason. He wasn't even looking to score in the 4th quarter until the last couple of possessions. Only took 11 shots which is not enough for him. He's young and still developing. He'll figure it out.

[SHAQ32]

Paolo looks like he's point shaving sometimes, between the turnovers, shot selection, and the body language

Not on our home floor we don't, this team has shown nothing but heart all year. Won't roll over in a do or die situation in front of a packed house of fans.

The problem is, we can't beat them on the road and that's why they are favored.

Did you just not watch the game? This was a very winnable game. Even with Jarrett Allen, we can beat them. We're our own worse enemy, mainly due to inexperience, nothing Cavs are doing really.

Something we need to work on now and for next year is better decision making and more crisp execution. I think over time that will improve.

All of us are inordinately passionate about a small market team in Florida, that the vast majority of even basketball fans do not care about. Even when we get heated with even each other gotta remember the bigger picture.
