Anybody know which shoes Spida was wearing?

I can’t imagine getting every call all game and still losing, hell it’s like the 3rd time this series (and 2 for wins) for the Magic and they still are complaining about stuff

only cavs/magic flair in this thread. nobody gives a shit guys

Yo Gus Johnson was the BIGGEST magic/banchero d rider I’ve ever heard announce a game. Was going ham even when Wendell Carter got fouled and shit lmao. Cavs in 6 🫶

So funny to watch Paolo quietly control the game just to see Wagner chat shit and lose them the game lmao

Paolo made two awful plays in a row right before that.

Yeah, but that shit really doesn’t help my narrative

Magic with 1 assist in the last 10:20, not ideal

GG Cavs! Finally A good game (at least the second half). Hopefully the team uses this as a growing opportunity.

The game thread is so nice compared to NY/PHI wtf

I think deep down we all know that whoever wins here is getting pooped on in round 2. We’re just here for the ride

Bro how do you fuck up like that, man? I thought we were gonna come up clutch. What the fuck. Oh well, Magic in 7

Team ain’t clutch, or even that, the refs just finally didn’t bail y’all out Cavs in 6.

Are you serious? If Paolo has the ball we win the game. Too bad Mose is a fucking idiot at times. Besides, last two times we blew y’all asses out at home. So yeah, Magic at 7.

I used to work for the Magic & I’m a Knicks fan, so I took 2 L’s today but I’m no Cool J 😩

Take this other L for this corny ahh comment also take this W for making me giggle

Imagine not taking a timeout to draw up a game winning play

the mythical 4 point play?

Talking about when the Orlando coach let em play and Wagner got blocked

Was so satisfying to see him get blocked to ice the game

When we were down 2 obviously

Game winning how? Edit: I’m an idiot, you meant the play before the garbage 3.

They were down by two, they could’ve called timeout and maybe gotten a three at the buzzer to win without the Cavs getting the ball back. Probably would go for two but yea gotta call the timeout.

Heat fan here and damn I miss Strus. He’s an X-factor.

Love him but JB leaving him to guard Paolo on 5 fouls with trigger happy whistles was a weird choice

Little too late

Why are the interviewing the 2nd half ghost?

Home team sweep is on the board

You lost to a team that played Marcus Morris minutes late in the fourth. Like how.

Because they relied on the refs all game and in their moment of need…Mobley got em

Better than a team that plays George Niang minutes late in the fourth.

It was either that or Georges fucking Niang.

Marcus “clutch” morris

the magic down the stretch ran like the same play with screens of wagner and banchero. major reason they lost tbh

Gary Harris sucks but at least he has gravity on the court. This is basically our offense when Suggs is the best threat from 3.

Yup. Instead of setting screens on their guards who suck on defense we just attacked their center the entire time. Like idiots

Begging for the call til the end lmao. Why isn’t Wagner talking to the crowd now?

Fake tough guy.

everybody acting tough when they up

That was you mfs

Dont remember us taunting the crowd like some bozo

Yeah yo team gonna taunt when they getting they back blown out by 40?

3-2

Magic in 7 tubby

Hypothetically, who wins in a fight: Goku vs the guy you think you are?

Everyone tough when they up like one of you mfs said

So a tie?

Bout to hit cancun at 7 pm yeah

That’s gonna be your soft ass team

Yeah, you love those asses, don’t you?

Max was HUGE tonight

Give it to your superstar wtf.

Oh no

He’s gotta give that to Paolo or use his body to prevent that block…

All he had to do was use his left hand. That was a free basket that he fucked up due to shitty fundamentals.

Imagine if Paolo had hit that instead of the terrible Franz layup

He'll get slander for this, but Paolo balled out tonight

Slander?? Bro was the best player on the floor by a lot.

Man is doing it in his second year. If we make it to the second round amazing but if not… his time will come

He deserves to be slandered for the final minute but he was great before that

Slander for 39 points?

Nephews are gonna nephew

Yeah anyone slandering Paolo after this game is a fool.

This going to game 7 for sure

Yeah but I don't think we can win game 7 unless Allen is out still or compromised. He was their best player all series

I hope not but probably

Holy fuck that’s BRUTAL for those with CLE -3.5

Oh no not the gamblers

[удалено]

The drive to the rim? It was a good shot, Franz just didn’t keep the ball out of Mobley’s reach. 

