Magic can push them to 7 especially if Zingus is out

No chance. Boston would beat either of these in 5 max.

Mitchell's shotmaking has been ridiculous these last two games.

Okoro's got some real dog in him. One of the few Cavs whose fight impressed me last spring.

I keep thinking Donovan's wheels are about to fall off and then he takes over anyway. Dude is battling for sure.

Mobley looks so much better without Allen out there with him.. they need to get rid of Allen.

Magic too young this year and what’s with the coach. No timeouts to stop the bleeding?

How did Suggs not travel there?

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.
