And just like that, Cleveland has made a couple of threes. They're on a 13-2 run to start this half

Magic youth being exposed here. Cleveland better matchup for Boston anyway so this is better for the NBA.

WCj is useless. And their guards can't defend quicker guys. Until they find replacements ORL will continue to struggle. Good thing is they have plenty of assets to go and address these issues this offseason. They cannot run it back. Learn these tough lessons and do something about it.

Gonna have to gut it out because he's in a lot of pain.

Cavs on a run after being down at the half. Cavs regains the league.

Magic are actually a pretty bad matchup for Boston (They wouldn't win)

But Jonathan Isaac is the kind of defender that gives Tatum a lot of trouble

It will come down to White and Brown, who should be more than enough.

Every time I’m reminded of how limited this Magic team is, It underscores how underwhelming this Cavs core is.

That's going to keep happening as long as he's playing on the same team as Garland/Mitchell/Allen, but thanks for further demonstrating that you actually don't know anything at all about Mobley's actual development since all you're going off of is his PPG.

Well offense is 50 percent of the game so it’s pretty important to analyze
Searching a player's PPG is not analysis lmao

I’m surprised Bickerstaff finally has learned to adjust in a 3rd quarter on the road. Orlando absolutely annihilated them in the 3rd the previous two games.

Banchero needs to get it going if he wants to keep his season alive.

If Cleveland wants any shot to compete against Boston, they probably have to win tonight. Games 1 and 2 would be Sunday and Tuesday and game 3 would be Saturday...If they have to go 7 in this series, they wouldn't have any time off.

What am I missing? Cleveland isn’t doing anything different. The Magic are just in one of their quarter long offensive slumps.

Yeah, not saying either of this team have a chance; should be Boston 4-0 if Magic and 4-1 if Cavs so i guess won’t matter anyway.