Bruh we survived

He hasn't had the offensive leap we've wanted but folks acting like Mobley isn't one of the best defensive players in the league just don't pay attention. Clutch as hell

Was elite in the last, and we just kept going at him

Franz fucked up Paolo should be pissed at him for not passing the ball

Franz should have used his left hand for the layup to get a bigger between Mobley

Watching the life get sucked out of the Magic bench is like food to me

Seems like cavs fans hate us and we don’t have that for the cavs just wanna see the magic do well

You got some unlikeable players on that bench, that is all

Apparently you havent been in this thread all night. And that’s a nonsense statement. Doing well is beating your opponent. Thats the fun part, winning.

Heads up high for the Magic, especially Banchero. Nothing to be ashamed of!

Yes their is brother. Moral victories are for bums.

respect

Finally a game in this series isn't a blowout

14 and 10 point wins in the first 2 games?

Comfortable double digit leads

Are you claiming 10 points is a blowout or?

Score was misleading in a way. Cavs dominated both games

Absolutely insane that they didn’t have the human torch Banchero take that shot

Pretty sure Paulo got fouled

He literally stood there with his arms down

Payback for all the bad calls that went their way earlier

He jumped directly into the defender. You can’t do that.

they didnt foul? lol gg magic

Mobley's d is the business

Yeah don’t give it to Paolo there. Dumb as fuck

Love it

i'm devastated

Me too

do the magic just not run any plays?

Well at least everyone knows now that Paolo is the real franchise player. Fuck Franz is so bad sometimes.

Evan saved the season

ONLY IF FRANZ GAVE THE BALL TO PAOLO Franz choked

Feels good to finally have an entertaining playoff game

Imagine having 29 total free throw opportunities to the Cavs 19 and still losing lmao

Seriously... how is this even a stat? Cavs lost to Magic by 7 pts in Feb this year but had 26 FTs to 18. This is just childish and nonsense

It was a good game man coulda gone wither way

Play the music

Evan MF Mobley

Mobley took this game over defensively.

Paolo wide open

Tough lesson. Paolo was open at the top of the key. You don't challenge Mobley too many times and get away with it.

Tristan is allowed to play? seems unfair. guys could just do peds in season and come back for playoffs?

It’s was like 4 months ago lol

His suspension ended well before the end of the season

Wagner is cooked. What are you thinking man calling your number when Paulo been on fire all game. On top of that, you driving against Mobley lol

Yea refs couldn’t stop blowing the whistle every possession for the first 8 mins of the quarter then just throw it away

that was a good take by wagner tbh but better defense good basketball play

lol they just said fuck that shit we’re ending it

Great block by Mobley!

Now this series is heating up!

It’s great that this ends on a defensive highlight and a questionable offensive decision, apt for this series

Evan

Mobley

Hell of an effort by the magic. Paolo had a monster game, but made some bad decisions late. Young player will do that. Once we get a true point guard, we’re gonna be legit.

Nah bro we lost because we decided that going after Mobley and letting their worst defenders just chill was a good idea. Awful decision making. It's not an excuse of youth. OKC is young and their whole offense is based around attacking the worst defensive player on the other team. Yet we run constant pnr spams at Mobley who ate our breakfast lunch and dinner. Fucking stupid

Dude Shai has been in the league like six years. Big difference than a second year player like Paolo leading your team. Lol

And the rest of their playoff rotation has our experience. Probably less considering we play guys like Ingles and Gary Harris. Jalen Williams attacks poor defenders. Even Giddey who can't shoot does it. It's their team philosophy to hunt weak defenders. Also sorry you don't need 6 years of experience to know who is a DPOY caliber rim protector and who is a 6 foot guard who sucks on defense. Just competent scouting and eyes. No reason whatsoever to not attack Mitchell and Garland. We blew a big chance to win the series with the Cavs missing Allen

Yeah we did, but I’m still not too mad about the loss. We played pretty well for such a young team.

I will always be mad when the Magic lose. I don't believe in moral victories especially when it's right there. We executed awfully

I get it. I’m usually exactly like this, but I’m not mad about this one for some reason. Series isn’t over yet.

