What happened to garland this year?
He is lacking confidence

Double digit lead in this series feels like game with the way these offense have been doing against these defenses :lol:

Strus has a wide open layup and instead throws the ball at Mobley's feet when he's got two guys on him. These boys are SHOOK.

Strus passing up an open layup for a contested pass lol

Looks like the Cavs have already given up.

Fultz running style is weird

I don’t see Cleveland winning this one. Their offense looks a lot worse than I thought.

Everyone expects the Celtics to easily go to the ECF, so they dont seem to care that much about this series.

There are no home and away jerseys anymore

Old Man Ranting at Cloud.

Many teams don't even have team colors. If you fans to picture Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Michael Jordan in their respective jerseys the image will look basically the same. If you ask fans to picture Lebron in a Cavs jersey there would be no consensus because the Cavs changed jerseys every 3 games.

And this is all because 1% of fans feel the need to buy every iteriation of their favorite players' jersey.

Cleveland not showing up, Orlando could be up by 20 right now

Realizing that he's the Cavs' insurance policy for Mitchell has killed his confidence. Think he might need to go somewhere he feels wanted.

Mobley is horrific offensively. Those hoping Cleveland builds around him are drastically overselling his ability on that end of the floor.

The Magic have had pretty similar jerseys their whole existence, they bring back the pinstripes too.

Both teams suck but ORL is getting higher quality shots. Paolo is being left wide open on his mid range shots

Pacernation · Post #2797 » by **Pacernation** » Sun May 5, 2024 5:33 pm

This game is hard to watch. A lot of bricks are thrown around..

I have to assume the NBA's nightmare finals is Minnesota-Indiana but Minnesota-Orlando might be as bad from a ratings perspective.

Cleveland's offense is so bad right now that I feel a little ill watching it.

Magic need to bury them before they get some hope. This is still close enough for Mitchell to go off and tie it up.

Who wins?
