2024 NBA Playoffs - East 1st Round: #4 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. #5 Orlando Magic (CLE WINS 4-3)

[SweetTouch]

Franz... 1/15... in a game 7...

I just looked it up this guy is really 6’10?

How

I don’t know if Orlando will be back. I see sub 500 for them next year tbh

If they refuse to address the backcourt scoring, I agree they will stagnate, but this team will be making playoff runs for the foreseeable future.

Damn Suggs is crying. The guy actually cared which shows in his game.

dumb take, we have 2 top 10 draft picks that didnt even play in the playoffs, all our picks and the most cap space of any team in the league.

and our #1 option is 21

Awesome comeback Cavs fans congrats! Donovan is a baller. Se ya Tuesday.

Magic fans congrats on a great season, you guys have a bright future.

I applaud JBB's innovative approach of just don't play any of your sucky bench bigs, but I'm not sure how sustainable it is over a 7 game series.

Yeah those Thompson/Morris minutes in game 6 were just brutal. But man do they need Allen back.

The sad part is Niang was worse, but yes, definitely need Allen back against the Celtics. Getting him AND Wade back would be huge.

Did Franz have the worst game 7 in nba history

[SOUL]

Looks like a battle of two teams that are too good to draft any more pieces. But I don’t see the growth potential for either. They look like eternal 1st or 2rd exists.

No potential in 21 and 22 year olds is kinda wild.

I'm bowing out of this thread cause its just weirdos dancing on the grave of a young overachieving team mad over pushback of this team as being "bad" lol.. and just straight up weird takes.. but yeah, yes, the offense was bad.. shocker.. it was most of this year and still got 47 wins.

Franz... 1/15... in a game 7...

Suggs was just as bad. 5 turnovers on top of that

[Dirk]

It's perplexing that Wagner can shockingly lead his national team to win the FIBA World Cup and then be this bad at this stage.

Boston pretty small right now with Porzingis out. Horford and Luke Kornet aren't exactly forcing you to play big.

Damn now I know why I mostly avoid GB. Garbage prisoner of the moment hot takes.

Props to the Cavs for holding on & continuing to chip away at the Magic. Feel for the young magic because they fought like hell.

Hang around and fight some non Magic fans to release the frustration!

I know a lot of people are hating on the series, but 7 games and Mitchell and Paolo doing what they did the last two games....THAT is what it's all about.

There are only really 4 contenders this year (and most years) anyway...

Who says no to a Franz - Garland based trade?

[Mamba Mentality]

Ironically, Mitchell is the exact type of guy that the Magic need. Someone who can break down the defense and get his own shot when needed.

[KnicksGadfly]

Cavs gotta resign JB at this point!

[Marvin Martian]

I know it's early but ORL should start fielding offers for Franz. A non shooting wing that can't defend that well is a bad fit next to PB