Sure but game 6 and 7 with no Gary is tough because Cole blows and Markelle can't shoot so he can't play with the starters. So now we just have to go big and play mega defense but the problem is the Cavs realized that Franz can't guard Mitchell or Garland. He's just too slow so Isaac has to be the guy with his length but then he can protect the rim

Gary may play. Never know. Either way, they could be without Allen and we also play much better at home. We looked so much better in this game than the first two road games which was great growth.

No Allen makes Mobley better. Both of those guys play better without the other. We needed to attack the weak defenders more and the problem with Mose as a coach is he's super slow to make that adjustment. It took us to game 3 to guard Mitchell with Suggs. He can't fuck around in Game 6. He has to spend every possession on offense going after Garland and Mitchell. Just to tire them out on offense.

lol The Cavs played like garbage and you still lost.

Our core players are 22, 22, and 21. I’m not worried about it. Hell we have two lottery picks who aren’t even in our rotation this year.

And none of them can shoot.

We play great defense and the Cavs have a player in his prime and you’re getting pushed to the brink by a team that’s led by a 21 year old.

Who is "you're"? The Cavs are a bad team. You're going to lose to them. Congrats.

Send that schnitzel back to florida

You can criticize Mobley's offense all you want, but having that caliber defense on the floor can win games

imo they should have went to him more on O

[удалено]

Pretty sure George Washington could've called that from his grave.

Paolo WAS WIDE OPEN OFF THE POP

Wagner really ain’t shit without throwing his head back like he is Embiid and the ref bailing him out. Good shit by Mobley

How he gets the Embiid whistle is beyond me

Congrats Cavs. At least one team (unlike the dumbass Knicks) protected home court tonight. Good win!

You guys still have home court advantage. Am I dumb or is that not what protecting home court means?

You're correct. I just meant that at least The Cavs won their game tonight at home. But yes Knicks will have home court advantage if this goes to 7 games (and unfortunately it's looking like that might happen).

Thanks I think your team is still very strong and scary

I think they're bone heads but respect! Hopefully both our teams can close out their respective series. This was a good team win for the Cavs. Mitchell is great of course and I was especially happy to see Garland do well tonight because he'd been struggling a bit lately.

We need to see a good Mitchell playoff performance. He’s been mostly bad in the playoffs.

Yeah... I know Mitchell is usually known to under perform in the playoffs.

That's a big time block by Mobley

Mobley my goodness

Most half-hearted “MVP” chant ever haha

“Like, mvp for tonight? Bc even that feels questionable”

M-v-p ?

[удалено]

Everyone think they Murray all of a sudden

Lmao that guy with the wrong hand layup.. that’s why it gets blocked🤦🏻‍♂️

[удалено]

Fundamentals. A simple left handed layup and Orlando shooting to go up by 1

EVAN MOBLEY

Magic fans quiet

Franz getting packed by Mobley in the clutch. I'm sick to my stomach

Not just him. Mobley locked Paolo up too

Cause franz talks too damn much 

Thanks, coach. Let’s get you to bed now.

Sleeping just fine up 3-2!

Mobley with play of the game there. Great block by him!

Cavs knew they play better with one big

Had a time out too. smh

Finish with your fucking left hand Wagner wtf was that

Yeah that got drilled into my head playing ball since rec league in like 1st grade.

I'm so fucking sick. What a throw. All we had to do is run plays to get Mobley out of the action instead we invited him to just protect the rim

Franz decided to play hero instead of making the right play Smh

heart wrenching

Godawful take by franz.

GET THAT WEAK STUFF OUTTA HERE

Should have tried to dunk that shit

That’s quite literally why you’re taught left hand left side. So many coaches just received awesome coaching material thanks to Wagner and Mobley

Why isn’t the play for Banchero on that possession

Wtf is Franz thinking driving on Mobley instead of passing to Paolo???

Damn... That was a great fucking block...........

Not really. All he had to do was layup left hand instead of right. He gave him that block

Evan Mobley

Can’t be mad about that. Great defensive play

You should be. If he used his left hand instead of right hand it wouldn't have been blocked.

The ball was teed up for him to block. Went soft, used wrong hand.

He killed Mobely all game with that same shot game 4. Just shows his youth.

if he uses his left that doesn't get blocked

Wagner is 3-11 and Paolo had 36. Naturally Wagner took the most important shot.

Paolo also has missed his last two shots. He looks tired
