Magic are better than people think. No stars, but underrated depth. The way they played us a week ago, not surprised they took one against the Bucks.

Probably so. But I didn't expect them to get the taste slapped out their mouth in the first game of the playoffs. With NO Aaron Gordon! And Fournier sucking for most of the game.

They have a lot of size to match up with Giannis as well. Though they're missing Isaac and Gordon which are their best two matchups for Giannis so it's even more impressive they pulled it off today. They were doing what we did two years ago and just building a wall every transition opportunity and it worked well.

Surprising effort from the bucks today. Very surprising.

Daniel Theis >>> Myles Turner. No need to quote me. Indiana can keep him.

Bucks will pull a reverse sweep. Does no one remember the Bucks/Celtics series last year?

I can see the Magic taking another game. Mostly because they don't have quitter Kyrie on their roster.

Nah, Orlando did the same thing last year against Toronto. Bucks in 5.

Yeah Bucks will sweep them in the next 4.

Bucks lost game 1? Hmmmm. I guess that means bucks in 5 instead of 4 now.

Bucks lol! I don’t think they could sustain this the entire series, but at least extend this to 6 games would be nice. Plus they would have a legit problem against the Heat.

I'm shocked. I didn't even think that it was possible the Bucks could drop a game in that series.

Just wanna say that I'd rather have 10 Gordon Hayward injuries before having Hassan Whiteside on my team. Laziest player in the league by far.

I really hope HOU keeps it up til Russ is back. I want to see full-strength small ball in the west playoffs. Super interested to see if it has legs when the game slows down, etc.

Also, shout out to my eternal wish we signed him for vet min so Danny could trade him for a first again hero.

Lakers look terrible lol you hate to see it

Lakers getting waxed makes me happy. Doesn't make up for the Gordo news, but still puts a smile on my face.

I'm also out on the Tatum-for-AD trade. I'm keeping Tatum, thank you.

Read on Twitter

Lakers put up 25 pts in the 1st against the worst defense among playoff teams. Keep it up, guys! Your offense sucks.

Trail Blazers are being scrappy, huh?
Shame on the Lakers, down in the 3rd.

No Isaac either. That guy is even better than Gordon. If they can move one of the two for a shot creating playmaking point guard that can shoot they can be more solid of a team. Isaac or Gordon would look mighty good also on a KD/Kyrie team as super athletic long wing defenders that don’t need the ball instead of Levert or Spencer. These teams make excellent trading partners I think since magic need more elite guards
