2024 NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 7: (5) Orlando Magic at (4) Cleveland Cavaliers - Series Tied 3-3

[Last Guardian]

Need a strong bench performance. Very strong

[ogmagicfan]

franz isnt even looking to get anything going

we need Harris in the game

They're playing some elite defense out there

for sure theyre packing the paint heavy, hence we need to get more spacing on the court to make them pay for collapsing 3 players on a drive

make them have to guard the 3 more so we can draw more fouls on drives

[MagicFrenchie]

Mitchell has traveled like 3 times in the last 5 minutes. Unreal

the fact that he is flexing after those travels bro

[PrimeThyme]

My only hope for Franz is that something comes out after the season about an elbow injury he played with all season

[Bergmaniac]

So many hot takes in this thread.

[p0peye]

So I guess we're learning that Paolo is the clear 1a and Franz is probably a 3a.

Some of us have been saying that Franz is 3rd option for some time this season, he is very one-dimensional.

Magic got some calls in the first half so the refs could lay out a complete runway for the Cavs in the second half.

[FrightCoward]

Franz is a 3rd option at best on a championship team. Like the guy, he’s a solid player, but very clearly massively overrated by the analytics community who thinks he’s Orlando’s best player. Lmao, not even close. Dude has been a complete zero the majority of this series outside of two games.

travels and sometimes when he does that high dribble he be carrying but ive never seen it called on him

Easier said than done they gotta make shots first.

[fendilim]

the way the refs are calling fouls on the Magic and the contact required opposed to the amount of contact the Magic need to initiate to get fouls called are like night & day

Said that before halftime.

Refs keeping it close. Dictating the game.

If that

[Message Boar]

Nobody playing well for us right now. Praying we find our good form in time

Flexing after traveling and drawing a foul is pretty funny.

[SloNick Russia]

Wow. Where were you guys when Franz won as Game 4 when Paolo had 9 points.

We need another offensive creator to take pressure off Paolo.

[Last Guardian]

Franz starting taking middies a few games ago, now has stopped again. He needs to find his offensive game next season. Can't just rely on getting to the basket.

Well, for a 3rd option it is to be expected that he will struggle against certain defenses which take away their sweet spots.

[Bergmaniac]

Another horrible offensive possession, we wasted the clock doing nothing and then Franz had to force a tough shot.

[LongHairedBob]

Franz...
